Dear Dave,
 
Well, it is the question that all of us are asking this time of year...When will Spring spring?
 

Of course I'm saying that from balmy(?) Vancouver where the bulbs started coming up at the beginning of February.  Then we were blasted with several more dumps of snow.
 

Most of us in the Vancouver area are definitely snow wimps.  As soon as the snow starts falling, roads close and most people driving on "all-season" tires start sliding around.

 
Well, our little dog, Ralphie, is definitely not a fan of cold rain or snow either.  After all, she was originally from Palm Springs and is definitely a desert dog!
 

Both Ralphie and I certainly hope that the Winter season has been great for sales, and that you enjoy Spring very soon!

bulletBEACH - On one of the best beaches in Cancun
bulletNIGHT-LIFE - Walking distance to some of the best night-clubs in Cancun (Coco Bongos)
bulletEXCHANGE - Full exchange privileges with Krystal Cancun next door
bulletSHOPPING - Walking distance to great shopping
We are excited to announce that Honua Kai Resort & Spa will break ground on 72 luxury townhomes on the grassy area behind the two buildings.  The construction will start this month, and is scheduled to be completed sometime in 2020.  When completed, we will have additional 3 bedroom villas available!
 
The hours of development will be from Monday through Saturday from 9am -5pm.  Light work only (no noise) will be deliberately maintained from 8am-9am. During this time the remainder of the resort, pools, restaurants and all its amenities will still be available for guest enjoyment.
 
Note that the construction will only significantly affect our mountain and some of our resort view suites.  Look for construction view rates in your favourite tour operator.  This may be the perfect time to quote construction rates to guests who would not normally have the budget to stay at Honua Kai.  (Note that our Partial-ocean and OV suites will not be significantly affected by the construction.) 

You can find more information about the development HERE.
 

We have an ongoing booking bonus for agents booking one of our Royal Collection suites.
 
Don't forget to remind your Honua Kai clients to use the #HKMemories to share their Honua Kai memories.
ElCidEl Cid Resorts - Ventus at Marina El Cid
Have you heard about El Cid's newest property - Ventus at Marina El Cid?  It is located in Puerto Morales, right next to the Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort.  The Ventus opened in November, and I was there at the end of the month with a FAM.  I can tell you that the property is a great family friendly resort and is ready to host your clients.
 

You can book the Ventus at Marina El Cid with your favourite tour operator.


 
El Cid Rewards Dog
In addition, don't forget great $50 bonus gift card promotions for all of the El Cid Mazatlan properties.  You can find the details of El Cid's current  promotions HERE.
 

Don't forget to register all of your El Cid bookings in the generous El Cid Reward program.  It provides points for online shopping or gift certificates (details HERE) and is always available for agents to enjoy, both with direct and tour operator partner bookings.
