Our resort is located in a beautiful Caribbean island
that has become a favorite destination of people who want to
relax in an almost pristine, unpolluted piece of paradise.
The Caribbean is a colorful tapestry of Spanish, Jamaican, English, French, Haitian,
and African influences woven by a rich and storied history.
Christopher Columbus described this lush land as "a beautiful
island paradise with high forested mountains and large river
valleys". This statement is still as true today as it was in
1492. In addition to the comforts of sun, sea, and sand, the
Caribbean offers an exciting and unique cultural
experience that will captivate your
senses.

Our island
was discovered on December 5, 1492, by Christopher
Columbus during his first voyage to the New World. At that
time the island of Hispaniola (as Columbus named it) was
called "Quisqueya" by the Taino Indians who occupied the land.
With a population estimated around 600,000, the Tainos
(meaning "the good") were peaceful and hospitable to Columbus
and his crew of Spaniards. Columbus himself grew a particular
fondness for Hispaniola, describing it in his journal as "a
beautiful island paradise with high forested mountains and
large river valleys.
