New Paradisus resort set to open

Meliá Hotels International has transformed the Gran Meliá Cancun property into a luxury all-inclusive Paradisus resort that’s scheduled to open its doors Dec. 1. The new Paradisus Cancun is 15 minutes from the airport and 20 minutes from downtown Cancun. The resort will include adults-only Royal Service program, Family Concierge program and Kid’s Club, four pools with swim-up bars, six restaurants and five bars, a YHI Spa and Health Club, meeting and convention space and a nine-hole golf course. The multi-pyramid architecture of Gran Meliá Cancun will remain, while a series of renovations and beautifications will “elevate the property to the high design standards of Paradisus resorts.”Family Concierge will feature its own lounge with private check-in/out, Internet access, a snack buffet and premium drinks. Similarly, guests at Royal Service suites will also have their own private check-in/out lounge that includes daily continental breakfast buffet, snacks, coffee and premium beverages throughout the day and international newspapers. In Royal Service tradition, guests will also enjoy their individualized butler, which they can contact all-day with cell phones provided at check-in. Paradisus Cancun is offering a special introductory rate of $140 a night, p.p., based on double occupancy. This rate is valid Nov. 15 to Dec. 22, and Jan. 10 to March 31. The offer is for all bookings from now until Feb. 28, 2013. (http://www.melia.com)
