Dear Dave,
Fall is definitely a season
full of changes. Snow
already falling in the
prairies may mean a great
sun season for all of us.
Certainly the leaves
changing and falling in
Vancouver are a huge sign!
On our way to Mazatlan for
our recent El Cid FAM on
9/22, we had to de-ice the
plane? Didn't Fall just
start? Crazy!
Are you ready for the Fall
changes and the busy Fall
booking season?
I hope your Fall season is
full of fun and colour!

 Explore
Mazatlan with our FAM group
|
With any of our FAMs, we want to
make sure that the agents get to
know the destination. After all,
it doesn't matter how nice our
resorts are, if you can't
interest your clients in the
destination.
Amazing cliff divers in
Mazatlan.
The Mazatlan Tourist Bureau
hosted a great dinner one
evening in the historic old town
Mazatlan.
Enjoying a great excursion to the
mountain villages of Concordia and
Copala.
Copala is a charming little
village.
Sailing to a fun beach day on
Deer Island.
Lots of water activities on Deer
Island to enjoy.
I loved seeing the pre-Columbian
sea side archaeological site of
Las Labradas.
A
highlight for me was visiting the
turtle hatchery and releasing baby
turtles.

El
Cid Resorts - Best of our El Cid FAM!
|
I just returned from a great 7
night FAM to the El Cid Resorts
in Mazatlan with 15 great agents
from western Canada. We are
thankful to WestJet
Vacations,
PronaTours, and the
Mazatlan Tourist Bureau
for their support in allowing
our agents to really become
Mazatlan, as well as El Cid
experts!
The agents had a week to explore
the 4 El Cid Resorts. Here is
the fun El Cid Castilla Beach
pool.
It is great to have a bakery on
site for fresh goodies!
We were treated with amazing food
at all of the various El Cid
restaurants. Of course your
clients will enjoy the same.
The Granada's quieter pool.
and the 27-hole championship
Golf Course and Country Club.
The Marina El Cid is our luxury
property featuring junior and 1
bedroom suites.
The quiet Marina El Cid beach.
Wine tasting with El Cid's
own sommelier.
Fireworks on our last night on
property.

Krystal Resorts -
in 4 Mexican destinations
|
We've posted a lot about the
Hilton Puerto Vallarta and new
(adults-only) Hacienda at
Hilton Puerto Vallarta over
the past few months. I
thought I'd remind you that we
do have Krystal Resorts in 4
great Mexican destinations.
CANCUN - Krystal
Cancun & Krystal Urban Cancun
The Krystal Cancun is located
on one of the best beaches in
Cancun.
The Krystal Urban
Cancun is a business
focused property that isn't on
the beach, but does have
access (shuttle) to the
Krystal Cancun beach.
IXTAPA - Krystal
Ixtapa
The Krystal Ixtapa is in the
center of Ixtapa's hotel zone,
on a great beach. Almost all
rooms enjoy an ocean view!
There is still Christine's
Disco on property for guests
to enjoy.
PUERTO VALLARTA -
Krystal Puerto Vallarta
The Krystal Puerto Vallarta
enjoys a great location and
beach just minutes from the
airport and blocks from the
Marina. It also features a
brand new tower featuring
mostly OV rooms.
ACAPULCO - Krystal
Beach Acapulco
We know that Acapulco isn't a
big destination from the west,
but there are still some
flights and many devoted
clients who love the
destination from the Toronto
and Montreal areas.
