$200 Resort Credit Allows for More Indulgences
in Sensory-based Offerings from New Lifestyle Hotel

         CANCUN, Mexico (November 4, 2008) – Fully accustomed to interested glances and even spellbound stares, this ultra-trendy lifestyle hotel, the first of its kind by leading Latin American hotelier Grupo Posadas, is ready to step into the limelight once again, this time offering a $200 resort credit with any three-night minimum stay, for travel now through May 31, 2009, if booked by February 15, 2009. 

          “AQUA Cancun embodies style without inhibition,” said Liliana Franco, marketing director of the hotel division of Grupo Posadas.  “Thanks to this new promotion, coupled with the recently increased strength of the U.S. dollar against the Mexican peso, our guests can fully indulge in all the seductive offerings that only AQUA can provide.”
