Melia Hotels International has held the grand opening of its new “resortainment” property in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
The new all-inclusive resort is called Falcon’s Resort by Melia All Suites Punta Cana, a 432-suite property that is the result of a rebranding of the former Paradisus Grand Cana.
A second phase, the rebranding of the former Garden Suites by Melia, will have 190 rooms and is slated to open later this year.
Guests at the new Falcon’s Resort are now able to access the new Katmandu Park, the first full-fledged theme park in the Caribbean. From now through March 15, guests at the Falcon’s Resort have exclusive sneak peak access to the park before it opens to the public.
“It is a sincere honor to welcome guests to the first Falcon’s Resort by Meliá property in beautiful Punta Cana,” said André Gerondeau, COO of Meliá Hotels International. “Meliá has deep roots in the Dominican Republic – with our first property opening in Punta Cana over 30 years ago. The development of Falcon’s Resort by Meliá will add a new level of casual, sophisticated, and unexpected fun to the traditional vacation experience.”
The units at the Falcon’s Resort range from 800 to 2,990 square feet, with large living areas and either garden or pool views.
Melia is also offering a “Beyond Suite Experience,” which includes “elevated” room and exclusive benefits, including a Beyond Concierge, priority reservations and multi-day passes to the Katmandu Park.
The resort is part of a $350 million entertainment destination called Falcon’s Beyond Destinations, one that will feature three different experiences: the resort, the theme park and a multi-use retail, dining and entertainment district called Falcon’s Central.
“We are thrilled to bring one-of-a-kind ‘resortainment’ experiences to the Caribbean with the opening of Falcon’s Resort by Meliá | All Suites Punta Cana and Katmandu Park | Punta Cana,” said Cecil D. Magpuri, CEO of Falcon’s Beyond. “Our distinctive big experience and small footprint theme park concept provides our guests with access to innovative ride technologies, immersive experiences and other day and night entertainment. This combination creates an extraordinary beach getaway with endless thrills and adventure for families, groups, couples and travelers of all ages.”
