My name is Derrick Pipkin, founder of Pips Entertainment Group, and I am reaching out to seek your assistance in finding small boutique resort properties for an exciting new venture.



Our concept involves managing and transforming underperforming or distressed resorts into premier destinations. We are looking for properties with ocean views, event spaces, grass areas, and small ballroom lobbies, ideally in locations such as Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, Belize, South America, or beach locales in France.



We have a proven track record spanning over 25 years, domestically and internationally, successfully buying out hotels with an average of 400 rooms for four-night stays. During this time, we managed and planned every detail of our clients’ events, from parties and concerts to celebrations and conferences, ensuring a seamless experience where clients only had to show up and enjoy.



My vision is to create a boutique resort that balances consistency and personalization. Weekends will follow a “Disneyland Concept,” where every Thursday through Sunday offers the same curated schedule of events, from themed parties to concerts and group activities. This streamlined approach makes it easy to train staff and ensures guests enjoy a high-quality experience every time.



For weekdays, the focus will shift to retreats offering spiritual, spa, yoga, wellness, detox, and meditation getaways. These offerings cater to a growing market of travelers seeking rest, rejuvenation, and personal growth. Together, this weekday-weekend strategy ensures the resort is consistently booked year-round.



To support this vision, we’ve developed a robust marketing strategy that leverages a carefully curated event calendar targeting the 52 weekends in a year. Events range from major holidays like New Year’s and Memorial Day to retreats, corporate bonding, family reunions, and niche groups such as golf and travel clubs. This proven formula has consistently created exceptional guest experiences while driving profitability for property owners.



We are confident that with the right property and our expertise, we can ensure a profitable partnership. Any contacts, resources, or direction you can provide to help identify suitable properties would be immensely appreciated.



Thank you for your time and consideration. I would love to discuss this further and share more about our vision. Please let me know if you’d like to schedule a call or meeting.



Warm regards,

Derrick Pipkin
