A Recrea Construction project
Chetumal, 2026 references: New hotel construction: $8,300–$36,800 / m²; Guestroom renovation / PIP: $140k–$0.9M / key; MEP & energy retrofit: $1.4M–$23M / project.

What We Do for Hotels

Back-of-House

Kitchens, laundries, stores, staff areas and staff housing.

Maintenance & Recovery

Preventive maintenance contracts and post-hurricane recovery.

Renovation & Brand Conversion

Guestroom programmes, public areas, PIPs and repositioning.

Permits and rules in Chetumal

Othón P. Blanco municipality and state offices are local here, which often makes licences and Protección Civil reviews faster than on the coast. We map these approvals at the start of every hotel project, so design, procurement and works move in parallel.

When to build in Chetumal

Business hotels run steady weekday occupancy and quieter weekends and holidays, the reverse of resort hotels, which shapes the phasing plan. We build the phasing plan around that calendar, so revenue keeps coming in while the works advance.

Logistics in Chetumal

Chetumal has its own suppliers and access to Belize trade, though specialised equipment still comes from Cancún or Mérida.
