There have been quite a few new hotels and resorts that have announced openings in January, far beyond our curated lists of new resorts opening in Mexico and the Caribbean this year!

Travel advisors connected to Virtuoso can celebrate two new partners: Galley Bay Resort & Spa in Antigua and luxury villa rental company, Rental Escapes, which offers a large selection of luxury villa rentals from Costa Rica to Italy.
In additional news, those who enjoy staying at Las Vegas’s MGM Grand Hotel & Casino will soon enjoy it even more following a $300 million room renovation.
The hotel will boast updated rooms, more suites and new dining and entertainment concepts.
Lastly, Hyatt announced it will be closing the Andaz Riviera Maya Resort this March.
The resort will be rebranded into an Alila, which will offer a smaller guest size, more suites and a more sustainable approach.
