Cap Cana, DR.– Slated to open in early 2014, the new 201-room Hyatt Regency Cap Cana will be located on Juanillo Beach within the exclusive master planned resort community of Cap Cana, which currently includes a marina; the Punta Espada Golf Course, the first of three planned Jack Nicklaus signature golf courses, two beach clubs, and several single family and multi-family residential developments. 

In addition to the hotel, the project will also include 46 Hyatt Regency-branded residences and 12 villas.  Located within the Dominican Republic’s preeminent resort development, Hyatt Regency Cap Cana will boast more than 1,300 feet of white sand beachfront.

“The development of Hyatt Regency Cap Cana represents an outstanding opportunity to further Hyatt’s expansion in the Caribbean and on rapidly growing island of the Dominican Republic, which welcomed over 4 million visitors in 2010,” said Pat McCudden, senior vice president, real estate and development – Latin America, Caribbean, and Mexico for Hyatt Hotels & Resorts.

“Having a presence in Punta Cana will further Hyatt’s goal of becoming the most preferred brand in all the segments we serve by adding a hotel in this key resort destination where Hyatt is not currently represented.”

“We are thrilled to be involved in the introduction of the Hyatt Regency brand to the Dominican Republic,” said Jesus Barderas, President of Cobbo Bay Developers SA. “This introduction is a testament to the brand’s global appeal, and Hyatt’s well-established reputation as a preferred management company.”
