Buccaneer�s Creek Resort on the island of Martinique |
 CORAL
GABLES, FL, August 25, 2005 � Club Med will debut the new $60 million Club
Med Buccaneer�s Creek resort on the island of Martinique in December 2005.
The opening of this spectacular resort, set on one of the island�s most
beautiful beaches, represents an important step in Club Med�s ongoing global
expansion and part of its commitment to appeal to the needs of today�s
upscale traveler.
Getting to Martinique will also be easier than ever before, with new weekly non-stop charter flights from New York City�s JFK International Airport to Fort-de-France in Martinique beginning on December 17, allowing guests to arrive at this enchanted resort in time for lunch. The new Club Med Buccaneer�s Creek is being constructed on the site of the original resort which, since its opening in 1969, has become a legend in the Americas, virtually redefining the resort experience. When the new $60 million property opens in December, it will feature a truly upscale experience in signature Club Med style, featuring the Total All-Inclusivetm offerings. New and updated amenities include a 5,000-square-foot oceanside infinity-edge pool with massage jets, The Club Med Spa with five treatment rooms offering wet and dry treatments, the Club Med Gym with high-tech fitness facilities, a beachside multi-functional entertainment area and three new restaurants. The resort is a delightful discovery for all generations. The 293 completely new rooms, including 44 spacious suites, will feature numerous new top of the line amenities such as CD players, flatscreen televisions, pillow-top beds with plush bedding, deluxe terrycloth bath sheets, and lavish bath amenities. Mini-refrigerators stocked with bottled water, soda and juices will be added so that guests won�t have to leave the comfort of their luxurious rooms to enjoy a refreshing beverage. The rooms and suites are being designed in a �French Caribbean� fashion fused with sleek, modern details affording a relaxed, elegant style. Additionally, the newly updated accommodations will feature vibrantly colored, state-of-the-art bathrooms showcasing double vanity areas and large deluxe rainshowers. The exotic fauna found on Martinique, �The Island of Flowers,� will be showcased on the grounds of Buccaneer�s Creek, providing wonderful aromas and a sense of peace and well-being for guests. Plants and flowers such as hibiscus and bougainvillea as well as one of the largest cocoteraie plants in Martinique are found surrounding the resort�s beaches. In a unique partnership between Club Med, local organizations and governmental authorities in Martinique, the opening of Buccaneer�s Creek will help reignite the island�s tourism industry from the U.S. market, as the original Club Med Buccaneer�s Creek did in 1969. �The new Buccaneer�s Creek will breathe new life into Martinique as well as serve to further strengthen the Club Med brand,� commented John Vanderslice, President and CEO of Club Med Americas. �We are incredibly excited about the birth of this truly world-class resort, on the best beach on what I consider to be one of the best islands in the Caribbean. And for U.S. travelers, it will be very easily accessible with our weekly non-stop charter flights.� Buccaneer�s Creek is adding three new, distinct dining options. The resort�s new signature restaurant, La Belle Creole, will serve Creole cuisine. The main restaurant, Pays Melés, will feature traditional buffet-style dining offering a wide variety of cuisines to please the most discerning palates. Guests can also enjoy Le Madou, the resort�s poolside grill.
