Hyatt Signs on for New Dreams Property in the Dominican Republic

Hyatt has announced a new signing that will expand its all-inclusive portfolio in the Dominican Republic with the introduction of Dreams Cap Cana Resort & Spa. 

This will mark the seventh Dreams Resort & Spa-branded resort in the country. Hyatt has entered into a management agreement with Cobbo Bay Developers SA to transform the Margaritaville property starting Nov. 27 and offer the full Dreams experience by the end of the year. 

“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,” said Cristobal Enriquez, vice president of business development for Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection. “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. 

In a notice on its website, Margaritaville wrote: 

“Margaritaville is growing and changing all the time. While we continue to celebrate new locations, we may also see a property change coordinates. Margaritaville Island Reserve Resort Cap Cana will no longer be part of the Margaritaville portfolio as of November 27, 2024.” 

Dreams Cap Cana Resort & Spa will feature 519 guestrooms, including 40 villas and 100 swim-up suites, ten à la carte restaurants, six bars, and daily activities and entertainment. It will also have an 11,000 sq. ft spa with 13 treatment rooms. 

Younger guests will have access to the Explorer’s Club and Core Zone Teens Club. There will also be four pools, a lazy river, two pickleball courts, a tennis court, a fitness center, and flexible meeting space including a theater. 

The resort is located on the same stretch of beach as Hyatt’s Zilara Cap Cana, Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana, and Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa.  

Hyatt’s other 2024 Dominican Republic openings included Hyatt Centric Santo Domingo and Secrets Tides Punta Cana. The hotel giant plans to add up to 20 more hotels in the Caribbean country by the end of 2025.
