Dec. 8, 2009--Franklyn Hotels and Resorts, the leisure and hospitality arm of KOP group, partners with Property Logic to operate two Le Jardin de Fleur developments in Mediterrania Saïdia on the northeast coast of Morocco.

Part of the Le Jardin de Fleur collection of resorts developed by Property Logic, the first development to be managed by Franklyn Hotels and Resorts, "Les Grandes Villas," is located close to the 1,350 berth marina and El Palmeral Golf, featuring 25 uniquely designed villa properties and an exclusive clubhouse. The exclusive development will be operated by Franklyn Hotels and Resorts under the Franklyn Suites brand. The second resort is Le Village de Sport located by Las Lagunas Golf and Mediterrania Saïdia's world class sports complex. The development features apartments, townhouses and villas on a beautifully landscaped development complete with clubhouse, putting green, lakes, spa and sports facilities which will be operated under the Montigo resorts brand. Both resorts are due to open in 2011.

"We are excited to be part of the prestigious Le Jardin de Fleur development, as Saïdia is one of the most desirable locations in the southern Mediterranean, with immense potential for the luxury tourism market. Franklyn Hotels and Resorts is proud to operate a unique collection of hotels which delight the senses and aspirations of our guests," comments Dean Schreiber, Managing Director of Franklyn Hotels and Resorts. "We have chosen Saïdia for its location and the quality of the properties developed by Property Logic. Saïdia is positioning itself as the best coastal resort in Morocco and is set to become one of the greatest tourist locations in southern Europe. The white sandy beaches are superb, the sea is crystal blue in absolutely beautiful surroundings, and the location on the Mediterranean coast of Morocco offers good weather virtually all year round," adds Schreiber.

"Le Jardin de Fleur believes that with the appointment of Franklyn to our hotel partner portfolio, we continue to add value to the destination of Mediterrania Saïdia. We are committed to the long term success and quality of the project and the benefits that our hotel partners will bring to our property investors," says David Woodward, Director of Hotel & Commercial Operations for Le Jardin de Fleur resorts.
