PUERTO MORELOS, RIVIERA MAYA, March 29, 2006 -- The Kor Hotel Group has announced plans to purchase the Ikal del Mar Resort, located in Xcalacoco, in the heart of the Riviera Maya and 10 miles north of Playa del Carmen. Based in Los Angeles, Kor recently announced the development of The Tides resort in Playa del Carmen.
"The Ikal del Mar resort will allow us to enhance our presence on Mexico's quickly-developing Mayan Riviera, an area characterized by increasingly high-end U.S. and foreign travel," said Brad Korzen, CEO of Kor Hotel Group. "The resort's close proximity to our upcoming Tides Playa del Carmen and Viceroy Riviera Maya Resort and Residence emphasizes even further the extent of our involvement in the region."
Translating into “Poetry of the Sea,” Ikal del Mar is one of the more likely places to spot a vacationing celebrity or business tycoon. Far from pretentious, though, the resort strives to harmonize with nature rather than completely shut it out. The hotel prides itself on the fact that no trees were cut down during construction. At night, tiki torches line the paths from the rooms to the restaurant and along the beachfront. Though the service, amenities, and price clearly place it in the luxury category, there are no marble bathrooms or video check-in kiosks. Here luxury is defined by the privileged setting, simple indulgences, and personal service.
