Leading hotelier Barceló Hotels & Resorts understands today’s new concept of conducting business away from home and proposes combining the most modern technology of a large, state-of-the-art convention center with

the comfort and seemingly unending services of an expansive, all-inclusive resort: the five-in-one Barceló Maya Beach Resort, located on the magnificent Caribbean Sea in Riviera Maya, Mexico.

With more than 43,000 square feet of meeting space among 20 meeting rooms and space for exhibitions, Barceló Maya Beach Resort can accommodate up to 1,400 guests and provides all of the most up-to-date tools and facilities necessary for conducting successful meetings, including a full-service business center with Internet access, fax and simultaneous translators; resort-wide Wi-Fi access; and only the most technologically advanced audiovisual equipment for projectors, screens, lighting, speakers and conference systems.

Surrounded by a 5.3 million square-foot natural park on the best beach in Riviera Maya, the resort’s ideal location brings yet another element to the executive table: rest and relaxation. Meeting attendees can unwind at the resort’s 16,000 square-foot spa and wellness facility or by taking in any of the following on-site activities: seven lit tennis courts, in-pool aqua aerobics, snorkeling, kayaking, diving, mini golf, beach volleyball, sailing, windsurfing and more.

Combining readily equipped meeting space, a breathtaking location and the ease and convenience of an all-inclusive resort makes Barceló Maya Beach Resort an ideal place for any group event. Best of all, the resort offers true peace of mind with the following new offer for groups that are contracted and deposited by February 28, 2010, to operate before December 23, 2011:

– For every 25 rooms paid at the group rate on a nightly basis, a complimentary room will be attributed. (Offer limited to four complimentary rooms per night.)

– For every 50 rooms paid at the group rate on a nightly basis, one room upgrade to Club Premium level accommodations will be applied.

– Opening reception and meeting space rental is included.

– Spa treatments up to 20 percent off are also available.
