Welcome to Madre Tierra Resort and Spa located in magical Vilcabamba, Ecuador. This award winning resort offers an exceptional combination of income with growth potential and lifestyle benefits. This hotel is profitable. Plenty of room for expansion – the resort is ready to be taken to the next level. Earning multiple Trip Advisor awards and consistently siting on top of the areas rankings, the business is substantially in the black with growing revenues, occupancy rates, and profits. This hotel has achieved profitability and earnings growth without any investment in marketing, and little to no attention paid to alcohol sales, restaurant receipts, spa revenue, and group/destination events. The opportunities for expanded and new streams of revenue are tremendous. The owners, who are looking to travel more and work less, made several decisions based on their wishes to reduce time spent managing the hotel. With that in mind, the two bars are not being used and the restaurant is closed to the public. With a marketing budget, opening the restaurant to the public, opening the bars, highlighting the spa, and a push towards group events such as conferences, weddings, retreats, and workshops, current revenue could easily be tripled. At just $900,000 this investment could pay for itself in just a few years – with an underlying asset that is worth at least half the price!
