MIAMI, Sept. 1, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Interval International, a leading
global provider of vacation services and an operating segment of Interval
Leisure Group (Nasdaq:IILG), has added Villa del Palmar Cancun Luxury Beach

its visitors another wonderful vacation experience from which to explore Cancun
and the nearby Isla Mujeres."
Currently under construction, the property will be situated on 35 acres along
Mujeres Bay, opposite Isla Mujeres, and a 15-minute drive from downtown Cancun.
The first phase is slated to open in 2010 and two additional phases are expected
to be completed by 2012. Each villa will be elegantly decorated and include a
living room, dining room, full kitchen with granite countertops, modern
appliances and electronic equipment, and a spacious terrace.
"Opening this luxury resort in Cancun will continue our tradition of developing
family-style accommodations with personalized service in Mexico's key vacation
destinations," said Fernando Gonzalez Corona, The Villa Group president. "Our
affiliation with Interval provides Villa owners with an excellent selection of
resort properties and quality vacation accommodations comparable to that of
their home resorts."

swimming pool and poolside bar, restaurants, a beauty salon, a fitness center, a
business center, and meeting rooms. Scuba diving, fishing, golf, shopping, and
dining are all nearby, as are ferries to Isla Mujeres and the Cancun hotel zone.
