Meeting, incentive group, and conference requisites evolve constantly, but some needs remain consistent year over year: a unique venue; stellar service and coordination before, during, and after the event; a focus on environmental sustainability; and skillfully developed programming designed to pique attendees' imaginations and ultimately result in lasting memories.
Elegantly designed with attention to every detail, Paradisus Resorts — which are owned and operated by the Spanish brand Meliá Hotels International, one of the most successful hotel companies in the world — is a leader in the luxury all-inclusive resort category. Offering meeting and convention professionals access to some of the world’s most coveted beachfront locations, these resorts feature spectacular architecture, world-class cuisine, environmentally friendly practices, and premium services, allowing for the ultimate relaxation experience in a stress-free and upscale environment.
The brand has five current properties: Paradisus Palma Real and Paradisus Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and Paradisus Cancun, Paradisus Playa del Carmen La Perla (adults only), and Paradisus Playa del Carmen La Esmeralda in Mexico. Also in Mexico, the most recent addition to the Paradisus brand is Paradisus Los Cabos. It features one of the largest convention centers inSan José del Cabo with over 13,500 square feet of meeting space and eight breakout rooms.
Paradisus Resorts properties not only offer all the staples required — flexible meeting space, beautifully appointed indoor and outdoor venues, professional staff, and more — but also ensure that guests can take advantage of state-of-the art technology and updated practices in environmental sustainability. These sustainable practices include working to eliminate all single-use plastics from the hotels (plastic bottles, cups, coasters, bags, and straws) by the end of 2018. Property teams have additionally begun to implement water filters at all locations. It is their commitment to innovation and offering a one-of-a-kind experience that sets Paradisus Resorts apart from the rest.
To further the brand’s commitment to environmental responsibility and cultural immersion, Paradisus Resorts have developed various activities for meetings professionals to better the communities in which they are staying. These activities include tours of the mangroves and gardens to embrace their natural habitat.
