Río Grande, Puerto Rico – Gov. Fortuño and first lady Lucé Vela dedicated a new 5-star tourist destination, in Río Grande Thursday.
"I want to thank the St. Regis hotel chain for believing in Puerto Rico, continuing its tradition of going beyond expectations to show how Puerto Rico does it better. Today, Río Grande shows its natural beauty in a hotel complex of the highest quality in complete harmony with our environment," said the governor, adding that the resort is the first and only hotel in the Caribbean to receive the "Gold Signature Sanctuary," awarded by the prestigious environmental entity Audubon International.
This environmental and educational organization helps developers as well as hotel and golf course administrators produce sustainable projects, fostering environmental conservation.
The $172 million investment, financed by the Tourism Development Fund of the Government Development Bank and private funds, created 1,200 direct and indirect jobs during its construction phase and, later, 375 hotel jobs. St. Regis, an "estate" type hotel, has 139 luxury rooms and offers a wide variety of services.
The St. Regis Bahía Beach Resort in Puerto Rico, the 21st in the hotel chain, will have restaurants, meeting rooms, stores, a pool, bars, grill, spa, gym, 18-hole golf course, and two miles of beach, among other attractions.
"With the arrival of the St. Regis Bahía Beach Resort, we will be at the same level as other privileged tourism destinations which, apart from possessing unique attributes, offer the highest service standards. Luxury tourism is here to stay: welcome to Puerto Rico!" said Puerto Rico Tourism Company Executive Director Mario González.
Interlink Group President Federico J. Sánchez, who crafted the concept with Muñoz Holdings, said "the St. Regis brand has always been distinguished by its respectability and high standards."
General Manager David Kurland said the opening of the resort has been the most successful one so far. "As part of the [marketing] of this luxury destination, we have made an association with world renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten for developing our main restaurant, Ferm.
We will be offering other high category experiences such as the Reméde Spa and the challenging golf course designed by Trent Jones Jr.," said Kurland.
The governor said that "during the 22 months of our administration, key development projects to diversify our product have opened. Projects such as the Sheraton Convention Center, the W Retreat and Spa, the Condado Lagoon Villas and Mauna Caribe represent an investment of around $700 million, and 1,720 direct jobs for the hotel industry. The tourism industry is one of the most important international economic activities. Therefore, our public policy is to favor its rapid and vigorous growth."

TPC Sawgrass was born from the dream of then PGA TOUR Commissioner Deane Beman to create a special and unique host site for the players' own tournament. Known today as THE PLAYERS Championship, it was originally named The Tournament Players Championship. Prior to this unique concept, all PGA TOUR events were created and managed by local groups or golf organizations in communities around the country. Their main purpose was to promote their businesses or local area and often benefited local charities. The early predecessor to the PGA TOUR was first organized in 1938 to formalize this schedule of events, to provide improved opportunities for the professional golfer and to further advance the charitable contributions.
The PGA TOUR moved THE PLAYERS Championship from its usual March date to its present location in the schedule of May in 2007 in order to space out the majors and prevent Vlach and staff at TPC Sawgrass from needing to overseed. The schedule change coincided with the completion of a massive renovation project at TPC Sawgrass that brought Sub-Air Systems to each green, which were re-grassed with Mini-Verde bermudagrass, new drainage and irrigation system throughout the entire layout, and a new, gigantic clubhouse.
Master architect Pete Dye designed both golf courses, with THE PLAYERS Stadium Course being the most recognizable thanks to the intimidating par-3,17th hole that features the famed island green.
THE PLAYERS Stadium Course was built to challenge the pros like no other golf course had done before, while providing an unprecedented experience for spectators at the same time.
