    Speak for yourself - some of us were actually old enough to remember that far back but good luck keeping up with us.

    That's an easy answer - just one(family) - below is an excerpt(originaly in Spanish but translated to English) of an interview with the de la Peña family about their businesses.

    I spoke with the older lady in the jewelry store in the hotel, and she said she has pretty much been there since it opened. Very nice lady.

    I wonder in what year did they decided to create the Adult Sexy concept of the hotel. I know Blue Bay already had it but did it started there or even before (while it was Playa Blanca)?

    Well, if you had taken the "tour" after arriving, you would know the answer to that question. :). LOL

    on the timeshare tour, they actually take few moments to explain that it is still owned by the original family.
