AMResorts Invests $200 Million in Two Brand New Resorts Opening in 2010

PHILADELPHIA, PA (February 24, 2009) – AMResorts, award-winning provider of resort sales, marketing and brand management services, today announced plans to develop two new elite resorts at Cap Cana, one of the world's most exclusive tourist destinations with lavish amenities and breathtaking vistas at every turn. Zoëtry Pearl Sands Cap Cana and Pure Secrets at Cap Cana will be situated in a premium location on Cap Cana’s most pristine beach and are slated to open in late 2010.

The announcement was made by Alex Zozaya, AMResorts’ CEO and president, and follows his recent meeting with Dr. Ricardo Hazoury, President of Cap Cana’s Board of Directors, to confirm in writing the details of their development agreement.

According to Zozaya, “AMResorts is extremely pleased to join the outstanding tourism and residential offerings currently at Cap Cana, and we look forward to developing two truly exceptional resorts that integrate perfectly with Cap Cana’s natural beauty and ecological focus.”

“We are delighted to welcome AMResorts and the Zoëtry and Pure Secrets brands to Cap Cana, said Dr. Hazoury. “The planned attributes of these properties are extraordinary and enticing — complemented by an extensive array of personalized services for every guest; they will surely appeal to the refined travelers and residents attracted to Cap Cana.

Zoëtry Pearl Sands Cap Cana becomes the second in a newly-launched brand of high-end lifestyle resorts, Zoëtry Wellness & Spa Resorts. At Zoëtry, every guest is treated to consummate luxury and an unparalleled vacation experience through access to exquisite accommodations, gourmet dining and entertainment options and a wealth of unique features designed to enhance their emotional and physical well-being.

Pure Secrets at Cap Cana will be an exclusive sub-branded resort of Secrets Resorts & Spas, the luxury resort chain serving adults and couples in romantic and tropical settings. Pure Secrets will feature elegant rooms and suites with dedicated concierge services. Resort guests and Cap Cana visitors alike can indulge at any of Pure Secrets’ multiple gourmet restaurants, enjoy the resort’s upscale entertainment options, and be pampered at the Spa.

“With some of the Caribbean’s finest beaches, a special area devoted to ecological preservation, multitude of golf courses, spectacular marina and other recreational opportunities, we expect the new Zoëtry and Pure Secrets resorts to attract affluent and sophisticated U.S. travelers seeking a rewarding and holistic vacation experience,” said Zozaya.  

Both resorts will be located on what is considered one of the Dominican Republic’s most scenic beaches, just moments from the Punta Cana International Airport. In addition to offering the utmost comfort in luxurious and spacious accommodations, guests have a plethora of activities and scenic wonders just outside their door. Cap Cana is home to the soon-to-be largest in-land mega yacht marina in the Caribbean, three* Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses and spectacular beaches.
