CANCÚN, Mexico, Nov. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The sea turtle nesting season in the Mexican Caribbean occurs between May and October each year, and one of the beaches with the highest turtle arrivals is located in front of the Sunset Royal Beach Resort, part of the Sunset World Group. Therefore, the resort’s prevention staff is dedicated to monitoring and protecting the arriving turtles, safeguarding the eggs, and releasing the hatchlings.
It is worth mentioning that, due to the significant arrival of females recorded in 2024, the Benito Juárez City Council, through its Department of Ecology, requested that the Cancun Hotel Association and each individual hotel expand the capacity of their nesting pens. The results reported by Sunset World staff for the 2025 season confirm the importance of this recommendation. On the beach in front of the Sunset Royal Hotel this year, 85 females nested: 83 green turtles and 2 loggerhead turtles, laying 10,345 eggs, of which 8,388 hatchlings emerged.
To carry out this conservation work, the Sunset Royal Hotel staff receives ongoing training in:
- Proper beach preparation
- Safe handling of nesting females
- Site selection and construction of nesting pens
- Collection and replanting of nests
- Egg preservation techniques
- Controlled release of hatchlings
- Monitoring, counting, and preparation of statistical reports
