At last, the long-awaited day so many of you have been asking about is finally here: December 1, 2011. Today, after four months of renovations, our new star in the Mexican Caribbean opens to the public: Iberostar Cancún.

After a top-to-bottom refurb in which we have invested more than $100 million, Iberostar Cancún starts to welcome lovers of Mexico today. Our goal has been to reach the very highest standards of quality and satisfaction, focusing on our three pillars: fine cuisine, entertainment and service. To this end, we have built a new Grand Buffet and specialty restaurants (gourmet, Japanese, steak house and, naturally, Mexican); a stage/amphitheater for our shows; a Mini Club with its own water park; and a Teen Club, among others.

Its location right on the spectacular Caribbean beach is but one of its many appeals. There’s also more than 100,000 square feet of outdoor space, where you can choose among no less than seven infinity pools (like the one in the picture above), perfectly integrated into the surrounding tropical gardens. Sports lovers will get a “kick” out of the professional soccer field, two tennis courts, gym, and a golf course overlooking the sea (how cool is that?). In fact, this golf course is one of the reasons why Iberostar Cancún is truly one-of-a-kind in Cancún, as it’s the only resort that has both a golf course and spa on premises.

As of today, then, you have one more star to enjoy in our 100+ Iberostar galaxy. And, if you want to experience its sybaritic charms without paying a penny, don’t forget to enter our “A Suite for Banderas” travel contest on Facebook. If you win, you’ll enjoy an all-inclusive one-week trip for two, including flights and lodging, to the new Iberostar Cancún. Still thinking about it? Just do it, the contest expires on December 7th!
