Both services will be operated using 150-seat Airbus A320 aircraft.
The 35,200 square meter (378,890 square feet) residential marina project being developed within Cap Cana by Grupo Velutini is to be built in four phases at an estimated total construction cost of approximately US$110 million. The luxury residential community will consist of approximately 300 units, including large waterfront residences and two, three and four-bedroom villas, townhomes and condominiums. In addition, the development will feature approximately 70 private docks for boats and yachts from which sport fishermen have ready access to world-class fishing. Full-scale construction of the first phase of the project, which includes land-leveling work and the building of 11 large, stately waterfront residences and 11 luxury villas, in addition to the development’s basic infrastructure, has already commenced and is expected to be completed in 2011.
“We are very pleased to be associated with Grupo Velutini as we continue to further our efforts of developing our property,” said Ricardo Hazoury. “Cap Cana is synonymous with the finest in world-class hospitality experience, and we are certain that this new real estate development will only enhance that reputation. This announcement serves to strengthen our ongoing efforts of enhancing the overall value of the project by attracting well-respected private developers that bring their own development capabilities, sales distribution networks and capital.”
Puerto Marina at Cap Cana represents the newest addition to Grupo Velutini’s portfolio of master planned community and commercial developments in the Caribbean and Latin America and the luxury project will serve to expand on Cap Cana’s vision of providing real estate products that would appeal to the upper end residential and tourism markets.
“We are very excited to announce the commencement of construction for the first phase of this landmark property. Our announcement is a clear indication of our commitment and confidence in the success of this project,” said Luis Emilio Velutini. “It is the first of its kind within the Cap Cana property and will serve as a building block for other future real estate investment projects within the Dominican Republic.”
Grupo Velutini has appointed Infinity Developers, S.A., a Dominican-based engineering and construction firm, as the main contractor, and Mexican-based GVA & Asociados to carry out the architectural design of the first phase of the project.

You’ve scrolled through page upon page of hotel listings and now believe every property has the same name and the same inclusions, and you’re completely confused by the offerings.
As you click on yet another results page, you step back and ask, “Do any of these offer the best value for our money and could we be getting more for our vacation dollar?”
If this sounds familiar, stop your endless online searching and focus your efforts to one hotel chain in particular: Bahia Principe Clubs and Resorts.
Located in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica, Bahia Principe Clubs and Resorts go hand-in-hand with vacations, value and variety. Offering outstanding properties spread over the most attractive tropical destinations, guests of Bahia Principe will experience first-rate quality and service. Choosing a Bahia as your vacation haven will treat you to:
An exclusive beachfront location that has been completely integrated into the spectacular natural surroundings
A room in a quaint, two- or three-storey building
A wide range of activities and facilities
A 24-hour-a-day all-inclusive system
Located in the exotic Riviera Maya, the Gran Bahia Principe Riviera Maya is the ideal prize for the traveller looking for the perfect balance of on-site activities and off-site excursions.
This sprawling vacation complex enjoys a beachfront location near the magnificent Mayan ruins of Tulum (the only oceanfront ruins in Mexico that are open to the public), a fantastic starting point for both land and water adventures.
Xel-Ha is close by, ideal for snorkellers of all levels and offering an interactive Dolphin Experience where you will be able to see these creatures first-hand in a specially designed natural aquarium. For those who prefer dry adventures, there are many opportunities for zip-lining in Mexico’s lush jungle nearby.
Renowned for its commitment to attentive service, the Bahia stands out for its ability to adapt to the wants and needs of all types of guests, from families and groups to wedding parties, honeymoons and more. And at more than 2,500 rooms, the Gran Bahia Principe Riviera Maya is a sprawling vacation oasis. (Don’t let the room count scare you — the resort is actually three sections combined, named Coba, Tulum and Akumal.)
Combined among the three resorts is a myriad of options, where your biggest worry will be which of the seven mega-sized pools you should lounge at each day. Beyond the pools you will find two pool-side Jacuzzis, a fitness centre, spa and beauty salon (charges do apply and reservations are required), five tennis courts, and a watersports centre equipped with catamarans, windsurfers, boogie boards, kayaks and snorkel and dive equipment.
If this doesn’t sound like enough to keep you amused for a week, there’s also table tennis, volleyball, soccer, a nearby 18-hole golf course, twice-weekly shuttle to Playa Del Carmen and an animation team that organizes games and activities from sunup to sundown.
