Viva Wyndham Samana opened on 17 November. Viva Wyndham, that also operates the Tangerine (Cabarete) and the Dominicus Beach & Palace (Bayahibe), took over the former Guatapanal all-inclusive property on the beach of Cozon, west of Las Terrenas in the province of Samana. Viva Wyndham reports investing US$20 million in the purchase, remodeling and expansion of beach property. A children?s club, Mediterranean restaurant, discotheque and gym have been added to the beach hotel?s original facilities.
Viva Wyndham expects to open its fifth property in the Dominican Republic in January, the Viva Wyndham Playa Dorada (former Heavens).
