Aimbridge Hospitality has expanded its reach in the all-inclusive sector by assuming management of two Wyndham Alltra resorts in the Dominican Republic: Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana and Wyndham Alltra Samaná. Both properties now sit under Aimbridge’s recently launched All-Inclusive division introduced in August.
The Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana is owned by Advanced Asset Management while the Wyndham Alltra Samaná is owned by Casa Marina Samaná, S.A.S. Both ownership groups have reportedly invested strategically to reposition the properties under the Wyndham Alltra brand.
“We are proud to partner with Advanced Asset Management and Casa Marina Samaná in the operation of these two all-inclusive resorts,” said Craig S. Smith, CEO of Aimbridge Hospitality, whom HOTELS profiled in its latest cover story. “Their vision and investment in these properties reflect a deep commitment to quality and long-term value, and we’re honored to bring our operational expertise to support that vision. This agreement underscores our mutual focus on high-performing assets and the increasing appeal of the all-inclusive model.”
“Operating all-inclusive resorts in this region requires operational expertise, commercial strategies, and brand alignment. We are confident that Aimbridge is the right choice to bring the full potential of these properties to life,” said Carlos Ruiz, chief investment officer of Advanced Asset Management. “Our agreement with Aimbridge reflects our shared commitment to excellence and long-term value creation.”
Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana spans 47 acres of palm-lined beachfront in Uvero Alto, offering 620 rooms and suites. The resort showcases the Caribbean’s longest pool at 1,600 meters, nine dining venues, nine bars and lounges and the full-service Aura Spa. Guests also have access to multiple pools, a state-of-the-art water park, a modern fitness center and daily entertainment.
Wyndham Alltra Samaná features 404 rooms, bungalows and suites set amid 37 acres of coastal scenery, including a beach with a private cove and clear waters. Guests can enjoy five restaurants – including Umi, a new fusion Asian concept – as well as five bars and lounges. The resort also offers four pools, live nightly entertainment and access to nearby natural preserves, waterfalls and secluded beaches.
Both resorts began extensive renovations in 2024 to update accommodations, expand culinary options and enhance recreational amenities while maintaining their all-inclusive character.
“We are excited that Aimbridge Hospitality, a trusted partner with a proven track record managing Wyndham hotels in the region, has been selected to operate these fantastic Wyndham Alltra resorts,” said Gustavo Viescas, president, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts – Latin America & Caribbean. “These properties have been part of the Wyndham family for several months, and Aimbridge’s deep operational expertise and commitment to excellence make them the ideal partner to unlock the full potential of these resorts. Together, we look forward to elevating the guest experience and driving long-term success in the growing all-inclusive segment.”
Building on its global footprint, Aimbridge created the dedicated All-Inclusive division to meet rising demand for third-party management services in this category.
“We’re thrilled to manage these exceptional properties and bring our specialized capabilities to Punta Cana and Samaná,” said Leandro Castillo, president of Aimbridge LATAM. “With our newly established All-Inclusive division and strong operational capabilities across Latin America and the Caribbean, our teams are well-equipped to deliver the precision, care, and performance that this segment demands.”
The all-inclusive model continues to expand rapidly, driven by demand for curated experiences, elevated service and distinctive offerings. According to STR data, all-inclusive hotels are growing at four times the rate of other leisure segments, drawing more interest from hotel owners, investors and brands.
