AMResorts Converting Three Properties in Mexico
to New Brand - Dreams Resorts & Spas

 
NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA   April 28, 2004  - AmResorts unveiled a new brand to complement its existing Sunscape and Secrets brands. Dreams Resorts & Spas will be a luxury all-inclusive for couples and families. The brand officially launches this summer with the opening of properties in Puerto Vallarta, Cancun and Los Cabos; the Puerto Vallarta and Cancun properties will convert from the Camino Real brand and the Los Cabos property will convert from the Melia brand by July 1, followed by $12 million to $13 million renovations among all three. The renovations are scheduled to take place in phases and will not affect guests, according to AmResorts president Alejandro Zozaya-Gorostiza. All resorts will be fully renovated by the winter season. AmResorts also said it will open Secrets Excellence Riviera Cancun, a new construction with 442 units, in the fall.

As a critical player in the all-inclusive resort industry, AMResorts has plans to launch resorts in the most appealing tourist destinations. The company's rapid expansion is well noted; one year ago, AMResorts entered the Mexico market with one resort in Riviera Maya and three in the Dominican Republic and by the end of 2004, six resorts will be included in the company's portfolio in Mexico alone, for a total of ten resorts. The company already operates Secrets® Resorts & Spas, a five-star, luxurious all-inclusive resort brand catering to adults and dedicated to vacations for couples, singles and honeymooners, and Sunscape® Resorts & Spas, a first-class, all-inclusive resort brand appealing to families, couples and singles. Secrets® Resorts & Spas is a member of Preferred Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, and is the only all-inclusive resort in the collection to receive this recognition. Sunscape® Resorts & Spas is a member of Summit Hotels & Resorts, a collection of 145 unique and culturally elegant luxury hotels in 100 popular destinations around the world.
 

Based on the success of the company's Secrets brand of product, Dreams Resorts & Spas will offer the same high level of service and luxury, however catering to couples, friends and families. The innovative new brand,  which will initially comprise of three hotels, is designed to provide discerning leisure travelers with a comfortable, sophisticated place to stay quite unlike anything they've ever experienced in an all-inclusive resort vacation. 

"We discovered that there was a tremendous niche missing for families and the general leisure traveler that

wanted to experience a luxurious all-inclusive vacation experience. The launch of Dreams Resorts & Spas fits that niche and represents an important evolution in the industry, a unique union of leisure and luxury," said AMResorts® President, Alejandro Zozaya "All Dreams Resorts & Spas will offer the highest level of service to meet every guest's need and the benefits of our all-inclusive program, while each will have a strong, lavish yet very relaxed atmosphere   something which really doesn't exist in the all-inclusive resort industry today. Dreams will appeal to couples, friends and families."

Dreams Resorts & Spas will be located in major tourist destinations across Mexico and the Caribbean, with the first three opening in Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos and Cancun: Dreams Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa, Dreams Cancun Resort & Spa and Dreams Los Cabos Suites Golf Resort & Spa.
