Dear Dave,
Well, it is the question that
all of us are asking this time
of year...When will Spring
spring?
Of course I'm saying that from balmy(?) Vancouver where the bulbs
started coming up at the
beginning of February. Then
we were blasted with several
more dumps of snow.
Most of us in the Vancouver
area are definitely snow
wimps. As soon as the snow
starts falling, roads close
and most people driving on
"all-season" tires start
sliding around.
Well, our little dog, Ralphie,
is definitely not a fan of
cold rain or snow either.
After all, she was originally
from Palm Springs and is
definitely a desert dog!
Both Ralphie and I certainly hope that the Winter season has been great
for sales, and that you enjoy
Spring very soon!

Krystal Grand Punta Cancun new video

If you have 4 minutes, check out
this
new video of the Krystal Gran
Punta Cancun. It certainly gives
a great overview of the property
as well as their great beach and
location. (Click

video.)
Here are some of my personal
bullet points on this property!
|
|
|
We are excited to announce
that Honua Kai Resort & Spa
will break ground on 72
luxury townhomes on the
grassy area behind the two
buildings. The construction
will start this month, and
is scheduled to be completed
sometime in 2020. When
completed, we will have
additional 3 bedroom villas
available!
The hours of development
will be from Monday through
Saturday from 9am -5pm.
Light work only (no noise)
will be deliberately
maintained from
8am-9am. During this time
the remainder of the resort,
pools, restaurants and all
its amenities will still be
available for guest
enjoyment.
Note that the construction
will only significantly
affect our mountain and some
of our resort view suites.
Look for construction view
rates in your favourite tour
operator. This may be the
perfect time to quote
construction rates to guests
who would not normally have
the budget to stay at Honua
Kai. (Note that our
Partial-ocean and OV suites
will not be significantly
affected by the
construction.)
You can find more
information about the
development
HERE.
We have an ongoing
booking bonus for agents
booking one of our Royal
Collection suites.
Don't forget to remind your
Honua Kai clients to use the
#HKMemories
to share their Honua Kai
memories.
