## Story

Two Be Live Hotels properties in the Dominican Republic, owned by Spanish hospitality company Globalia, will be renovated and transformed into Sunscape Resorts & Spas. The renovated hotels are expected to open in 2023, bolstering the family-friendly brand’s presence in the Caribbean.

“This planned expansion of the Sunscape Resorts & Spas brand in the Caribbean marks an opportunity to broaden all-inclusive family-friendly offerings in a desirable market for global travelers,” said Javier Coll, group president, global business development & innovation, Inclusive Collection, Hyatt. “We believe this collaboration showcases the combined strength and potential of Hyatt and Apple Leisure Group and how owners are empowered to remain vested in their assets while achieving success through our brands, distribution channels and global reputation.”

“For Globalia, this moment with Hyatt represents another success in the strategy followed by the group to recover and strengthen our leadership position in the markets where we are present together with a company that is a world renowned in the hospitality industry," said Juan José Hidalgo, President of Globalia. "We are proud to walk together with Hyatt in the development and growth of a differentiated proposal for the vacation model in the Sunscape Resorts & Spas brand, and we hope to continue working together on future projects to redefine our sector."

Sunscape Resorts & Spas take family fun to the next level in vibrant, colourful beachfront locations where guests can appreciate activities the entire family can do together. Children 12 years of age and under can play the day away at the supervised Explorer’s Club for kids while teens have their own space at the Core Zone. The Unlimited-Fun experience promises best-in-class service, gourmet a la carte restaurants with kid-friendly options and delectable drinks and endless day and nighttime activities for the entire family.

Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection redefines and elevates the all-inclusive experience with enhanced amenities, endless hospitality and thoughtful touches that exceed expectations.
