Barcelo Launches Punta Cana Resort
The Former Super Club Breezes Punta Cana is Now a Barcelo Premium Level Resort
NOVEMBER 2, 2006. Barcelo Hotels & Resorts announces its newest addition to its collection of all-inclusive fine hotels and resorts in the Dominican Republic: The Barcelo Punta Cana Resort. The Premium Level resort was previously operated by Super Clubs as the Breezes Punta Cana. It includes 795 guestrooms and suites, as well as a casino, spa, convention facilities and a collection of seven restaurants. The resort will be upgraded with significant capital investment to insure the quality experience of a Barcelo Premium property.
"We welcome this beautiful property to the Barcelo portfolio in the Dominican Republic and we look forward to adding the Barcelo service standard to this first class resort," said Oscar Serrano, Contract Director for USA and Canada, Barcelo Hotels & Resorts. "This exceptional beachfront resort certainly complements our existing resort in Punta Cana, The Barcelo Bavaro Beach Resort, and will help us fill the growing demand for quality vacation experiences in the Punta Cana area," added Serrano.
The Barcelo Punta Cana Resort is a Premium Level Barcelo all-inclusive resort. The resort is located on an expansive 400 meter stretch of Arena Gorda Beach at Bavaro Beach in Punta Cana. This beach is famous for its white sand and crystal blue waters. The Barcelo Punta Cana Resort offers extensive water sports and recreation from kayaking, to windsurfing and scuba. The swimming pool is a great spot for relaxation or a game of water polo. There are also tennis courts, boche ball courts, and basketball courts.
The hotel's seven restaurants provide guests a large selection of dining from traditional Dominican cuisine, to French, Mexican, Italian and Japanese, as well as lavish buffets for casual dining. There is a casino, spa facilities, a beauty shop, gift shops, and a children's club complete with its own 'mini disco.' For adults, there are five lounges including a swim-up bar, and a disco that is open nightly, as well as entertainment.
The Barcelo Punta Cana Resort is easily accessible from the Punta Cana International airport and is only a 25 minute drive.
The Barcelo Punta Cana Resort is the eleventh Barcelo branded hotel in the Dominican Republic joining the five hotels at The Barcelo Bavaro Beach Resort: The Premium Barcelo Bavaro Palace Hotel; The Barcelo Bavaro Beach Hotel; The Barcelo Bavaro Caribe Hotel; The Barcelo Bavaro Golf Hotel; and The Barcelo Bavaro Casino Hotel.
