PLYA, WH | April 15, 2024

Unveils plans to expand all-inclusive footprint with signing of new Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana

PARSIPPANY, N.J., April 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Guests looking for a low stress, family-friendly getaway can now book and enjoy an idyllic, all-inclusive escape at the newly opened Wyndham Alltra Samaná. Located in the charming town of Las Galeras in the Samaná province of the Dominican Republic, the hotel boasts ocean views, pristine white sands and endless, all-day entertainment for all ages.

Managed by Playa Hotels & Resorts, one of the world's leading all-inclusive operators, Wyndham Alltra Samaná marks Wyndham Alltra's first resort in Dominican Republic, where it is expected to be joined later this year by the newly signed Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana, also to be managed by Playa. The two resorts further bolster Wyndham's rapidly growing all-inclusive portfolio, which now spans about 40 resorts worldwide.

"The Dominican Republic has long been a coveted destination for travelers looking to relax amidst some of the most stunning beaches in the world. We take great pride in helping guests take in the beautiful surroundings and indulge in the all-inclusive experience, all without having to lift a finger. As we continue to add stunning resorts in the Dominican, Wyndham Alltra is the perfect brand to deliver on that promise."

- Fernando Mulet, Chief Investment Officer, Playa Hotels & Resorts
