SPECIAL REPORT

Canto del Sol Puerto Vallarta
All Inclusive Beach & Tennis Resort - Reinvented

By Jesús de Avila • Translation by Eduardo Rincón-Gallardo • September 2009


Bringing forward the evident proofs of a farfetched program and intense renovation work throughout its facilities, Canto del Sol Plaza Vallarta Beach & Tennis Resort declares that, in their commitment to offer the best comfort to their guests, they have reinvented themselves, starting an extensive repositioning campaign to place their hotel as one highly specializing in the All Inclusive concept.

• Origins:

Canto del SolThe “Five-Star Hotel” Canto del Sol Plaza Vallarta Beach & Tennis Resort has led a most significant career in Puerto Vallarta, singled out for the Three-Diamond Award by the American Automobile Association, it was inaugurated just over two decades ago by Grupo Posadas de México, originally naming it: Fiesta Americana Plaza Vallarta. Sometime afterwards Grupo Sidek incorporates it to its select group of hotels as the Continental Plaza until 2002 when it was acquired by Corporativo Hotelero La Nogalera, which, besides the now Canto del Sol Plaza Vallarta Beach & Tennis Resort; also operates and owns the hotel Villas Vallarta by Canto del Sol, conveniently located at Villas Vallarta Shopping Center, right in front of the Canto del Sol Plaza Vallarta Beach & Tennis Resort.

• Focus:

Canto del SolBy offering the “All Inclusive” concept and being the only resort in Puerto Vallarta featuring an internationally renowned Professional Tennis Club, the Canto del Sol Plaza Vallarta Beach & Tennis Resort maintains a family-oriented focus that is being repositioned emphasizing its high levels of service.

Having channeled a huge investment into the renovation of all its guestrooms, the Canto del Sol Plaza Vallarta Beach & Tennis Resort has re-invented itself; using among other things, elements that speak of an influence of modernity, while maintaining and enhancing the warm and vibrant colorfulness of Mexico and delivering it to their clients.

All rooms, as well as their pools and spa facilities have been completely renovated with the purpose of showing modernity, ampleness, freshness, versatility and functionality. Every room now features a 32’ plasma screen, also including high-speed wi-fi internet connectivity.

The purpose of the renovation has been to comply with all guests’ requirements while making them feel much better than they would at their own homes; the outcome is a hotel with a Mexican identity, a style that goes with the times and offers an unbeatable service.
