For Golf and Spa in Cancun, There's Only One Choice: The Renamed Hilton Cancun Golf & Spa Resort

Business Wire, Sept 14, 2005

CANCUN, Mexico -- Reflecting its status as Cancun's only resort with both golf and spa facilities on-site, the Hilton resort in Cancun has been renamed the Hilton Cancun Golf & Spa Resort. With the addition of a state-of-the-art 12,000-square-foot Wellness Spa, which opened in January, visitors to the resort can bask in the ultimate in pampering and beauty treatments. The spa features eight treatment rooms, a relaxation lounge, two saunas, locker rooms, individual and couples treatment suites that include climate control and a multi-channel music menu, full service beauty salon and spa boutique.

For those who prefer a round on the greens, the 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course offers spectacular scenery and exotic wildlife. Golfers of all levels are invited to explore its manicured fairways and greens, or practice at the driving range and putting green.

"We expect that our new name will raise awareness that we are the only resort in Cancun to offer both golf and spa facilities on site," said Dave Smith, general manager of the Hilton Golf & Spa Resort. "We cordially invite leisure guests, as well as the meetings and incentive market, to enjoy our championship golf course, lush spa and 426 luxurious ocean-view rooms, all surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty."
