RIVIERA MAYA, Mexico, Jan. 17, 2012 -- Grand Luxxe Resorts today announced the grand openings of new towers and buildings for its high-end luxury brand in both Mexican resorts of Nuevo Vallarta and Riviera Maya, further solidifying Grand Luxxe as the premier choice for discriminating travelers.

Ending the year with a flurry of expansion activities, Grupo Vidanta continues its aggressive plans on growing the number of offerings in the luxury segment. The two new locations now provide a total of 315 new suites ranging from master rooms, single bedroom suites, two bedroom suites, villas and Presidential suites.

Grand Luxxe Riviera Maya

Grand Luxxe Riviera Maya debuts two triangular shaped buildings with Grand Luxxe Riviera Maya I and II, opening December 19, 2011 and November 11, 2011 respectively.

Located 23 miles from Cancun's International Airport and buried deep in the exotic jungle, visitors can escape the mundane and enjoy the wonders of the mangrove, its flora and fauna, the breathtaking coral reef and the majesty of the towering Ceibas trees.

Wide, refined spaces exude relaxation and opulence while surrounded by the natural, exotic beauty of the Riviera Maya. Spacious fine wood terraces blend in harmoniously with modern, comfortable furniture to create an experience second to none. Delight in the tropical sophistication from your heated pool as the Caribbean sun dips over the horizon.

"Grand Luxxe has put a stake in the ground by redefining what luxury travel truly means," says Eric DuBaele, Director of Hotel Operations at Grupo Vidanta. "The new villas and suites at Riviera Maya are a welcome addition to an extremely popular international destination. Our clientele can enter a world where their every need is met during a vacation experience unlike any other."

Grand Luxxe Nuevo Vallarta

The Grand Luxxe Tower III opened on November 11, 2011 with a breathtaking view over the Nuevo Vallarta resort grounds, the glimmering ocean and a vantage towards the heart of Puerto Vallarta.

The Grand Luxxe Tower Punta also opened on November 11, 2011 and is located on the edge of the beautiful Ameca river just steps from the beach. Surrounding the tower is a private lake that leads to the majestic infinity pool, the lower beach deck with a choice of four Jacuzzis and a unique view of the Banderas Bay as the backdrop. The Grand Luxxe Tower Punta also debuts a new suite format that can be reconfigured to create a three bedroom Presidential suite with capacity for ten guests.

"Nuevo Vallarta has seen tremendous demand as travelers flock to its appealing combination of sun, sand and proximity to the small town charm of Puerto Vallarta," continue DuBaele. "The two new Grand Luxxe towers expand capacity and ensure greater choice and flexibility for our clients."

Both expansions also feature "The Burger Custom Made," a restaurant concept blending the familiarity of the burger with the gourmet offerings of Kobe beef, fois gras, crab, seared tuna and duck; burgers are accompanied by delicious side dishes such as red wine confit onions, wild mushrooms, blue cheese and more.

Setting the Bar for Luxury

Since its debut in early 2010, Grand Luxxe has set the bar for personalized luxury travel in the affluent vacation segment. Sumptuous suites and villas provide between 2,300 and 3,000 square feet of room, among the largest in the resort industry. Accommodations at the Grand Luxxe spare no details and include custom marble flooring, fine accents, rich wood furnishings and luxurious upholstery. Bathrooms exude an air of luxury befitting a spa and offer guests a place to unwind in the free standing tubs.

Modern amenities abound, including private plunge pools on the balcony, private butler service for each floor, 50-inch flat panel televisions, Wi-Fi Internet access, Blu-ray players, in-room Jacuzzi and 24-hour room service, personalized transportation and medical service. Grand Luxxe pampers its visitors with full health spas and fitness centers, a unique Kid's Club camp experience and a world-class Nicklaus-design 18-hole golf course that is a delight for pros and casual players alike.
