Hyatt, Radisson, Best Western and Apple’s AMResorts all plan to open new properties in the near future. In most cases, owners will be Mexican investors working under management or franchise agreements. Apple Leisure, now partners with AMResorts, is talking about $2 billion being invested in a Secrets in Puerto Vallarta and another on the Caribbean at Akumal plus, also on the Caribbean, a Dreams at Playa Mujeres. Radisson is talking about a property in Leon, one more in Mexico City and another for Cancun. Hyatt hopes to make La Paz, capital of Baja California Sur, a rival to Los Cabos with 151 rooms at the Costa Baja complex. And Best Western has signed up 11 new members for its franchise operation.
