Hyatt to expand Inclusive Collection presence in the Caribbean

Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced a multi-property collaboration with Be Live Hotels that will include the growth of the Sunscape Resorts & Spas brand in the Caribbean. The deal is expected to expand Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection, which was introduced following the acquisition of Apple Leisure Group in 2021, by nearly 2,000 rooms.

Two Be Live Hotels properties in the Dominican Republic, owned by Spain’s Globalia, will be renovated and transformed into Sunscape Resorts & Spas. The renovated hotels are expected to open this 2023, strengthening the family-owned brand’s presence in the Caribbean.

“This expansion of the Sunscape Resorts & Spas brand in the Caribbean represents an opportunity to expand the all-inclusive family hotel offering in a very attractive market for travelers from around the world. We are seeing strong demand for the four-star product and are grateful for Globalia’s confidence in the future of these properties as part of our growing global portfolio of the Inclusive Collection brand,” said Javier Coll, president of Global Business Development and Innovation for Hyatt.

He added, “We believe this collaboration shows the combined strength and potential of Hyatt and Apple Leisure Group and how owners have the power to continue to own their assets while achieving success through our brands, distribution channels and global reputation.

Juan José Hidalgo, president of Globalia, said that “for Globalia, this moment with Hyatt represents another success in the strategy followed by the group to recover and strengthen our leadership position in the markets in which we are present, hand in hand with a company of recognized worldwide prestige in the hotel sector”.

“We are proud to walk alongside Hyatt in the development and growth of a differentiated proposal for the vacation model in the Sunscape Resorts & Spas brand, and we look forward to continuing to work together on future projects to redefine our sector,” he added.
