AUGUST 22, 2008. Secrets Resorts & Spas, the luxury resort chain offering Unlimited-Luxury(R) to adults, recently celebrated the opening of its second and third property in Mexico's Riviera Maya region: Secrets Silversands Riviera Cancun and Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun.
"This is an exceptional time for all of us at Secrets Resorts & Spas; it's a thrill to celebrate the brand's expansion and the strong industry and guest support for our Unlimited-Luxury(R) concept," said Alex Zozaya, president of AMResorts. "With these two new Secrets Resorts & Spas, we can offer guests more choices of exquisite properties to match their personal style."
Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun is set between one of Mexico's most pristine beaches and 500 acres of lush rainforest. Maroma Beach has been named by the Travel Channel as the World's Best Beach for four years in a row. The resort features 412 beautifully appointed suites designed in warm tones with dark wood accents that fully enhance the overall romantic atmosphere of the property.
Guests can enjoy the resort's shimmering infinity pool or one of the 12 smaller pools that surround the suites, as well as breathtaking ocean views from 75% of the accommodations. Secrets Maroma Beach also features a selection of six `a la carte restaurants and six bars ranging from elegant to swim-up, all serving premium brands. The Secrets Spa by Pevonia offers beautifully appointed indoor and outdoor facilities and a state-of-the-art fitness center for an added measure of health and relaxation.
A short 20-minute drive from Cancun International Airport, Secrets Silversands Riviera Cancun is designed as a sensual sanctuary with a modern d'ecor to appeal to the most discerning travelers. The striking 433-suite resort, which features a combination of sleek light tones and modern metallic accents, is the most contemporary of the Secrets Resorts & Spas properties. With floating illuminated beds, oversized showers, Jacuzzi's for two, private balconies and Secrets' signature discrete room service, guests are insured a serene and romantic retreat. For those seeking relaxation, the 13,000 square-foot Secrets Spa by Pevonia combines the latest hydrotherapy offerings, unique indigenous-inspired treatments and state-of-the art equipment. Beyond traditional activities, guests can also engage in a variety of special programs like cocktail-making classes and dance lessons.
Since launching Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun five years ago, Secrets Resorts & Spas has received overwhelmingly positive responses from guests and travel agents alike, this contributing to the resort's recent recognition on Conde Nast Traveler's 2008 Gold List and Readers' Choice Awards. Secrets Capri has also been ranked as one of the world's top luxury resorts in user surveys conducted by online sites Trip Advisor and Expedia.
Additionally, by December 2008, Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun will re-launch as a complete Preferred Club Resort, offering enhanced personalized services to every guest. Luxury amenities, dedicated concierge services, 24-hour room service menus and private check-in and check-out are some of the new offerings available to delight guests beyond their expectations.
