Club Med Cancun Yucatan resort opens November 11, 2006
Families invited to discover the wonders of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula
Miami, Florida, USA (August 21, 2006) – After 12 months and $24 million in renovations, a new Club Med Cancun Yucatan will emerge November 11, 2006, as the latest addition to more than 80 resorts worldwide. During the resort’s closure, Club Med revitalized not only the facilities, but also the philosophy behind Club Med Cancun Yucatan’s raison d’être. Changes include a strong emphasis on the discovery of the Yucatan region, new programs for families, upscale amenities and the Jade Villa, a concierge building for luxury travellers. The new Cancun Yucatan resort exemplifies how Club Med continues to raise the bar in all-inclusive offerings.
“Cancun Yucatan, with new children’s programs and the exclusive Jade concept, is the next step in the evolution of Club Med’s upscale and family-oriented vacations,” explains Cedric Gobilliard, president and CEO, North America. “We provide a level of choice and refinement that is truly unique.”
As a “Discovery Resort” Club Med Cancun Yucatan encourages guests to experience the archeology, gastronomy and culture of Mexico. Trained and knowledgeable staff members at the resort’s new Discovery Center facilitate excursions that emphasize respect and understanding for local cultures and environments. The Discovery Center, located in the heart of the Cancun Yucatan resort, provides 17 options for all ages, many of which promote ecotourism. Discovery trips include a cultural tour of archeological sites in Coba and Tulum, the opportunity to explore the cenotes of Ek Balam and a trip to Sian Ka’an, the largest marine natural protected area in Mexico, led by members of the local Mayan community.
No longer an adults-only resort, Club Med Cancun Yucatan invites families to discover the Yucatan Peninsula. With special facilities dedicated to children and teens, families may choose among a variety of excursions, daily activities and group lessons, including waterskiing, wakeboarding, windsurfing, flying trapeze and tennis. A Mini-Club Med, catering to children ages four to 10, will launch the last week of December 2006. The Club Med concept exclusively for teens and tweens will launch November 18, 2006. For parents travelling with infants, Cancun Yucatan provides a Baby Welcome program with amenities such as bottle warmers, high chairs and babysitting in the room. An adults-only dining area caters to those adults seeking intimacy and a child-free environment.
This fall, seven-night all-inclusive rates to Club Med Cancun Yucatan start at $1,190 (low season) and $1,350 (high season) per person. Rates at the Jade Villa begin at $1,428 for a standard and $1,785 for a suite.
