Enjoy Hospitality Group

RESORT OPERATIONS

The purview of Enjoy Hospitality Group’s hospitality arm, Joy Caribbean Resorts, currently includes management and operation of several condo-hotel and resort properties in Cap Cana as well as in other key destinations in the Dominican Republic, including La Romana and Jarabacoa. Among these properties are Sports Illustrated Resorts Marina & Villas Cap Cana, The Hub & Villas by ACUNMEDYA and Hotel Caserma by The Hub, Vista del Campo Country Club & Villas, and Vera Luxury Mountain.

Joy Caribbean Resorts is aligned with global brand management company Authentic Brands Groups and Kituwah LLC to expand the presence of Sports Illustrated’s hospitality vertical, Sports Illustrated Resorts, in the Dominican Republic. Joy is the exclusive owner-operator partner of Sports Illustrated Resorts in the region.

Opened in early 2023, Sports Illustrated Resorts Marina & Villas Cap Cana is the first Sports Illustrated Resorts property in the world. Featuring 70 spacious guestrooms located alongside the Caribbean’s largest Marina, the resort personifies a unique experiential All-Inclusive concept centered on sports and travel, offering unbeatable access to Cap Cana’s world-class sporting facilities, including Punta Espada Golf Club and Los Establos Equestrian Center. 

Sports Illustrated Resorts Marina & Villas Cap Cana provides an array of activities and attractions for guests, with a focus on authentic cuisine, vibrant entertainment, well-heeled wellness & relaxation offerings, and sporting fun. The resort also houses four restaurants, three bars, three outdoor swimming pools, the boutique gym SI Fit, and Time Out Wellness Spa.

In Summer 2024, Joy—through Enjoy Hospitality Group—launched a partnership with RCI, the Travel + Leisure Co.-owned enterprise and world’s largest vacation exchange program, to expand distribution across its hotel, rental program, and vacation club channels.

In early 2024, Joy Caribbean Resorts launched a partnership with global media & production company ACUNMEDYA, the producer behind international editions of Survivor and The Voice, to manage The Hub & Villas, a unique resort-production hub hybrid concept located adjacent to La Estancia Golf Resort in La Romana, Dominican Republic. 

The Hub houses 238 hotel guestrooms and a villa operation of 140 units, as well as an all-day cafeteria, The Food Hub.

ACUNMEDYA’s broadcast partners include key global players in premium content, among them Netflix, TV Azteca, and Telemundo. Given The Hub’s unique lineage, and in addition to welcoming vacationing guests, the resort complex is a hybrid space that also serves as the production hub and multifaceted filming location for ACUNMEDYA’s award-winning scripted and non-scripted content.

In Fall 2024, Joy extended their partnership with ACUNMEDYA to operate Hotel Caserma by The Hub, a beloved boutique 72-room property in the La Romana-Bayahibe area that is currently under renovation and poised for a grand re-opening in 2025. 

Hotel Caserma is distinguished by its commitment to sustainability, which is evident in its energy-powering solar panels, pollution-reduction UV-C lamps, and organic garden that produces vegetables, honey, and dairy products, which are sold locally as well as used in the “Slow Food”-inspired dishes served at Hotel Caserma’s open-air Italian restaurant and pizzeria, which will also both re-open with fresh new offerings in 2025.

In Summer 2024, Joy Caribbean Resorts entered a partnership to operate Vista del Campo Country Club & Villas, an intimate 700 square-foot property nestled in the natural beauty of Jarabacoa, a scenic mountain resort town located in the Dominican Republic’s central region.

Offering six villas ranging in size from spacious lodges to cozy chalets, Vista del Campo is singular in its commitment to offering guests privacy and relaxation, excellent food and drink at its signature restaurant Las Terrazas and cozy wine & cigar lounge, and premier access to Jarabacoa’s natural attractions and eco-tourism activities, among them paragliding and white-water rafting. Given its elegant spaces and surrounding beauty, the property is also a popular venue for weddings and private events. 

In Summer 2024, Joy Caribbean Resorts partnered with Vera Luxury Mountain, a developing high-octane mountain lodging concept located in La Vega, Dominican Republic, to manage its grand opening in 2025 and ongoing operations. Enjoy Hospitality Group’s condominium association management vertical, ONE Prestige Management Group, will also manage Vera’s condominium entity. 

Featuring modern villas and residences with five-star service, Vera Luxury Mountain innovates on the traditional villas model through its chic, minimalist design and state-of-the-art amenities.

Vera Luxury Mountain will feature over five spacious, cutting-edge villas and residences, 24/7 concierge services, an on-property restaurant with 360-degree views, wellness & beauty services, valet services, retail shopping, and exclusive access to eco-tourism and outdoor attractions in the region.