With 15 restaurants to choose from, dining is anything but boring at the Bahia complex. You will be to select from a range of cuisines including Gourmet International, Seafood, Italian, Japanese, Mediterranean, Mexican and Brazilian. Of course, there’s also buffet style for those who can’t decide on just one type of culinary delight.
Evenings are just as busy as the days at the Gran Bahia Principe Riviera Maya, which offers a total of 22 bars plus an on-site disco and live shows every night.
When you do finally tire of the endless activities, bars and restaurants, a spacious and comfortable room awaits you. No matter what section of the resort your stay is in, your room will offer air-conditioning, mini-bar, TV, in-room safe (charge may apply) and a private balcony or terrace to unwind on.
In addition to a beachfront location, spacious accommodations and all-inclusive meal and activities plan, your vacation prize includes round-trip airfare from Winnipeg Airport to Cancun International Airport and transfers to and from the resort.
Punta Cana.– Cap Cana and AM Resorts, an award-winning provider of resort sales, marketing and brand management services, today announced the opening of the Golden Bear Lodge & Spa at Cap Cana.
The announcement represents the latest milestone in Cap Cana’s present growth strategy of entering into and maintaining arrangements with leading luxury hotel operators, experienced private developers and world-renowned strategic business partners.
“We are excited to announce the formal opening of the first Nicklaus-brand Golden Bear Lodge, and welcome the addition of AM Resorts to our growing list of best-of-breed resort industry operators,” said Ricardo Hazoury, Cap Cana’s Chairman and President.
The Jack Nicklaus inspired 126-suite golf resort is AM Resorts’ first property under its new Zoetry Collection of resorts and is part of its exclusive Preferred Boutique and Preferred Golf groups. A personal haven for golf enthusiasts, guests of the Golden Bear Lodge & Spa will soon be able to choose between two Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses –the world-ranked Punta Espada Golf Course, host of a popular stop on the PGA TOUR’s Champions Tour, or Las Iguanas, currently under construction.
“As our first property in The Zoetry Collection, we are excited to demonstrate the exceptional quality standards that will define the Golden Bear Lodge & Spa, from spectacular accommodations and fine dining, to devoted personal service and play at world-renowned golf courses such as Punta Espada,” said Alex Zozaya, CEO and President of AM Resorts.
Punta Cana.– Regarded as one of the most important sporting events in the Dominican Republic in the last few years, PGA Tour Champions Tour, the Cap Cana Championship will hold its third edition from 22-28 March next year.
Some of the best golfers from all over the world will play at the Punta Espada Golf Course, the top rated Jack Nicklaus signature course.
Last year Keith Fergus won the Cap Cana PGA Tour Champions.
A way to keep everyone happy and still come out a hero is to choose a hotel with an extremely lavish pool; one that mimics something from Indiana Jones; with multiple tiers and palm trees covering the sky, branches fluttering with the breeze. The pools of Punta Cana truly leave nothing to be desired, so that’s why winnowing the best from the rest may seem like just the solution to keeping your kids at bay and smiles on their faces.
The pool at Paradisus Puna Cana is not really a pool; more of a secret lagoon buried in a jungle, which just so happens to be buried in a sprawling luxury resort.
It features a blanket of blue shimmering water interrupted only by large rock clusters, fountains, and swim-up tiki-bars. Lounge beneath thick fans of Dominican jungle flora and unwind to the soothing tune of rushing water and Punta Cana’s wildlife.
The pool at Club Med is seemingly larger than Paradisus’, and much more oblong, snaking alongside bushels of Palm and huts of thatched roofing.
We came to the conclusion that, although an otherwise dazzling presentation, the pool at Club Med is certainly geared more towards children as its depth is, for the most part, shallow and its location, not as secluded.
A TripAdvisor.com consensus named Iberostar Bavaro a top budget hotel in Punta Cana; no wonder, then, that their pool is epic in size, with only a prominent bouquet of trees and foliage at its center.
Similar to Paradisus Punta Cana, the pool of Iberostar Bavaro is portal to a tropical oasis, teeming with lush vegetation; developing into a setting perfect for lounging under the shade or basking in the sun.
These three pools are products not of trendno gimmicks to mindlessly entertain herebut instead, blend leafy jungle aesthetics into warm, tranquil waters. If not to keep the kids entertained, these pools will have you out of the room and in the sun all day, as they did us.
