Hyatt Hotels Corp. has opened the Dreams Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa, a 500-room all-inclusive property in Miches on the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic.
The resort is part of Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection and expands the Dreams Resorts & Spas brand in the Caribbean. The new property has multiple pools, a waterpark, 10 restaurants and seven bars. There is also an adjacent adults-only Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa, which shares a central Public Square for dining and entertainment with the newly opened Dreams resort.
Located in a less developed region, the resort is close to natural attractions such as Montaña Redonda, Los Haitises National Park and Samaná Bay. As part of Hyatt’s World of Care platform, the property has partnered with local group Promiches to protect sea turtle nesting areas along its beachfront. The resort also includes over 15,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space designed for weddings and group gatherings.
