Hotel guests stand watch over Cancún beach spectacle
A couple of days ago, waves lapped against the hotel boundary wall. But yesterday it was the turn of guests lounging around the Crown Paradise pool to marvel at the fevered activity on the beach.
The ‘Filippo Brunelleschi’ has been toing and froing between the area where the sand has accumulated in banks on the seabed, and Cancún where the vacuumed sand is pumped onshore.
According to Sunday’s edition of Novedades, the dredger makes five round trips over a 24-hour period.
Two bulldozers have the task of distributing the fresh sand uniformly along the beach - at a rate of 200 metres a day.

Hello,
We are staying at Crown Paradise from Feb 15th to 22nd. I have been hearing reports that the beach is now closed due to the beach recovery. They will not let you on the beach. Is this true and if so when will people who are staying at Crown Paradise allowed on that beach?

Hi Robin,
I understand that the bulldozers have now passed the Crown Paradise and the Oasis Playa next door. The beach is about 28m wide!

Cristina Rodriguez de Acuña of Oasis Hotels & Resorts told me today that the beach reclamation project is in the area of Condominios Cancún Plaza, Royal Solaris, Aristos… on their way towards Punta Nizuc.
