Another Eden Roc Joins the Hotel Scene: in the Dominican Republic

July 26, 2012 at 9:35 AM | by | Comments (0)

Another day, another hotel called Eden Roc. We're not kidding. But this plush new, all-suites property in the Cap Cana area of the Dominican Republic is a lot fancier than its U.S. namesake, the Eden Roc Renaissance Miami Beach.

Time will tell if it can become as legendary as its French namesake, Hotel Du Cap Eden Roc (a celeb and Lagerfeld fave).

What we can tell you is that Eden Roc at Cap Cana brings a new level of luxury to the area (and gets you far, far away from the party-happy scene in Punta Cana so beloved by reality TV stars).

The first 12 suites opened amid lush landscaping earlier this month, although the rest of the suites (some of them bigger than your house) and the resort's restaurants will be unveiled in October, as a more official grand opening. Earlier this year, we caught a glimpse of the candy-colored exteriors peeking through palm trees and can attest to the generous size of even the entry-level suites.

Inside the 34 suites, the look is both fresh and European. Bathrooms have large tubs and outdoor rain showers and each suite has a sizable private swimming pool, protected from neighbors' prying eyes by conveniently planted foliage.

Suites come equipped with iPads which control the light, temperature, TV and sound, and there are two large LCD flatscreens with satellite programming so you can stay in touch with The Bachelor or the soccer or whatever your latest obsession may be.

Before the new restaurants, kids' club and poolside bar are ready at the main resort, guests can dine at the nearby Caleton Beach Club (view from its restaurant pictured here), which sits on a gorgeous slice of coastline where you can enjoy fresh seafood and get massages in an open-air palapa on the beach.

All you need to get there is the eco-friendly golf cart that comes with your Eden Roc suite -- it's a two-minute drive from your room to the water. The peace and quiet and the free WiFi make up for not being even closer.

Rooms start at $660 a night.
