Palace Resorts will open its 1,791-room Moon Palace Casino, Golf & Spa Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, in early 2009.
The all-inclusive resort, which Palace said will be the largest in Punta Cana and the first for the hotel company in the Caribbean region, will feature 13 pools; 11 restaurants and seven bars; a theater; a spa with 13 treatment rooms; a "Dophinarium" with choreographed dolphin performances; and a nightclub.
The resort also will offer a 45,000-square-foot Las Vegas-style casino, an 18-hole golf course and a 60,000-square-foot convention center that can accommodate groups as large as 2,800 people.
Guestrooms will include double Jacuzzis, balconies with ocean or lagoon views, a stocked in-room liquor dispenser, a mini-bar, satellite TV and WiFi access.
"The addition of Moon Palace Casino, Golf & Spa Resort marks another exciting chapter in the development of Palace Resorts," said Roberto Chapur, president.
The resort chain currently offers 10 all-inclusive properties in Cancun, the Riviera Maya, Isla Mujeres, Riviera Nayarit and Cozumel, all in Mexico.
