Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement that will see the former Margaritaville Island Reserve Cap Cana become a Dreams Resorts & Spas branded resort by year-end.
TravelPulse Canada visited the 519-room Margaritaville property last summer, so you can find out more about the physical layout of the resort here. Features of the property include 40 villas and 100 swim-up suites.
Located 15 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport, Dreams Cap Cana Resort & Spa will mark the seventh Dreams Resort & Spa in the Dominican Republic.
“The Dominican Republic is an integral part of Hyatt’s regional development strategy, and our thoughtful growth enables us to meet the evolving consumer demand for family-friendly, luxury, all-inclusive experiences on the island,” said Cristobal Enriquez, VP of business development, Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection.

“The forthcoming opening of Dreams Cap Cana Resort & Spa is a testament to growing our brand footprint in destinations that matter most to guests, customers, and World of Hyatt members. The resort will be ideally situated on the same stretch of beach as Secrets Cap Cana, Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana, and Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana, further solidifying Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection as the largest portfolio of all-inclusive luxury resorts.”
The exclusive gated community of Cap Cana is located on Juanillo Beach and home to one of the largest inland harbour marinas in Central and South America, two amusement parks, a state-of-the-art Los Establos Equestrian Center that houses stables, riding arenas, and polo fields, and an award-winning Punta Espada Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course.
At Dreams Cap Cana Resort & Spa, families and guests will experience an expansive array of amenities. Guests will enjoy delectable dining at ten à la carte restaurants, unlimited top-shelf spirits at six bars, 24-hour room and concierge services, daily activities, daytime and nightlife entertainment and an 11,000 sq. ft spa with 13 treatment rooms.
Kids can enjoy dedicated programs at the Explorer’s Club and Core Zone Teens Club while adults unwind at one of the resort’s four pools and lazy river, two pickleball courts, a tennis court and fitness centre. The resort also features a theatre and flexible meeting spaces.
Hyatt’s Dominican presence continues to expand. Recent 2024 openings include Hyatt Centric Santo Domingo and Secrets Tides Punta Cana, with nearly 20 hotels and resorts in the destination anticipated by the end of 2025.
