Mexico news and notes

Los Cabos popularity grows!

Tourists visited Los Cabos at a record pace last year according to the Los Cabos Tourist Board. A total of 1.3 million visitors arrived at Los Cabos airport aboard a record 20,898 flights. For the whole year, the average occupancy rate at Los Cabos hotels was 70% even though a number of new hotels increased the number of available rooms. The average cost of a Los Cabos hotel room was $201 per night.

The Barcelo Premium La Jolla de Mismaloya Hotel in Puerto Vallarta is in the midst of a multimillion dollar phased upgrade. The most recent phase was a beach restoration project that added 50 feet of beachfront. This is a five star, all inclusive suite resort. All suites have private terraces overlooking Mismaloya Bay. The resort offers sixteen "presidential suites" which feature two bedrooms, a living room with adjacent dining area, two baths and the terrace is larger.

Mazatlan becomes the eighth Mexican destination serviced by Frontier Airlines. Thrice weekly service from Dallas Fort Worth begins June 7th aboard a spacious and comfortable Airbus A319.
