Scheduled for Late 202590 RoomsHotel website
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE:H) in collaboration with Maya Rio Development announced today plans for the first Hyatt-branded hotel in Belize with The Placencia Resort, which is entering the Hyatt portfolio as an affiliated hotel before joining the Destination by Hyatt brand and World of Hyatt loyalty program late next year. Nestled south of Mexico, east of Guatemala, and next to the Caribbean Sea, The Placencia Resort is located on the Placencia Peninsula, a verdant, 13-mile long beach in southern Belize near the largest barrier reef in the western hemisphere.
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.
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.
