ANDAZ MAYAKOBA RESORT RIVIERA MAYA To help keep guests engaged during these difficult times, Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya in Riviera Maya, Mexico has launched a series of videos, as well as with streaming social media content, to bring a taste of the resort experience into homes. The videos include cooking demos from the resort’s Executive Chef Miguel Gomez, yoga and meditation lessons streamed on Instagram Live, a video on how to make your home feel like a five-star hotel, the resort’s resident artist Senkoe painting chairs to showcase how household items can be made into art, and more. They have also made available a series of recipes that are easy to make at home including both Mexican dishes and cocktails. “While we know our guests can’t be with us right now, we want to make sure they can still have a taste of the resort experience at home,” said General Manager Pascal Dupuis. “From cooking videos highlighting healthy and authentic Mexican recipes and live streaming yoga classes, to a video from our resident artist Senkoe creating his vibrant graffiti art to spark artistic inspiration and even demos on how to make your home feel like a five-star hotel, distance can’t keep us from connecting with our guests. We hope that by recreating our resort experiences, our past and future guests can enhance the quality of their time at home and we can continue to inspire them until they are able to visit us in person.” MONTAGE CARES CERTIFICATES In an effort to support their associates, many of whom are unable to work due to the temporary closure of properties, Montage has created a Montage Cares Certificate Program where 100% of the proceeds raised from the certificates will be contributed to their Hearts of Montage Relief Fund. Not only would the certificates allow purchasers to enjoy Montage properties at an unprecedented value, but they will also provide relief to the associates who have been so impacted by COVID-19, along with internal programs Montage has implemented.
