An affiliate of Hyatt Hotels Corp. has entered into a management agreement with Cobbo Bay Developers for a new Dreams Resorts & Spas-branded resort in the Dominican Republic by the end of the year. Dreams Cap Cana Resort & Spa will have 519 guestrooms, including 40 villas and 100 swim-up suites.
Located 15 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport, Dreams Cap Cana Resort & Spa will be part of the Cap Cana gated community on Juanillo Beach. The area has one of the largest inland harbor marinas in Central and South America; two amusement parks; the Los Establos Equestrian Center with stables, riding arenas and polo fields; and the Punta Espada Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course.
“The Dominican Republic is an integral part of Hyatt’s regional development strategy, and our thoughtful growth enables us to meet the evolving consumer demand for family-friendly, luxury, all-inclusive experiences on the island,” Cristobal Enriquez, vice president of business development for Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection, said in a statement. “The forthcoming opening of Dreams Cap Cana Resort & Spa is a testament to growing our brand footprint in destinations that matter most to guests, customers and World of Hyatt members. The resort will be ideally situated on the same stretch of beach as Secrets Cap Cana, Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana, and Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana, further solidifying Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection as the largest portfolio of all-inclusive luxury resorts.”
The resort will have 10 à la carte restaurants, six bars, four pools, a lazy river, two pickleball courts, a tennis court, a fitness center and a 11,000-square-foot spa with 13 treatment rooms. Younger guests can spend time in the Explorer’s Club and Core Zone Teens Club. The resort also has a theater and flexible meeting spaces.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection and transform this property into Dreams Cap Cana Resort & Spa,” said Harold Cuellar, executive vice president, Cobbo Bay Developers. “Cap Cana is a vibrant destination, and this beachfront investment reflects our shared confidence in the market’s ongoing growth.”
Dreams Cap Cana Resort & Spa joins nearby Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana, Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana and Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa. Recent 2024 openings in the Dominican Republic include Hyatt Centric Santo Domingo and Secrets Tides Punta Cana, with nearly 20 hotels and resorts in the destination anticipated by the end of 2025.
