Playa Hotels & Resorts has added a new dining concept to Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana, raising the bar on food and beverage experiences. Designed as a seductive, multisensory experience, The Blind Butcher is the world’s first speakeasy located at an all-inclusive resort.

Hidden behind the facade of a 1950s butcher shop, the venue offers a blend of exquisite dining and exhilarating entertainment, catering to both the travelers’ taste buds and their sense of adventure. For Playa’s Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer Fernando Mulet, the key to Playa’s culinary success is in their relentless pursuit for culinary excellence, combined with a seductive element of surprise.

“The all-inclusive traveler is a unique one: They come to the destination with only one objective, and that is to enjoy each moment to the fullest, no holds barred, and that includes whatever they eat, and whatever they drink.” 

The traveler’s desire to enjoy each moment to the fullest takes center stage in Playa’s latest venture, The Blind Butcher at Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana. A testament to its commitment to redefining the luxury all-inclusive experience, this a la carte dining experience is open to the public as well as to hotel guests outside of the all-inclusive hotel package.

Its design exudes meticulous attention to detail, from the intricate patterns of the bar echoing vintage English French eateries to the carefully curated lighting casting a warm, inviting glow. Entertainment is enjoyed tableside and equipped with topnotch technology for live entertainment, making it a highly desired add-on for Hyatt’s upscale guests.

For Mulet, “The Blind Butcher is a testament to the relentless pursuit to consistently elevate the offerings and provide a unique and unparalleled experience to Playa’s guests.”

“Years ago, a hotelier might have feared a culinary-minded guest, but we welcome them and are prepared to please. Instead of an abundant but bland buffet, we understand the all-inclusive guest wants to try out new gourmet expressions. They want to explore quality rather than quantity, succulent taste rather than tried and true temptations – and that includes experiencing things that are outside of the already ample all-inclusive offering.

Each day we see where our guests’ ambitious tastebuds want to go, and we work on surpassing those expectations with each new dining concept,” said Mulet.
