Resorts on the Riviera Maya and Cancun, Mexico Remain Unscathed by Claudette; Special Low Resort Summer Rates Continue to Entice Guests

RIVIERA MAYA, Mexico (July 17, 2003) - Paraiso de la Bonita Resort & Thalasso Spa is ready to welcome guests with lots of Mexican sunshine shortly after Claudette blew by its sandy beaches. Now making its way North, Claudette seemed to have more bark than bite for the major resorts towns of the Riviera Maya and Cancun, Mexico, resulting in a light tropical storm rather than the full-scale hurricane that reports promised.

'Hurricane' Claudette, quickly downgraded to a tropical storm on the Yucatan peninsula, did not cause any damage, local officials report. The tourism infrastructure, including airport service, hotels and resorts, is operating normally and the area's distinctive white beaches were completely unharmed.

"We are very relieved that Paraiso de la Bonita and the surrounding areas were undamaged by the storm," said Hector de Galard, General Manager of Paraiso de la Bonita. "We are happy to report that we are conducting 'business as usual' offering guests a luxurious, sunny Mexican getaway."

Travelers are urged to take advantage of the summer season's low rates currently being offered now through September 21, 2003. With this summer promotion, guests have an opportunity to reside in an ocean-view suite and take advantage of all the amenities and exquisite service offered at Paraiso de la Bonita for $323.00 (compared to the rack-rate typically starting at $450.00) per night plus 12% tax and 5% service charge.
