Chapel Hill, NC (June 25, 2008) - Divi Resorts welcomes James W. Belmonte as the new Director of Sales, effective June 1, 2008. Belmonte will manage leisure, group, and incentive sales at Divi's nine premium resorts located on the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire, Barbados, St Maarten and St Croix.

Belmonte was most recently Dual Director of Sales and Marketing at Somerset Hills Hotel in Basking Ridge, New Jersey.

"James joins us at a very important time of rapid growth at Divi and we look forward to having someone with his expertise and experience," said E.J. Schanfarber, Divi Resorts president. "Divi Resorts is investing heavily in meeting the changing needs of our guests by expanding and upgrading facilities at all our locations. Undoubtedly, James will play a crucial role in our success."

Since 2006 Divi Resorts has invested over $115 million in the Caribbean region, including renovations to all resorts, and a major expansion on the island of Aruba. Divi is adding 140 luxury oceanfront suites to the Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach Resort by the end of 2008, and will complete construction of a final phase of 52 golf-side suites at the Divi Village Golf & Beach Resort. Divi's entrée into full ownership condominiums - the Residences at the Divi Village Golf & Beach Resort- is set to open in spring of 2009.

Already classed as the premium destination name exclusively devoted to the Caribbean, renovations at other locations include new suites, restaurants, spas and amenities. Once all is completed, the changes will evolve the Divi collection of resorts to provide an even higher quality Caribbean vacation experience.
