Bisono Enterprises is pleased to announce RockResorts’ first venture in the Dominican Republic with Balcones Del Atlantico, A RockResort. With a soft opening of the resort scheduled for August 2009, the RockResort Grand Opening is expected this winter season. Bringing the world-renowned RockResorts brand to the tranquil resort community in Las Terrenas, Balcones Del Atlantico will be an exceptional destination for those seeking both relaxation and adventure on some of the world’s most stunning beaches. With future plans for expansion, Balcones Del Atlantico, A RockResort will feature 86 fully furnished two and three bedroom suites. With this new partnership, RockResorts will be the premier luxury resort operator in the country bringing further prestige to the already lavish Balcones Del Atlantico.
Balcones Del Atlantico selected RockResorts to manage their operations because of their commitment to excellence and track record for managing some of the most distinguished resorts around the world. “We are extremely honored to have RockResorts onboard for this groundbreaking venture, which is sure to be the first of its kind in Las Terrenas” stated President of Balcones Del Atlantico, Maximo Bisono. “We wanted to work with RockResorts because of their past experience with luxury resorts. The company’s ability to seamlessly embrace the local culture and beauty exemplifies our mission to provide guests with simple luxury in the beauty of Las Terrenas.”
The development of Balcones Del Atlantico is well underway with its first residents expected to move in July 2009. With an anticipated completion of 2014, Balcones Del Atlantico is a dreamlike community boasting a collection of over 300 exquisite one to five bedroom units, consisting of apartments, penthouses, townhomes and villas that offer breathtaking rooftop terraces with solariums, Jacuzzis and pools. Residential and rental interiors are by renowned interior designer Patricia Reid Baquero. Splashed in the vibrant colors of Las Terrenas, these deluxe units are complete with Viking stainless steel kitchen appliances and Hansgrohe bathroom fixtures.
In addition to the rental program, RockResorts will manage the wealth of amenities offered at Balcones Del Atlantico including the exquisite Balcones Del Atlantico over-water palapa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, several bars and reception and room service. The beach restaurant will join a long line of RockResorts acclaimed restaurants including The Wildflower at The Lodge at Vail, Grouse Mountain Grill at The Pines Lodge and La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa’s Fuego each of which has been named one of the top 10 restaurants in Colorado by Zagat Survey. RockResorts will also manage Balcones Del Atlantico’s beachfront spa, consisting of four private treatment cabanas perfect for unrivaled relaxation.
“We are extremely excited to be adding another Caribbean property to our growing collection of luxury resorts. Balcones Del Atlantico exemplifies RockResorts’ commitment to offering carefully selected properties in awe-inspiring settings and iconic locations. In addition, this property honors the history of RockResorts since the brand was originally created in 1956 by Laurence Rockefeller with a strong focus on the Caribbean market,” said Rob Katz, CEO of Vail Resorts. “As a Company, we are committed to providing guests with extraordinary resorts and exceptional experiences and Balcones Del Atlantico will surely uphold this standard of excellence and is a perfect complement to our other RockResorts properties in the region and abroad.”
While most of the world is seeing a recession in nearly every aspect of their economies, the Dominican Republic is thriving and has not seen the GDP decrease in any quarter presenting a remarkably stable economy. This is clearly visible at Balcones Del Atlantico, since 90% of their first phase units are sold. Though the second phase has not yet been launched, 15% of the units have already been sold. Regarding the overwhelming response they’ve seen, Bisono stated “We have seen a great diversity of interested investors, drawing attention on an international scale. What is so great about Balcones Del Atlantico is that we offer something for everyone. Whether you’re a family looking for a peaceful retreat with lots of excursions for all ages or a newlywed couple looking for a romantic escape, we have it all” concluded Bisono.
In addition, many wise investors see a very valuable asset in Balcones Del Atlantico; with a reputable developer like Bisono Enterprises, winner of many local and international construction awards, they can rest assured that their expectations will be exceeded. Bisono has even added additional amenities to the master plan at Balcones Del Atlantico for residents and guests to enjoy; among them are additional town houses, a green park, a church, a Japanese garden and a walking track.
Las Terrenas is rich with culture, unspoiled natural beauty, diversity and accessibility. Plenty of diversions await guests from plentiful outdoor adventures like snorkeling, windsurfing, horseback riding and four-wheeling.
