Resort Properties

Grupo Vidanta Resort Properties

We are aware of eight properties with resorts that have been discussed in the media, are currently under construction or are in operation.

We believe there are additional properties. The Grupo Vidanta sales staff discusses them freely. For example, a property referred to as East Cape is located near San Jose del Cabo. Rumors have it Grand Luxxe will be built there, as well as at least one golf course and possibly the Grand Bliss and Bliss. But we do not know for sure. So, these are rumored properties and are not included in our list.

You will note that Buenos Aires and Puerto Vallarta are the only two cities that offer only one resort. The other six properties operate at least two resorts. Following is our list of Properties:

Each city has much to enjoy...they are all great places to visit and explore.

In addition to the great sights in each city, the Properties offer terrific options too. We will try to post those options as we can. If you see something that seems interesting to you, please let us know so we can take a look.

Our understanding is operations are carried out by the following organizations:

• Grupo Vidanta
  
  
  • Holding Company
  • Investor in over twenty premiere resort brands across Latin America
    
    
• Vida Vacation Club
  
  
  • Mansions of the World
  • Grand Luxxe Operations
  • Grand Bliss Operations
  • Bliss
    
    
• Mayan Resorts
  
  
  • Grand Mayan Operations
  • Mayan Palace Operations
  • Sea Garden Operations
  • Ocean Breeze Hotel by Sea Garden Operations
  • Mayan Island Real Estate Operations
    
    

Timeshare Sales and Timeshare Customer Service functions seem to follow the operating responsibilities. We believe Grupo Vidanta Sales and Grupo Vidanta Customer Service were, and now Vida Vacation Club is responsible for contracts to use:

• Mansions of the World
• Grand Luxxe
• Grand Bliss
• Bliss
  
  

Alternatively, the Mayan Resorts organization seems is responsible for sales of and customer service for contracts issued to use:

• Grand Mayan Resorts
• Mayan Palace Resorts
• Sea Garden Resorts
  
  

Mayan Island sales is a separate operating entity as well.

We believe the restructuring is necessary to meet the needs of the expanding number of resorts. We also believe the sales organizations will sell contracts for all resorts, including Sea Garden.

Perhaps the first priority is to sell contracts to use the newer resorts. If not successful and to able to sell something, it is possible the sales staff then offers the prospect the more established resort contracts.

That said, this is total speculation on our part and could be entirely inaccurate.

In the meantime, have fun at each resort and enjoy your vacation experience!
