Vines The Secret

Secrets The Vine Cancun Resort & Spa in Cancun is an elegant holiday destination serving adults only. Situated in a beach area destroyed by a hurricane in 2005, the hotel was rebuilt to be hurricane-resistant, requiring 5-6 mm thick glass with lamination and double glazing. Rockwell Group designed intricate printed effects for several exterior and interior glass walls and features. Originally, screen printing was used, but it was quickly found to be inadequate.

The main façade, restaurant, and spa were printed in a subtle grayscale with Vibrantz's Spectrum Inks. In the guest room bathrooms, the bath and shower walls were also printed in grayscale, using unique Vibrantz Etch Ink, which creates the privacy effects of etched grass with more subtlety and a cleaner and safer process.
