Sunset Marina Resort & Yacht Club

The resort and its setting

Sunset Marina Resort & Yacht Club is an all-inclusive property on Blvd. Kukulcan, Km 5.8, in Cancún's Zona Hotelera — the narrow strip of land between the Caribbean Sea and the Nichupté Lagoon where most of the city's hotels and timeshares are located. This resort faces the lagoon side, which is why it's built around its own marina and yacht club rather than a beachfront. On site, guests mention restaurants, bars, a spa and lagoon views as the main draws, with the all-inclusive format covering most meals and drinks. It's an independent resort rather than a major international timeshare brand, which matters when it comes to how resales are handled (more on that below).

The area and things to do

The Hotel Zone is Cancún's main tourist strip, a long boulevard lined with resorts, shopping centres and nightlife, with easy access to boat trips, water sports and day tours departing from the marina itself. Being on the lagoon side rather than the beach side, Sunset Marina is a short taxi or bus ride from the public beaches and other hotels along Kukulcan Boulevard, and it's well placed for exploring both the Hotel Zone and downtown Cancún. The wider Quintana Roo coast — reefs, cenotes, Maya sites, Isla Mujeres — is all within reach for day trips, making this a practical base rather than just a resort to settle into for the whole stay.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Sunset Marina Resort & Yacht Club and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or for rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. As with any private resale, you set your own asking price — there's no commission on the sale, just a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers. Interested buyers and renters contact you through the platform, so you stay in control of the conversation and the final price.

Because Sunset Marina is an independent resort rather than part of a branded chain, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or management office rather than a corporate timeshare brand. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't published by BidMyTimeshare.com and can change, so get them in writing from the resort directly. It's also worth asking whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, as many Mexican timeshare resorts do, and how long a transfer typically takes to process once the paperwork is submitted.

A resale buyer should expect to take on the usage rights to the week itself (and the obligation to pay future annual fees), but not necessarily any loyalty perks, banked points or exchange credits tied to the original owner's account — confirm exactly what transfers with the resort before closing. If you're renting rather than selling, be upfront in your listing about which week or season you hold, since that's usually the first thing a renter will ask.

Practical notes

Cancún International Airport is the gateway for this resort, with the Hotel Zone a straightforward taxi or shuttle ride away. The property is all-inclusive, so factor that into any rental price you set, as renters will expect meals and drinks to be part of the deal. Lagoon-facing rooms differ from beachfront ones in terms of view and access, so be clear in your listing about which side of the resort your week is assigned to, since this affects what buyers and renters are willing to pay.
