Shyla Gardner, VP of Commercial Services for Latin America & the Caribbean, Hyatt Hotels Corporation, believes Hyatt’s approach to corporate events goes beyond the usual. “We focus on the unique goals and needs of each event,” she explains. “This customization ensures that corporate gatherings are not just meetings, but transformative experiences.”
At the core of Hyatt’s offering is the all-inclusive model, which simplifies the planning process for corporate groups. “With all aspects of the event—accommodations, meals, drinks and entertainment—bundled into one price, the all-inclusive structure provides planners with predictable costs,” Gardner notes.
The all-inclusive approach also extends to myriad venue options since the resorts within the collection range from elevated casual luxury to ultra-luxury. For example, Sunscape Resorts & Spas, known for its family-friendly vibe, offers a more relaxed yet luxurious option for corporate groups. Take the Sunscape Coco Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, which opened in late 2023 and is located only six miles from Punta Cana International Airport.
Here, groups will find 7,655 sf of meeting space: the 3,444-sf Palmera (capacity for 250, cocktail-style); the 3,049-sf Arena (220, cocktail); and the 1,162-sf Cocotal (50, cocktail). The resort also offers outdoor spaces so you can create a stunning beachside event. Additionally, the resort’s wide, open spaces with beautiful ocean views create the perfect setting for an array of activities and teambuilding experiences—from beach volleyball to yoga classes—all designed to engage attendees in a relaxed yet impactful way. “We understand the importance of group bonding,” Gardner explains. “Our resorts offer activities that encourage teamwork and provide attendees with a unique opportunity to unwind and connect outside of the meeting space.”
Ideal for small groups, Sunscape Coco Punta Cana is also a great choice for those attendees seeking a bit of life-work balance from their travels. Once the meetings and teambuilding activities are wrapped up, attendees can spend time with their families, exploring the 12 dining options, the vibrant shows and even letting off some steam post-work event at the mini-water park. By the way, book your VIP attendees into the Sun Club, which includes added perks such as VIP check-in and the Sun Club Adults Lounge. —Deserae del Campo [ON LOCATION]
