Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort: Did the Mayan calendar influence the resort's design?

I doubt it. Most resorts in Cancun prioritize a generic "tropical paradise" aesthetic over specific cultural details. Think generic palm trees and stucco, not intricate Mayan carvings. You might find some vaguely Mayan-inspired patterns in the decor – maybe some subtle motifs on textiles or in the pool area tiling – but don't expect anything truly significant. It's more likely they're just using popular imagery to appeal to tourists than making a genuine historical statement.

It's a long shot, but you could try contacting the school directly – maybe their website has some photos or they can tell you if the murals are still there. Failing that, if you're already in @Cancun and near the school, just pop by and take a peek! Worst case scenario, you get to explore a bit of @Cancun and maybe discover some other cool stuff. Good luck, hope those murals are still kicking!
