Occidental Flamenco Bavaro is slated for a 1 November 1999 opening, after 14 months of construction. The property copies the design of the Playa Dorada Flamenco resort. It has 300 meters beach front and 64,000 gardens and construction. It will mostly feature all-inclusive packages, but an area has been reserved for those paying a premium at the Club Miguel Angel. The hotel will have eight restaurants. Ventura Serra, spokesman for the chain, says that Occidental has also invested US$10 million in the construction of 150 new rooms at the Occidental Playa Dorada, that has been totally renovated and reopens 15 October. The hotel completed last year the remodeling of the Hotel embajador, at a cost of US$10 million, and recently took over the Reina Cumayasa Hotel in La Romana, as per a report that appeared in El Siglo newspaper.
