History

Mayan Resorts starts up in 1975 with the inauguration of Paraíso Mazatlán (Mazatlan Paradise) a resort along one of the most exquisite beaches in the Mexican Pacific, as a pioneer development for Vacation Club ownership in Mexico.  Because the success of Paraíso Mazatlán, in 1979 construction of Paraíso del Mar (Sea Paradise) begins, as a second development in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, opening to the public on June 15, 1980.

After four years, the Costa Brava Hotel (Brave Cost Hotel), located a few steps from the Paraíso del Mar, is inaugurated.  Later its name is changed to Vidafel Mazatlán.  Today it is known as Sea Garden.  On that date Mayan Resorts started an era of intense growth, spreading to the main tourist destinations of Mexico.

In 1988 the company started building a spectacular hotel on almost 200 acres in Playa Diamante, Acapulco, featuring a majestic lobby and columns inspired by the grandeur of the Mayan culture. The company named the hotel Mayan Palace and adopted it as the image of Mayan Resorts, In 1992, Mayan Palace Acapulco a revolutionary concept of five-star plus resort opens its doors. Mayan Palace combines the excellent service and extensive amenities of a five-star hotel with the concept of vacation ownership. It is a popular vacation choice for Americans, Canadians and Europeans, as well as Mexicans. In 1996, the Sea Garden Acapulco is opened, located by the golf course of the Mayan Palace.
In October of 1995, a strong earthquake affects the Pacific coasts of Jalisco and Colima.  This phenomenon seriously damages the Vidafel Vallarta resort development.  Once reconstructed, it is named Mayan Palace Puerto Vallarta.  Totally functional by 1998, it is given five-star plus classification. The Mayan Palace Nuevo Vallarta resort opens its doors in 1997.   At the most southern point of Mexico, within the Riviera Maya tourist corridor, the Mayan Palace Riviera Maya is inaugurated in December of 2001, and located only 35 minutes from Cancun’s airport.

In January of 2003, operations begin at the Mayan Palace Puerto Peñasco, located between the Sea of Cortes and the Sonora desert.  It is a lush and paradisiacal spot that will shortly become one of the most important tourist developments in Mexico. That same year, in October, the first The Grand Mayan Hotel, a new concept in luxury hotels, opens its doors on the Riviera Maya. Mayan Resorts opens a new development in November 2003, Sea Garden Nuevo Vallarta, which follows the concept of the Sea Gardens in Acapulco and Mazatlan. At the same time, The Grand Mayan Acapulco starts operations in this important tourist destination.

The Grand Mayan Nuevo Vallarta is inaugurated in October 2004, sharing in the same benefits that the Mayan Nuevo Vallarta Group offers:  golf course, swimming pools, spa, gym, and restaurants.  Mayan Country Club opens its doors to the public in July of 2005, on the beaches of San José del Cabo, where The Grand Mayan Los Cabos and Mayan Palace will be soon inaugurated.
