Puerto Cancún
Puerto Cancún is a marina and land development in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, north of the city of Cancún, planned to include a golf course, hotels, condominiums,shopping mall, time shares and spaces for retail businesses. The multimillion-dollar development project was originated as a partnership between Fonatur, Mexico's National Trust Fund for Tourism Development, and the late Michael Eugene Kelly, the CEO, president and "principal promoter"[1] who, since 2006, has been in custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, Chicago, facing charges of operating a $428 million Ponzi scheme that defrauded over a thousand elderly and senior citizens of their retirement money.[2] Advertising in 2010 described the continuing development as "a gated community" offering luxury and security.[3]
The Puerto Cancún development was designed by the EDSA and Humberto Artigas as a master planned resort community with a variety of living options. Guests can vacation at the resort for short term stays at the hotels, purchase a time-share, or buy even a residence of their own. At this stage in the development, interested buyers also have the option of purchasing a building lot to build a home to their own specifications. The development provides a variety of amenities for guests and homeowners, including a Tom Weiskopf designed golf course, a 270-acre ecological reserve, a full-service marina, a club house with a spa, family areas, adult and children’s pools, and full beach access.[4] Due to ongoing construction, not all amenities may be available at this time.
