TO ITS VACATION EXCHANGE NETWORK
Miami, FL, October 13, 2014 - Interval International, a prominent worldwide provider of vacation services and an operating business of Interval Leisure Group, announced the affiliation of Moon Palace Jamaica Grande and Le Blanc Spa Resort in Mexico. Developed by Palace Resorts®, these luxury shared ownership properties follow Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort Nizuc, Cozumel Palace, and Isla Mujeres Palace, which joined Interval’s global network earlier this year. “We are very pleased to expand our relationship with one of the leading developers in the all-inclusive space by adding these two exceptional resorts. Both feature deluxe accommodations, personalized service, and a wide variety of amenities for discerning guests seeking the highest caliber vacation experiences,” said Marcos Agostini, Interval’s senior vice president of resort sales and business development for Latin America. “Moon Palace Jamaica Grande will open early next year and offer our members an exciting new all-inclusive vacation option in one of the most appealing destinations in the Caribbean.”
