Puerto Vallarta’s CasaMagna Marriott Sets Renovation

The CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort and Spa will undergo a $10.7 million renovation of guestrooms, banquet rooms, and the resort’s main restaurant, La Estancia. Guestrooms and suites will start renovation from May 24, 2008 through Oct. 31, 2008.

Guestrooms and suite upgrades will include new furniture inspired by Mexican colors and patterns, freshly painted walls, Mexican-themed art, and newly decorated bathrooms. With only 10 percent of the guestrooms undergoing renovations at a time, the resort will continue to fully operate with 400 rooms available for bookings.

A $1 million renovation of the resort’s banquet and meeting facilities will take place in July 2008, and will include new carpet, woodwork and upholstery, as well as installation of new lighting and a state-of-the-art audio system.

The revamping and expansion of the resort’s La Estancia restaurant is scheduled from Aug. 1, 2008 through Oct. 31, 2008. As part of the restaurant’s makeover, La Estancia’s Chef Fred Ruiz, will be offering new signature dishes featuring authentic regional cuisine.

The renovation also includes expansion of the restaurant to accommodate an additional 150 seats, new sleek menu design, contemporary furniture, an open-air kitchen/buffet, and a wine cellar.
