JUNE 16, 2009 - ME Cancun, the resort located on the Yucatan peninsula, officially launches SuiteME - a 9,757 square foot, bi-level suite. Recently home to the cast of "The Real World" Cancun, SuiteME comes equipped with lavish amenities, highly-stylized furnishings, sweeping views of the Caribbean, and all the comforts of home. SuiteME combines comfortable, lavish accommodations with the ability to host large or intimate celebrations, girls' or guys' weekends, small corporate retreats or a relaxed getaway in grandiose, extravagant surroundings.

The experience of SuiteME begins the moment one steps over the threshold of the expansive foyer located on the suite's top level. Guests are greeted by saltwater fish, held in a spherical aquarium and surrounded by a circular, yellow cushioned seating area.

The top floor also features a fully-stocked bar, a purple felt pool table and a deck with blue couches and chaise lounges. An outdoor, spiral staircase winds down to the main level of the suite onto a second balcony and into the main living area. A hammock for lounging, a high-top table for dining al-fresco and views overlooking ME Cancun's adult-only pool area make this the most serene of the three balconies.

Adjacent to the "Serene Balcony," guests will find a living-room space. Sumptuous couches entice guests to relax while a coffee table with built-in sand boxes brings the beach inside. The walls of the living-room gradually change from a vibrant red, to orange, to yellow mimicking Cancun's famous sunsets. All SuiteME spaces were built with an openness and airy ambiance in mind. The living-room transitions into an open-plan, large kitchen surrounded by windows for unobstructed ocean views. The kitchen comes complete with a refrigerator, full range stove with oven, microwave, coffee maker and cooking utensils. Guests can eat family style at the blue-glass kitchen table or ask ME Cancun's chef to create a Mexican masterpiece. ME Cancun's culinary team is also available to teach Mexican cooking lessons in SuiteME.

Built in the tradition of "Real World" voyeurism, SuiteME's personality is captured through a number of design elements: a uniquely-placed set of showers; four, deep sink-bowls which face each other and feature a double sided mirror; and a 10-person hot tub. Enclosed by strategically placed, clouded glass, the showers feature two oversized rain-shower heads in each of the two stalls, handheld power jets, and natural Aveda amenities. From the foyer above, guests can look down into the 10-person, blue, bronze, and gold mosaic-tiled hot tub. "The Real World's" iconic Phone Room adds another voyeuristic element - located adjacent to SuiteME's living-room it is enclosed in glass and features an old-style phone, canopy bed, and an indoor garden of local flora. Guests looking for more privacy need not worry: cordless telephones, plasma screen televisions, showers with rain-shower heads and personal vanity areas are available in each of the four guest rooms.

Guests of SuiteME will find no shortage of entertainment. SuiteME boasts "The Playroom," outfitted with a plasma flat screen television, which doubles as a computer with complimentary Internet access, iPod docking stations and iPods preloaded with a variety of genres of music. Games such as Monopoly and Trivia Pursuit and a library of books are available as well as two massage chairs for guests to unwind. "The Playroom" is also fully game operational with a Nintendo Wii gaming console, Rock Band equipment - and plenty of room for different groups of people to play at the same time. For a quick escape outdoors, "The Playroom" connects to SuiteME's third balcony called "Balcony X," with room for 10 to hang-out, enjoy cocktails, and take pleasure in the views of The Caribbean.

Guests will find entertaining art in SuiteME. Acclaimed sculptor Yuri Zatarian's Birdcage and Stone Parrot greets visitors at the bottom level and Zatarian's stone fish adorn the walls of the suite, traveling like schools of fish throughout each room. Various Mexican artists' work appears in guest rooms and in common areas.

SuiteME guests have access to all the facilities of ME Cancun including the water ritual pool, the infinity pool and the adult-only pool, the ME fitness center, Yhi Spa, e-space, and the property's three restaurants; Silk, Salt and Rande Gerber's Maxim Beach House.
