April 11, 2001
MIAMI, FL -- Occidental-Allegro Hotels & Resorts will announce the development of its newest and most exotic
property, Flamenco Xcaret Resort, at Mexico's premier travel convention, Tianguis Turistico. The press conference
will take place on Tuesday, April 24, 2001, at the Hyatt Regency in Acapulco, Ballroom 1 (Salon 1), from 2:00 p.m.
to 3:30 p.m.
Flamenco Xcaret Resort will be the only resort situated adjacent to the eco-archeological Xcaret Park in Playa
del Carmen, Mexico. It is slated to open in Summer 2002. The resort will offer guests all-inclusive accommodations,
in an enchanting villa setting reminiscent of a village on a river. Guests will savor Mexican, Caribbean, Italian,
Asian, and other international cuisines at the resort's nine gourmet restaurants. Within the tropical, authentic
Mayan culture backdrop of Xcaret, guests will choose from a variety of choices for entertainment, relaxation, adventure,
including water and land sports, and a wide range of activities.
Children, too, will revel in the resort, with an exclusive, supervised Kid's Fun Club to entertain, instruct and
amaze them.
In the heart of the Riviera Maya, Xcaret Park is a ``sacred natural paradise'' that protects and conducts research
on endangered species. Xcaret, ``little inlet'' in ancient Maya language, was one of the most important Mayan ceremonial
centers. Today, it is an eco-archeological park where visitors discover the most exotic fauna and flora. Visitors
are transcended to ancient times as they attend Mayan rituals and visit archeological sites. They explore the park's
natural wonders by swimming its underground rivers or with dolphins. Sub-sea adventure awaits those who snorkel
or scuba dive the offshore coral reefs or walk the bottom of an ocean inlet to discover its rich marine life.
