The 140-room resort will be located in the bay of Culebra, within the province of Guanacaste on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, where Aldesa together with US-based resort designing company Winding Road, are developing Monte del Barco, a premier luxury lifestyle estate.
Located approximately 15 minutes from the Liberia International Airport, in one of the tourist zones with the most development potential of Costa Rica and surrounded by spectacular natural beauty, Monte del Barco will feature, in addition to the guestrooms and condominiums, an 18-hole Tom Fazio designed golf course, a selection of world-class restaurants, a beach club, and exclusive facilities dedicated to events and recreation as well.
“Signing this contract to operate the prestigious and recognized Park Hyatt brand at this conjuncture validates Monte del Barco as a project and highlights its potential as a real estate investment”, says Javier Chaves, president of Aldesa Inmobiliaria.
“Costa Rica is among the safest countries in Latin America and has become one of the world’s top destinations with a focus on environmental quality and eco-friendly tourism,” said Pat McCudden, Head of Development for Global Hyatt in Latin America.
“The opening of Park Hyatt Monte del Barco, Hyatt’s first hotel in Costa Rica, is part of Global Hyatt’s initiative to expand its brand presence in Latin America. We are proud to be associated with this development, in an idyllic setting overlooking the clear turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean. The opening of this property in Central America with Aldesa will
consolidate Hyatt’s presence in the Latin America region, with three brands well represented: Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt and Hyatt Regency”, added McCudden.
Global Hyatt operates two Park Hyatt properties in South America (in Mendoza and Buenos Aires, Argentina) and will manage Park Hyatt Mexico City – Reforma in Mexico City, due to open in 2011. The company also manages an additional six hotels in Latin American
destinations including Mexico, Chile and Brazil.
