With a size of 77 square meters, a closet with a mini bar at the entrance, a king-size bed, a vanity, a desk, a bathroom, double sinks, a bathtub, a shower, a toilet area, and top-quality finishes inside with some handcrafted materials and a terrace-style balcony with ocean views, this will be the Family Plus Slow Standard room of one of the three hotels being built in the first phase of the Cabo Rojo tourist development project, Pedernales, the new tourist hub being developed in the south of the Dominican Republic.
This is the model room unveiled by the General Directorate of Public-Private Partnerships (DGAPP), the entity leading the project, following a visit by Sigmund Freund, the entity's executive director and head of the Pro-Pedernales Trust.
The press release highlights that the room is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to enhance the guest experience. This includes automated systems for controlling lighting and climate, as well as advanced connectivity services. Furthermore, personalized comfort features, such as high-end mattresses and bath amenities, have been incorporated to ensure a pleasant and memorable stay.
The exhibit is part of the hotel that will be operated by the Spanish hotel chain Iberostar and will have 580 rooms, according to a note sent by the DGAPP.
This hotel, which will be the first to partially begin operations in Cabo Rojo at the end of this year, is designed according to the principles of sustainability, modernity, and integration with nature. Its services will be focused on the needs of its guests and families, offering amenities such as a spa, restaurants, a swimming pool, and a kids' club.
Its modern architecture is complemented by facades that reflect the surrounding colors, inspired by the iguana, an emblematic animal of the region. The curved forms of its anatomy are incorporated into an ideal structure within a strict conservation program for protected and natural areas.
The architectural concept, based on materiality and color, chameleon-likely blends these structures into the natural landscape. As a consistent approach to environmental sustainability, the design minimizes its footprint on the available development area, respecting native vegetation and the natural environment, as described in the official statement.
