Coinciding with the celebration of the FITUR tourism trade fair in Madrid, the Spanish hotel company Sol Meliá
has officially announced the inauguration of a new Paradisus Resort: the Paradisus Riviera Cancun. With the addition
of this exclusive 5 star luxury all inclusive resort, the company continues its development of the Paradisus Resort
