Hilton Cancun Golf & Spa Resort

Now, there is one more reason to visit Cancun! Check out the following press release about the World's largest underwater museum right here in Cancun!

"I am excited that this will become the beginning of the world's largest underwater museum. This is a unique opportunity to explore the boundaries of art and combine it with reef conservation" said Jason de Caires Taylor, British underwater sculptor of the unique sculptures.

The main piece will encompass between 300 and 400 lifelike figures based on actual living people. Once the first phase of the project is completed, other artists will be encouraged to submit their own sculptures and contribute to this unique museum.

The National Park's director, Jaime Gonzalez Cano, calculates that by April 2010 there will be approximately 250 sculptures in the underwater museum. "The underwater museum will draw many visitors, allowing us to give a rest to the natural reefs. It's like a restoration process" Gonzalez explained. Upon the opening of the museum, divers will be required to gain experience in artificial habitats and snorklers will continue to wear life jackets for buoyancy to prevent damaging the natural corals and the new artificial habitats.

Last Sunday our team members proudly participated in the "deafio por la vida" race here in Cancun against Cancer.

Tenemos la camiseta bien puesta, pero ahora es de color de rosa!!!

We would love to thank you all for coming out to our tweetup last Friday! Our General Manager Carlos Abaunza *who was looking in on the action* could not have said it better himself: ''Wow! If you are not here tonight, you are missing out on a GREAT party!''

Immediately following this blog post, we will be posting photos on Flickr and creating an album on our Facebook Fan page.

We will keep you all updated about the next upcoming tweetup here at the Hilton!

Antes que nada, quisiéramos agradecer a todos nuestros seguidores por todo el apoyo y retroalimentación que nos han brindado acerca de nuestro próximo evento. Estamos realmente emocionados en poder proveer un foro en donde todos los “tweeps” Cancunenses se puedan reunir y hablar de sus experiencias más memorables. Les informamos a todos nuestros invitados que enviaron a tiempo su forma de registro que podrán disfrutar de todos nuestros deliciosos bocadillos y refrescantes bebidas. Así mismo, contaran con descuentos especiales para cenar en nuestro exquisito restaurante Mitachi. A todos aquellos que no alcanzaron a mandar sus registros también podrán disfrutar de nuestros bocadillos, pero desafortunadamente no tendrán descuentos para cenar en el restaurante.
A continuación les detallamos un itinerario de las actividades que se llevaran a cabo este próximo viernes:

· Bienvenida con un “shot” de Margarita
· Lounge en la playa (Así que traigan sus sandalias)
· Área Especial para niños
· Descuentos en Cenas y Spa
· ‘Tasting’ de Alimentos y Bebidas
· promociones y regalos especiales para los Tweeps mas suertudos

También queremos aprovechar para agradecer a nuestro Mixologo Bernando. El gano el concurso de “Tweetini” gracias a todos sus votos y estará presente para preparar sus cócteles de bienvenida. Gracias a la excelente respuesta que hemos recibido, estamos considerando llevar a cabo otro Tweetup muy pronto. Estén pendientes para mayores detalles.

First of all, we would like to thank all of our followers for such support and positive feedback about the event. We are truly excited to provide a place where all of our Cancun related 'tweeps' can meet and have a memorable experience.
All of our attendees that sent in their RSVPs by the time announced on from our Twitter account will enjoy all our food and beverage perks, including the special discounts for dinner at our restaurant. Our other attendees will receive all other perks but will be unable to enjoy the restaurant discounts, unfortunately.
We would like to give you an idea of what to expect this coming Friday:

• Beachfront lounge environment (so wear your sandals!)
  
• Special area for kids
  
• Spa and dinner discounts
• Food and wine tasting
  
• Special spa giveaways for lucky tweeps
