Countdown to the Holidays
(DETM December Newsletter)
 
Dear Dave,
 
No matter which wonderful Winter holiday you celebrate, they are quickly approaching. (Well, Hanukkah has already started…) 
 
I hope you are all safe and warm and get your fill of holiday treats and sappy movies.  
 
Definitely time for us to break out our childhood Christmas stockings.
Even with our 2nd Covid holiday season underway, I hope we can all continue to enjoy the people and activities that are really important to us. At least with vaccines readily available, we can get closer to the people we love.
Stay safe and strong.
 
Sincerely,
 
Dave Emery

I’m happy to announce the official grand opening of the Ventus Ha’ at Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort. The Ventus Ha’ is the sister property to the Marina El Cid Spa and Beach Resort and the Ventus at Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort. This property has opened right behind the Ventus property. Here are some of my favourite things about this brand new property:
bullet Close to the CUN airport – The Ventus Ha’ is right behind the Ventus property and thus only 20 minutes from the Cancun airport in Puerto Morales.
bullet Full Exchange – Guests at the Ventus Ha’ have full access to the Marina El Cid and Ventus properties.
bullet 2 More Restaurants – 2 additional restaurants at the Ventus Ha’ are open to guests at all 3 properties.
bullet Platinum Service – Like the Marina El Cid and Ventus properties, the Ventus Ha’ offers the upsell Platinum Service. This includes special Platinum lounge access, butler service, aromatherapy and guaranteed sunset view rooms.
bullet Unique vibe - offers an approach to nature, creating an intimate atmosphere of beauty, wellness, and wellbeing with an inspired blend of luxury and comfort
