AMResorts Signs New Resort Deal in Mexico

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - June 28, 2016

The Caribbean’s fastest-growing hotel company has added another new property to its management portfolio.

Apple Leisure Group subsidiary AMResorts has signed a deal to open the Zoëtry Chamela Costalegre Mexico all-inclusive resort.

The 120-room, new-build property will be located 90 miles south of Puerto Vallarta.

It will be the first resort under AMResorts’ management in Chamela Bay, Mexico.

Slated to open in 2018, the property will be located next to the upscale Zafiro development, home to LVMH’s Cheval Blanc hotel and an 18-hole Robert von Hagge golf course.

Construction is slated to begin in the first half of 2017.

“Mexico remains a key component of Apple Leisure Group’s growth strategy. As a result, our distribution to new destinations in the country continues to thrive,” said Javier Coll, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of Apple Leisure Group. “The variety of unique experiences provided through our vertically integrated family of travel companies allows hotel owners and developers to connect with a vast array of leisure travelers while maintaining the high level of quality and service synonymous with AMResorts’ six sophisticated resort brands.”

The property will include all of the traditional Zoëtry Wellness & Spa Resorts amenities, from thrice-daily maid service to gourmet a la carte dining to unlimited top-shelf spirits.

“Costalegre’s 150 miles of white-sand beach between the ports of Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta remain largely hidden and pristine,” said Gonzalo del Peon, President of AMResorts. “Relaxation is a priority here. Our familiarity with the regions we enter and the guests who travel there allow us to continually evolve to meet the ever-changing desires of our customers. This keeps us at the forefront of the industry and top of mind for travelers seeking the ultimate all-inclusive experience.” 

AMResorts has been rapidly expanding its hotel management portfolio in the wider Caribbean region with transformative management deals.
