Club Med Set to Open New Upscale Buccaneer´s Creek Resort in Martinique

Club Med will debut the new $60 million Club Med Buccaneer´s Creek resort on the island of Martinique as soon as 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.

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-Inclusive offerings. New and updated amenities include a 5,000-square-foot seaside 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, flat-screen 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 rain showers.

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 Meles, 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.
