Sol Meliá delays re-opening 5 hotels
Sol Meliá is keeping five of its eleven Mexico properties closed a little longer than first planned after damage caused by Hurricane Wilma, reports Bloomberg.
The Majorca-based company has closed three five-star hotels in Cancún and two resorts on Cozumel until as late as June. This means that more than half of Sol Meliá’s 3,499 hotel rooms in Mexico are currently shut.
The Meliá Turquesa, which has more than 400 rooms, is closed until June 30th, while the 800-room Gran Meliá Cancún is shut until March 31st.
There is as yet no re-opening date for the Sol Cabañas del Caribe located on Cozumel.
Sol Meliá expect insurers to cover the cost of patching up its hotels.
