Zoëtry Chamela Costalegre Mexico Slated to Open in 2018

Apple Leisure Group subsidiary AMResorts has signed a deal to open the Zoëtry Chamela Costalegre Mexico all-inclusive resort. The 120-room, new-build property will be located 90 miles south of Puerto Vallarta. It will be the first resort under AMResorts' management in Chamela Bay, Mexico. Slated to open in 2018, the property will be located next to the upscale Zafiro development, home to LVMH's Cheval Blanc hotel and an 18-hole Robert von Hagge golf course. Construction is slated to begin in the first half of 2017. The property will include all of the traditional Zoëtry Wellness & Spa Resorts amenities, from thrice-daily maid service to gourmet a la carte dining to unlimited top-shelf spirits. "Costalegre's 150 miles of white-sand beach between the ports of Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta remain largely hidden and pristine," said Gonzalo del Peon, President of AMResorts. "Relaxation is a priority here. Our familiarity with the regions we enter and the guests who travel there allow us to continually evolve to meet the ever-changing desires of our customers. This keeps us at the forefront of the industry and travelers seeking the ultimate all-inclusive experience."
