On January 15, Falcon’s Resort by Meliá, All Suites Punta Cana, will change its name to Paradisus Grand Cana, following an evaluation of the market response and the strength of the brand, announced Andre Gerondeau, director of operations of Meliá Hotels International.
Originally known as Paradisus Grand Cana, the property was renovated and relaunched in early 2023 under the name Falcon’s Resort by Meliá, part of a collaboration with Falcon’s Beyond, an entertainment development company.
The rebrand aligns with Falcon’s Katmandu Park Punta Cana, a neighboring theme park, creating a unique “resort entertainment” experience.
Despite the rebranding, the partnership with Katmandu Park will persist at the Paradisus hotels in Punta Cana.
The Paradisus Grand Cana will feature 108 special “Katmandu Experience” swim-up suites among its 432 accommodations, providing guests with enhanced amenities and complimentary access to Katmandu Park Punta Cana.
Additionally, Gerondeau revealed Meliá’s current expansion in Punta Cana, with plans to begin construction on a new Zel-branded property in May.
The Zel brand, a collaboration with tennis star Rafael Nadal, debuted at the end of 2022 with its first establishment in Mallorca.
The Paradisus Grand Cana and the upcoming Zel project are integral parts of a larger resort in Punta Cana, which includes Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort, Meliá Punta Cana Beach Resort and Meliá Caribe Beach Resort.
