In the latter destination its presence will initially take the form of a luxury ship-hotel which will sail the waters of the Amazon and Negro rivers. At the end of the year 2005, the hotel chain will have 92 hotels available for guests, with over 61,600 beds. Iberostar is already preparing new complexes in Salvador de Bahia (Brazil), Montego Bay (Jamaica) and Cuba for the year 2006.

Since its origins in 1983, the hotel division of Grupo Iberostar has been characterised by offering top-level tourist accommodation services in the world’s main tourist destinations. Its image is a symbol of quality, as 80 percent of the chain’s establishments have four or five stars.

All Iberostar hotels offer their guests preferential treatment, as well as personalised attention in everything right down to the smallest of details, and superb value for money.
