Barcelo Hotels & Resorts held an agents appreciation night in Toronto Tuesday, with Rick McCauley, the company’s senior director of sales & marketing for Canada, saying those who stay in its Western Hemisphere resorts will find beaches are very close by. “When we say beachfront location, we mean beachfront location.” Among its properties is the Barcelo Solymar Arenas Blancas Resort in Varadero, which McCauley said is on “the best part of the beach in Varadero.” Seen here (l-r) are McCauley, Brenda McInerney of Transat Tours Canada and Josep Brichs Sala, Barcelo’s corporate commercial director for Latin America.
