Both Travel Agents & Modern Bride Magazine Agree that Palace Resorts is Their Favorite All-Inclusive Chain in Mexico and the Caribbean

Miami, Florida, January 24, 2006 – Palace Resorts, the company that set the standard in five-star, all-inclusive resort accommodations, has received recent honors from both the travel agent community, courtesy of Recommend Magazine, and Modern Bride Magazine.  In the “Ninth Annual Readers’ Choice Awards,” which appeared in the December 2005 issue of the travel trade publication, Recommend, Palace Resorts was voted the “Best Resort/Hotel Chain – All-Inclusive.”  The company was also voted the Number Two “Favorite All-Inclusive Brand” in the September 2005 issue of the popular bridal publication, Modern Bride Magazine.        

“It is a great honor and very exciting,” said Maira Briceno, Director of Marketing for Palace Resorts.  “We have worked very hard and it has paid off.” 

According to Recommend, the company’s loyalty to agents and money-saving programs were key to why Palace Resorts received top billing in one of the “Reader’s Choice” most coveted awards.  The company’s “Travel Agent Bonus Commission,” which encourages travel agents to book as many reservations as possible at any of the Palace Resorts in Cancun, Riviera Maya, Cozumel and Nuevo Vallarta in exchange for generous bonus commissions, as well as their popular “Palace Passport” and “Free Weddings” offers were noted in particular. 

“This award is significant because travel agents play a critical role in the counseling and selling of our product,” said Briceno. “Through this honor, they have recognized our commitment to excellence, which is a huge compliment.”

For their annual “World’s 50 Best Honeymoons” feature, Modern Bride Magazine selected a panel of experts, virtuoso travel specialists located all around the country, who also voted on the top hotel/resort brands for honeymooners.  Palace placed second in the “Favorite All-Inclusive Brands” category, edging out other popular chains in the Caribbean.
“Honeymooners are a very important market for us,” said Briceno.  “Receiving this honor by such a prestigious bridal publication will only further enhance our reputation with this key audience.”
