The Mansions of the World chapter in Argentina has come to a close....at least for owners of Grand Luxxe Residence Club contracts. Some contracts still have the addendum that allows access to the Mansions of the World hotel. Clearly that addendum no longer carries any value unless Vidanta resurrects the brand on its properties in Mexico.
Ah, the world of change.......Stay Tuned....
