Hard Rock International and Palace Resorts said it has agreed to bring the world's first “ultimate all-inclusive” Hard Rock Hotel & Casino to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
Slated to be re-branded in spring 2010, the 1,800-room Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana will combine the atmosphere and guest experience of the Hard Rock brand together with the five-star Moon Palace Resort all-inclusive experience.
Hard Rock Punta Cana’s 121-acre property is located on Macao Beach, one of the most beautiful in the Caribbean overlooking the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic. The property will combine Hard Rock's signature “Rock Star” suites with Moon Palace Resort's all-inclusive luxury accommodations, including double Jacuzzis and double showers. The property also will feature an extensive collection of Hard Rock's authentic music memorabilia, highlighting both international and local artists, as well as incorporating diverse music genres throughout.
“We're eager to bring the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino brand to the Dominican Republic, and we look forward to establishing this property as a premier vacation and gaming destination in the Caribbean,” said Hamish Dodds, president and CEO of Hard Rock International. “Our collaboration with Palace Resorts and their track record of creating the best all-inclusive resorts in the Americas, we are confident this project will be a success.”
“We are very excited to develop the new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana,” said Roberto Chapur, president of Palace Resorts, owners of Moon Palace. “Hard Rock has brought excitement to many destinations throughout the world and we are thrilled that the brand has chosen the Dominican Republic for its next project. We look forward to working with Hard Rock to create the most exciting hotel and casino concept in the Caribbean.”
Hard Rock Punta Cana will feature one of the largest casinos in the Caribbean with more than 48,000 square feet of gaming space. The casino plans to offer a high-limit poker room, a VIP lounge and a Race and Sports Book, in addition to 457 slots and 40 tables, where guests can try their hand at traditional Las Vegas-style gaming, including Baccarat, Black Jack, Craps and Roulette.
The property will be fully equipped to handle the largest events, from full-sized rock ‘n’ roll performances, to small groups. Hard Rock Punta Cana will feature more than 65,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space, equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Guests will be able to enjoy 11 expansive pools, four swim-up bars, a dedicated kids' pool and a lazy river. The resort also will feature a 15,000 square-foot Body Rock fitness center, the Xtreme Center's rock climbing wall, two tennis courts, mini-golf, billiards and ping pong. A dedicated Kids Club will offer daily activities and childcare services. Hard Rock Punta Cana's guests will have access to an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course.
Retail outlets, including Hard Rock's signature Rock Shop, a 1,200-seat amphitheater and the Caribbean's most expansive spa, will also be featured.
