Presidente InterContinental Cozumel Resort & Spa to Reopen In October 2006
The Presidente InterContinental Cozumel Resort & Spa will reopen on October 1 following an extensive $25 million redevelopment project that will reposition the resort as a five-star luxury property, according to Grupo Presidente, operators of Presidente InterContinental Hotels & Resorts.
The exclusive resort will boast completely redesigned rooms and suites, featuring luxurious furnishings and wide-screen plasma televisions. Grupo Presidente has decided to reduce the property´s total room inventory from 253 rooms to 220 rooms, allowing resort staff to provide an even more personalized level of service. A new room category, Ocean Suites, has also been created. These opulent one and two bedroom suites will provide guests unparalleled views of the Caribbean Sea.
The Presidente InterContinental Cozumel Resort & Spa, which has always been the property of choice for discerning travelers who love to dive and snorkel, will include an expanded ´Scuba Du´ dive and watersports facility, ideal for first-time divers and certified divers. The resort, located on nearly 1,000 feet of Cozumel´s most prized white sand beach, is just minutes from the magnificent Palancar Reef, part of the second largest barrier reef in the world, making the island one of the world´s top snorkeling and diving destinations.
A new lobby designed with guest convenience in mind will feature individual desks for check-in. The resort will also add a golf putting green, a second ´adults only´ pool and bar, a renovated ´Chiqui Club´ for children, and a courtyard featuring retail shops and new tennis courts.
The entrance area will feature a new road lined with newly planted lush vegetation and several fountains. The resort´s main restaurant, Alfredo di Roma is being completely redesigned and will feature a new bar area as well as a private room with its own terrace. The resort´s Caribeño Restaurant will be completely new and will include a lounge area for guests and a spectacular bar with inspiring views of the Caribbean Sea.
