Golden Bear Lodge & Spa Opens at Cap Cana
Cap Cana, Dominican Republic – Golden Bear Lodge & Spa in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic, has opened, offering guests unparalleled attention ranging from butler services to a personal golf concierge in a comfortable and relaxed environment that carries the brand of legendary golf professional Jack Nicklaus.
For years, Nicklaus, known as “the Golden Bear,” has left his mark on some of the world’s greatest golf courses. As one of the world’s new great destinations, Cap Cana is no exception. Guests can vacation at the Lodge and play two Nicklaus-designed courses. A third Nicklaus course is planned.
“We are proud to be entrusted with the brand associated with Mr. Nicklaus and to ensure him and Cap Cana that the Golden Bear Lodge & Spa becomes a marquis destination for discerning travelers,” said Alex Zozaya, president and CEO of AMResorts, which has a sales, marketing and management partnership with Cap Cana.
Located at the eastern region of the Dominican Republic, Cap Cana is a tourist and real estate community that integrates luxury and exclusivity. The Lodge & Spa sits on top of a bluff overlooking Las Iguanas, one of two Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses, with stunning views of the white-sand beaches of the Caribbean Sea.
The 126 finely appointed one- and two-bedroom suites in the Lodge feature stylish furnishings, marbled bathrooms. In-room amenities include pillow selection menus, Jacuzzis for two, fully equipped kitchenettes, private terraces or patios and personalized turn-down service. Select suites also offer private plunge pools.
Appealing to sophisticated couples and families, the Golden Bear Lodge & Spa accommodates guests with one a la carte gourmet restaurant, a full-service spa, fitness center, free-form infinity swimming pool and four lighted tennis courts. Additional amenities include twice-daily maid service, 24-hour in-room dining, limousine, helicopter and nanny services, and laundry and dry cleaning. In addition to offering the utmost comfort in luxurious and spacious accommodations, the Lodge is also conveniently located near all of Cap Cana’s celebrated fine-dining restaurants, exclusive membership clubs, elegant boutiques, horseback-riding ground, and the Caribbean’s most modern and complete marina.
Guests of the Golden Bear Lodge & Spa can choose between Las Iguanas and the world-ranked Punta Espada Golf Club – also designed by Nicklaus – host of the Cap Cana Championship, a popular stop on the PGA’s Champions Tour.
The Golden Bear Lodge & Spa is the first property under AMResorts’ newly introduced Zoëtry Collection, an exquisite group of distinct small luxury hotels and resorts. AMResorts is scheduled to open two additional resorts in Cap Cana, Zoëtry Pearl Sands Cap Cana and Pure Secrets at Cap Cana, in 2010.
