[edit] History
The Matutes family created the Fiesta Hotel Group in the 1960s with two hotels in Ibiza, Spain. Throughout the 1970s the chain expanded, adding more hotels in Ibiza, as well as in Minorca, Spain and Mallorca, Spain. In the 1980s the chain expanded to the Canary Islands. During the 1990s they focused on the Caribbean, and opened several resorts in the area while also strengthening their presence in Spain. The 2000s have also been a period of strong expansion, as the Fiesta Hotel Group opened several resorts in Mexico and has several projects in the works. In 2008, the Fiesta Hotel Group welcomed a new CEO of the company, Abel Matutes Prats, who has implemented an ambitious strategic plan that expects to grow the group's brands in some of the world's most sought after destinations.
