INTERVAL INTERNATIONAL PRESENTS HACIENDA ENCANTADA RESORT & SPA IN LOS CABOS WITH INAUGURAL AWARD
Miami, FL, September 14, 2007 – Business leaders and local dignitaries recently attended the inaugural ceremony of the first phase of Hacienda Encantada Resort & Spa in Los Cabos, Mexico. Marcos Agostini, Interval International’s assistant vice president for Latin America, resort sales and service, presented Gabriel Macias Dueñas, chairman of the board of Mexico Grand Hotels, with a plaque commemorating the opening of the property.
The resort is being developed in five phases over the next four years, and when completed, will include more than 400 vacation ownership and fractional units with spectacular views of the Sea of Cortez. This is the third property the group has brought to market, after Marina Las Palmas in Puerto Vallarta, which opened in 1986, and Marina Fiesta Resort & Spa in Cabo San Lucas in 1991.
“We are proud to recognize Mexico Grand Hotels for its achievements in the vacation ownership industry and on the opening of this new distinctive property designed in the classic hacienda-style architecture,” said Agostini. “This group is renowned for its high-quality resorts that offer a wealth of amenities and services for owners and visitors.”
The units are appointed with elegant residential-style furnishings and the décor is crafted with indigenous woods and stone finishes that draw their inspiration from Mexican culture. Among the resort’s many amenities and services, guests will enjoy gourmet restaurants, bars, a European-style spa and beauty salon, several pools, tennis courts, a gym, an Internet center, a mini-market, boutiques, a travel agency, and many more. Other activities and attractions are available nearby, including championship-level golf courses, horseback riding, a variety of water sports, restaurants, bars and discotheques, etc.
In the last decade, Los Cabos has experienced tremendous growth and has become one of the most exciting vacation destinations available in Mexico today. Its location at the southernmost tip of Baja California Sur provides visitors with the opportunity to experience its unique landscape. The 20-mile tourist corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo offers stunning vistas of miles of gold sand beaches, coves, and the cobalt blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.
