Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced a multi-property collaboration with Be Live Hotels that will include the growth of the Sunscape Resorts & Spas brand in the Caribbean.

The deal is expected to expand Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection, introduced following Hyatt’s acquisition of Apple Leisure Group in 2021, by nearly 2,000 rooms.

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 reopen 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 travellers,” said Javier Coll, Hyatt Inclusive Collection group president, global business development & innovation.

“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.”

Sunscape Resorts & Spas aims at the family market with colourful beachfront locations. 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 Sunscape ‘Unlimited-Fun’ experience promises best-in-class service, gourmet a la carte restaurants with kid-friendly options and endless day and nighttime activities for the entire family.

Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection features brands Hyatt Ziva, Hyatt Zilara, Zoëtry Wellness & Spa Resorts, Secrets Resorts & Spas, Breathless Resorts & Spas, Dreams Resorts & Spas, Hyatt Vivid Hotels & Resorts, Alua Hotels & Resorts and Sunscape Resorts & Spas.
