Apple Leisure Group Grows Caribbean Portfolio with New Resort Deal in La Romana
Apple Leisure Group’s subsidiary, AMResorts®, announced the signing of the company’s sixth deal for 2014. Set to open in time for the summer travel season, the newly built Dreams® Dominicus La Romana further expands the footprint of one of the fastest growing luxury leisure travel companies in the Americas, which also reported 20 percent growth in 2014.
“Adding a new resort in the Dominican Republic is a testament to Apple Leisure Group’s strong performance record in the destination,” said Alejandro Zozaya, CEO of Apple Leisure Group. “Our longtime presence in the region, demand and owner confidence continue to fuel our growth and support our position as one of the leaders in the competitive all-inclusive industry.”
This is the 15th property for the award-winning Dreams Resorts & Spas brand. AMResorts will have eight properties in the Dominican Republic under five of its award-winning brands upon the resort’s opening. Santo Domingo-based Mirage Group are the promoters of the resort.
“The addition of a new resort in La Romana is a direct response to demand from travelers for premium, all-inclusive options in the Dominican Republic,” said Javier Coll, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of Apple Leisure Group. “The destination continues to be a priority for Apple Leisure Group, as we expand our presence in existing markets while seeking new areas for growth.”
