· Paraiso De La Bonita Resort & Thalasso Provides Travelers With An Ideal Retreat To Give "Thanks"
Paraiso De La Bonita Resort & Thalasso Resort 'Thanksgiving' Package Provides a Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner

RIVIERA MAYA, Mexico (August 25, 2003) - Thanksgiving Day is a time to offer thanks while enjoying family gatherings and holiday meals. Now how about adding to this tradition: palm trees, relaxation in an amazing spa, white sand beaches and perhaps a little tequila? This year celebrate Thanksgiving at Paraiso de la Bonita Resort & Thalasso on the Riviera Maya in Mexico, and give thanks for togetherness, the beauty of nature, and a peaceful retreat.

The Thanksgiving Package offered November 26-December 3, 2003 at Paraiso de la Bonita provides all of the traditional Thanksgiving trimmings - except for the Macy's parade. Guests who select this package will reside in one of the resort's ocean-view suites for four nights and enjoy a taste of the time-tested beauty and fitness treatments at the beautiful 22,000-square-foot Thalassotherapy spa. Bringing an American favorite to Mexico, Executive Chef Fabrice Guisset has created a Thanksgiving dinner that would have impressed the Pilgrims. Chef Guisset's Thanksgiving feast, including old-fashioned stuffed turkey, pumpkin gratin and poached pear with cranberry juice, adds the perfect touch of tradition to a holiday away from home. Also included in the package is an "Aqua Gym" class at the Thalasso Spa. This targeted workout in the special heated saltwater pool is sure to assuage "post-feast" guilt as the extra calories quickly burn away. In addition to the 4 nights accommodation, dinner, and Aqua Gym, the Thanksgiving package includes: roundtrip airport transfers, breakfast daily, welcome bottle of vintage tequila, handmade beach bag and Bulgari amenities. The Thanksgiving package costs $1565 (based on double occupancy) plus 12% government tax, 5% service charge, and 7.5% resort fee. Packages are subject to availability.
