Planet Hollywood Cancun Hosts First-Ever All-Inclusive Wish Trip With Make-A-Wish Canada® and Sunwing Vacations

 

CANCUN, Mexico – June 18, 2025 –  This week, Planet Hollywood Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort, became the backdrop for a truly special experience as 30 Canadian families arrived to fulfill the travel wishes of children living with critical illnesses. In collaboration with Make-A-Wish® Canada and Sunwing Vacations, the resort hosted the first group Wish Trip to an all-inclusive resort, creating space for families to relax, reconnect, and enjoy time together through a series of thoughtful, joy-filled moments.

 

The journey began in Montreal with a sense of excitement. Wish families had the opportunity to meet one another and take photos against a Planet Hollywood branded backdrop, and were surprised with swag items at they boarded their charter flight, kicking off the experience with smiles before they even touched down in Cancun. Upon arrival at the resort, families were welcomed by some of their favorite movie characters, setting the tone for a week full of wonder and ready to Vacation Like A Star™.

 

From a guided tour of the resort to days spent at the Shipwreck Cove Splash Park, lazy river, and the Stars Kids Club, the children embraced everything the property has to offer. There were movies in the cinema, plenty of poolside fun, and quiet moments that encouraged calm, connection, and simply being together.

 

One of the most memorable evenings was a special, movie-themed dinner hosted by the resort in honor of the Make-A-Wish® Canada families. Speeches were shared by representatives from Planet Hollywood Beach Resorts, Make-A-Wish® Canada, NexusTours, Sunwing Vacations and the WestJet Group, leading into an evening of playful activities, including drawing and face-painting stations, and character appearances that brought the movie magic to life.

 

With its all-ages energy, immersive design, and Hollywood-inspired touches, Planet Hollywood Cancun was a natural home for this unforgettable journey. For one meaningful week, the resort brought stories to life, not on screen, but through the smiles, laughter, and shared moments, offering much-needed strength and healing to these extraordinary children and their families facing critical illnesses.
