Paradisus Gets the Golden Apple

Oct 31, 2006

The Apple Vacations’ Golden Apple Award signifying that a hotel or resort has surpassed the highest standards of service and uncompromising excellence has recently been awarded to three of Paradisus’ five-star, luxury resorts: the Paradisus Riviera Cancun Resort, Paradisus Palma Real Resort and Paradisus Playa Conchal Resort.

Based on staff evaluations and the opinions of hundreds of thousands of Apple vacationers, only a select group of hotels have earned the Golden Apple Award, which is evaluated based on rigorous, luxury global standards.

“The receipt of the Golden Apple Award is proof that Paradisus Resorts offers guests the highest standards in service, facilities, and amenities,” said Susanna Mander, director of brand management for Paradisus Resorts. “The honor is indeed a testament to each resort’s staff, whose momentous efforts consistently surpass standard service levels on a daily basis.”

Paradisus Resorts are located in some of the most popular beachfront destinations throughout the Caribbean and Mexico. To better serve its guests, Paradisus Resorts is introducing a new Family Concierge service, reserving its Royal Service for adults and couples only. The Family Concierge service features Family Concierge Suites with in-room amenities designed for families, such as children-sized bathrobes and slippers a mini-bar stocked with juices and milk and walkie-talkies to communicate with a family concierge.

The Paradisus Riviera Cancun Resort is all-inclusive, featuring 500 suites and four Ambassador Suites. There are six restaurants featuring Mediterranean, Mexican, Japanese and French cuisine, as well as activities ranging from kayaking to windsurfing. The adults-only Royal Service suites at the Paradisus Riviera Cancun Resort are part of The Leading Hotels of the World. The Renova Spa at Paradisus Riviera Cancun is a member of The Leading Spas. The Paradisus Riviera Cancun Resort is an AAA Four-Diamond Resort. L’Hermitage, an adults-only, French gourmet restaurant was also recently honored with an AAA Four-Diamond.

Paradisus Resorts are luxury all-inclusive resorts by Sol Melia Hotels & Resorts, managing more than 350 hotels in 30 countries.
