Playa Hotels &
Resorts, S.L., announced its acquisition of the 249 all-suite Grand Baja Resort & Spa set
against the dramatic Los Cabos desert landscape and overlooking the Sea of Cortez in
the state of Baja California Sur, Mexico. The upscale resort will be operated by Barceló
Hotels & Resorts and will be renamed The Barceló Los Cabos Resort, a Barceló
Premium branded hotel. The hotel will undergo a major renovation and expansion
including an additional 476 suites resulting in 725 guest suites in total by the end of
2009. In addition, several new restaurants, meeting space, services and amenities will
be added; ultimately delivering a true luxury resort experience.
This is the seventh hotel purchased in Mexico by Playa Hotels & Resorts. Since its
inception in 2006, Playa has also acquired: The Barceló Costa Cancun Hotel; The
Barceló Tucancun Beach Hotel; The Barceló La Jolla de Mismaloya Hotel in Puerto
Vallarta; The Barceló Karmina Palace Hotel in Manzanillo; The Barceló Ixtapa Hotel and
The Barceló Huatulco Beach Hotel. In addition, the company owns three properties in
the Dominican Republic: The Barceló Punta Cana Resort and The Barceló Dominican
Beach Resort in Punta Cana and the Sunscape Casa del Mar in La Romana.
“Baja California Sur, and the greater Los Cabos area, is a prime resort location with
good air lift and an existing strong market,” said Bruce Wardinski, Chairman & CEO of
Playa Hotels & Resorts, S.L. “The region’s dry climate combined with its dramatic
scenery and beautiful surf makes it a favorite destination for travelers. The Grand Baja
Resort is an incredible property in a great location along the area’s ‘hotel row.’ Our
plans for expanding the resort and upgrading all services and amenities, along with
branding the hotel as a Barceló Premium hotel will help to deliver an excellent return on
our investment,” added Wardinski.
