By late 2025, The Placencia Resort is expected to offer 90
reimagined guestrooms, suites and beachfront villas following a $10
million dollar renovation including an enhanced arrival experience
with playfully refined public areas. Shortly after, guests can
expect a new dynamic three-meal restaurant, indoor/outdoor event
space perfect for social gatherings, an overwater signature
restaurant and bar, and a refreshed pool and pool bar
experience.
“We’re excited to welcome guests to a new destination within the
Hyatt portfolio and allow them to explore the breadth and beauty of
Belize and what The Placencia Resort has to offer,” said David
Kuperberg, head of development, Dream Hotels, Hyatt. “These plans
for the first Hyatt-branded hotel in Belize reinforces our
thoughtful brand growth in Latin America and the Caribbean, and we
remain dedicated to meeting our guests where they want to be. We’re
thankful to have worked alongside Maya Rio Development on this
transition and look forward to bringing the Destination by Hyatt
brand to Belize in late 2025.”
"The Placencia Resort's collaboration with Hyatt will allow us
to offer our guests an unparalleled opportunity to immerse
themselves in the rich culture and history of Belize," said Dyke
Rogers, co-owner of Maya Rio Development." We are thrilled to join
the Destination by Hyatt portfolio next year, further enhancing our
guests' experiences with access to World of Hyatt benefits once we
officially join the portfolio."
Just a short distance from the quaint village of Placencia,
which offers a casual take on beachfront living with a selection of
shops, eateries and bars, The Placencia Resort offers one of the
most vibrantly activated resorts in the area. Energize with a group
fitness session on the beach, enjoy mixed grooves with Eclectic
Beach and Night Sands Scene, an unparalleled colorful mix of music,
dance, popups, and entertainment or opt for privacy in the many
hidden sanctuaries throughout the resort followed by a relaxing spa
experience. The resort’s indoor outdoor biophilic gym offers guests
a personal movement coach to engage with nature and self.
Home to Belize’s largest swimming pool, The Placencia Resort
offers distinct experiences for sun-seeking adventurers such as
complimentary kayaking and paddle boarding, and unlimited private
beach access. Complimentary bicycles are offered on property to
tour surrounding grounds or ride to Placencia village. The resort
offers enhanced programming and a multitude of adventures and
excursions for the whole family and groups of all ages, including a
weekly adventure schedule hosted by the activities team, fishing
expeditions, private boat charters, bespoke island immersions, and
scuba diving and snorkeling. Further, guests can explore day trip
tours to the inland of Belize with guided tours to Mayan
archeological sites, cave expeditions and jungle adventures.
Individualized planning support is available at guest disposal with
‘experience concierges’, creating custom escapes to make the most
of your time in Belize.
The Placencia Resort further builds on Hyatt’s strategy for
growing its brands in the Latin America and Caribbean region, with
forthcoming openings slated to debut by end of 2024, including
Hyatt Centric Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic,
Dreams Grand Island in Cancun, Mexico, Hyatt Centric San
José Escazú in Costa Rica and Hyatt Regency Panama City
in Panamá. The Destination by Hyatt brand portfolio
continues to expand in the region, with the recent opening of The
Legend Paracas Resort in Peru and the anticipated debut of Cas En
Bas Beach Resort St. Lucia in 2025.
Once The Placencia Resort joins the Destination by Hyatt brand
in late 2025, World of Hyatt members will have the opportunity to
earn and redeem points on stays to use toward free nights, dining,
wellbeing experiences and more.
