History
Melody Maker opened in 1990 and is located in the heart of Cancún's Hotel Zone.[1] Its original name was Meliá Turquesa before being renamed to ME Cancún in 2006. It has 11 floors and 419 rooms, including 40 suites and a total floor area of 283,000 square feet.[2] There are also four restaurants in the hotel. It was featured in the show The Real World: Cancun (then known as ME Cancun) and is where the cast stayed throughout filming.[3]
The property underwent extensive renovations in 2000 and 2006.[4][5] In 2018, the hotel got new ownership and was renamed the Melody Maker Cancún with Miguel Bosé performing for its grand opening in front of 2,500 guests.[6][7] The resort was expanded to 679 rooms.[8] The hotel's experience was described as "Vegas-meets-Cancun" by its CEO.[9] The hotel also featured a concert venue where musicians like Tiësto, Steve Aoki, and David Guetta have performed for spring break.[10]
In the summer of 2019, the hotel closed due to low occupancy just one year after reopening.[11][12] As of 2025, the property is still abandoned and there are no known plans to reopen it.[13]
