Valentin Hotels Introduces Riviera Maya Resort
DECEMBER 9, 2009 - Surrounded by ecological reserves, emerald-green jungle, and turquoise blue water, Riviera Maya is a destination where visitors can indulge in nature's splendor. Valentin Imperial Maya Resort, a luxurious all-inclusive, adult-only resort property, encompasses these incredible natural surroundings and masterfully incorporates them into the resort's beautiful landscape. Nestled along a pristine half-mile stretch of white sand coastline aptly named Playa Del Secreto (Secret Beach), Valentin Imperial Maya Resort offers its guests the sense of a secluded island paradise.
Opened in November 2007, Valentin Imperial Maya is the first resort developed outside of Europe by Valentin Hotels, a family-run hotel business that began in 1966 in Mallorca, Spain. The company currently owns and operates six resorts in Mallorca, two in Menorca, one in Costa de la Luz and one in Gran Canaria of the Canary Islands. Inspired by the grand haciendas of Spain, the magnificent 540-suite Valentin Imperial Maya Resort presents a unique blend of classic style and contemporary sensibility.
"By offering guests a high level of elegant and personalized service, Valentin Imperial Maya Resort is setting new standards of quality for all-inclusive resorts," says Dirk Urban, General Manager Valentin Imperial Maya, "What sets Valentin apart from other hotel brands is our attention to detail and the unique ability of our staff to make guests feel comfortable and taken care of, as if they were among family."
Valentin Imperial Maya Resort features an impressive array of world-class amenities, ranging from superior accommodations, outstanding restaurants, state-of-the-art meetings facilities and a seemingly endless menu of recreational activities. The resort offers six categories of suites that overlook the majestic Caribbean Sea, 900-foot meandering swimming pool surrounding three island pools or natural lagoon area. Additionally, guests can enjoy the enormous main pool, which features two swim-up bars. All guest suites offer a range of deluxe amenities including private terrace or balcony, marble bathrooms with hydro-massage tubs, fully stocked mini-bar, high-definition television with DVD player and extensive movie selection, radio/alarm clock with I-Pod dock, nightly turndown service, slippers, bath robe and a bed pillow menu.
For dining, Valentin Imperial Maya Resort offers seven à la carte and two buffet restaurants which invite even the most discerning palates on a first-class culinary adventure. Offering gastronomy from Italy, France, Japan, Mexico and other Asian-inspired cuisine, dishes are hand crafted and presented by world-renowned chefs. To keep guests informed of the exciting mix of activities both on and off the property, the 'Valentin Journal' is distributed daily and offers a schedule of what is happening at the resort as well as the weather, available tours, excursions and information on the "Spotlight Show," taking place each evening in the resort's fully air-conditioned theater "El Palenque." For an additional cost, guests can enjoy a private, romantic dinner on the beach.
Guests can also take advantage of the Spa at Valentin Imperial Maya, a haven of relaxation and rejuvenation which offers a variety of treatments and spa rituals devoted to energizing the soul and invigorating the body, mind and spirit. Special treatment rooms are available for couples, featuring a Jacuzzi and rain shower.
For couples planning their weddings or who wish to renew their vows, Valentin Imperial Maya Resort is home to an official Roman Catholic chapel, the only one of its kind located within the entire destination of Riviera Maya.
