The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana – the world’s first all-inclusive Hard Rock Hotel – is thrilled to announce that it has been recognized as an esteemed AAA Four Diamond hotel for 2011. The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic was a standout in the annual rankings, which are reserved for superior properties that exemplify the highest level of excellence in every facet of operation. Less than four percent of the more than 31,000 lodgings approved by the American Automobile Association achieve this coveted designation.
Just as diamonds are a priceless natural resource, so is the AAA Four Diamond rating. The AAA Diamond Rating System is North America’s premier travel and culinary classification program. Reliable Diamond Ratings provide information and insight to guide travelers’ accommodation and dining selections. The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana is the first large-scale property in the Dominican Republic to receive this distinguished honor, boasting 1,787 rooms.
The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana provides an endless array of personal services, enticing outdoor activities and exhilarating entertainment options. Among the resort’s many offerings are luxe accommodations featuring the Hard Rock’s branded “Rock Star Suite,” the signature Rock Spa®, iconic music memorabilia and a larger-than-life Vegas-style casino. The resort will soon debut the see-and-be-seen Oro nightclub created by the Miami Marketing Group and a Kerry Simon restaurant by the acclaimed celebrity chef.
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana guests can indulge their senses at the renowned Rock Spa®, home to the area’s most incredible aqua center with hydrotherapy circuits, clay and color therapy steam rooms, saunas, a sensory experience pool and an innovative ice room for skin purification. For those looking to tantalize their palettes, celebrity chef Kerry Simon, dubbed the “Rock n’ Roll chef” by Rolling Stone Magazine, unveils his latest restaurant at this new Caribbean location.
Recognized as the largest casino in the Dominican Republic, guests and the general public test their luck at the hotel’s 45,000-square foot venue. Avid and amateur gamers alike can go all-in at the casino’s exclusive high-limit poker room, VIP lounge, race and sports book, or any of the 420 slot machines and 40 gaming tables. Late night features a new level of electrifying entertainment at Oro nightclub. The new gem of the Caribbean modeled to rival Las Vegas and Miami’s finest nightclubs, Oro boasts more than 10,000 square feet across two levels, and features intelligent show lighting and award-winning Funktion One sound. Adding to the dramatics is its signature two-story LED wall consisting of more than 300 individual LED screens and the first ever infinity edge bar. Imagined by Francois Frossard and inspired by the sensuality of the Dominican Republic, Oro is designed to maximize the nightclub experience, elevating and seducing its guests into uninhibited euphoria.
Every touch point at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana is exquisite. The resort is fully equipped to handle the largest events, from full-blown rock concerts to small, intimate occasions, offering more than 65,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space. Golf enthusiasts are challenged at the renowned 18-hole Nicklaus designed golf course. Guests also enjoy 15 expansive pools, four swim-up bars, a kid’s pool and lazy river. A variety of gourmet dining options are available through the resort’s 9 restaurants, from Brazilian steakhouse Ipema and The Market international buffet to Asian Teppanyaki at Zen and brick-oven pizza at Pizzeto. On-site shopping includes boutiques, souvenirs and treats at the Rock Shop and jewelry and Spa boutiques. Guests are entertained around every corner with exclusive Hard Rock memorabilia such as Elton John’s hand-painted piano, Tommy Lee’s Mötley Crüe silver space ship outfit, Gene Simmons’ custom axe base and Sammy Hagar’s 1926 hot rod.
