Blue Diamond Resorts is quickly becoming a well-known name in the luxury travel industry, offering premier Caribbean accommodations and experiences across their award-winning brand portfolio.

With more than 13,000 rooms in eight countries with more hotels on the horizon, Blue Diamond is the fastest-growing hotel company in the Caribbean. Condé Nast Traveler recently ranked Royalton Punta Cana and CHIC Punta Cana among the Top Resorts in the Caribbean for its 2016 Reader’s Choice Awards.

“Royalton Luxury Resorts is still establishing itself and remains an emerging brand,” said Jordi Pelfort, managing director, Blue Diamond Resorts. “However, as Royalton has been the recipient of numerous industry-leading accolades so far, we are thrilled to see how Royalton will grow over the next few years.”

The company also recently celebrated numerous TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice and Certificate of Excellence Awards for hotels across its Hideaway at Royalton, CHIC by Royalton, Royalton Luxury Resorts, Memories Resorts and Starfish Resorts brands, located throughout the Caribbean in Cuba, Mexico and Dominican Republic.

“Winning many TripAdvisor awards across our portfolio is a source of pride for Blue Diamond Resorts,” said Pelfort continued. “The numerous achievements are a testament to the exceptional talent of our staff and demonstrate our tireless commitment to an exceptional guest experience.”

Blue Diamond Resorts offers both family-friendly and adults-only brands, providing distinctive experiences for every traveler.

Memories Resorts & Spa is an experience designed for the entire family with resorts featuring on-site splash parks, a popular kids club with famous themed characters Toopy & Binoo and an interactive teen’s lounge. Starfish Resorts offer great value for customers with convenient locations, comfortable accommodations and all-inclusive and city hotels offering prime locations and entertainment.

The hotel’s Royalton brand offers two different adults-only concepts: Hideaway at Royalton, an adults-only vacation experience with exclusive dining and accommodations and the stylish all-inclusive CHIC by Royalton, a social vacation experience where travelers enjoy luxury amenities around the clock.

Every hotel in the Blue Diamond portfolio offers a uniquely elegant experience, with its All-In Luxury features including the premium DreamBed, contemporary rooms and suites and unlimited reservation-free fine dining. Diamond Club upgrades are available for the most discerning guests including butler services, premium in-suite liquor, exclusive pool and beach access and the iconic Diamond Club Lounge.
