The company recently incorporated two new boutique hotels in Cancun, the Laguna Suites Golf + Spa and the Ocean Spa Hotel, which were purchased and remodeled with an $11 million dollar investment. The exclusive tourism group also proudly announced the completion of the first phase of Hacienda Tres Rios Resort. The corporation invested $60 million dollars to build this 273-room Riviera Maya luxury resort.

With these new acquisitions, Sunset World will own six hotels and more than a thousand rooms with the Royal Sunset Beach Resort, Sunset Lagoon Resort & Marina, Laguna Suites Golf + Spa, Ocean Spa Hotel, Sunset Fishermen Beach Resort and Hacienda Tres Rios Resort, Spa & Nature park--providing luxury and comfort in Cancun and the Riviera Maya.

Future tourist developments in Cozumel and Isla Mujeres have also been included in the long-term plans of the company.

Sunset World was created in 1998 by Orlando Arroyo Marroquin with the financial support of visionary men in Cancun such as Romarico Arroyo Marroquin, Arturo Marcelin and Jorge Pallas Caceres.
