The resort will feature an elite collection of hotel brands with gaming, entertainment, private residences, and shopping – there is even a private island. The Baha Mar Casino & Hotel, with 1,000 rooms, is the centerpiece of the resort, and includes a 100,000-square-foot Las Vegas-style casino – the largest in the Caribbean region. A 700-room Grand Hyatt, a 300-room Mondrian, the 200-room Rosewood Hotels & Resorts and the 694-room Meliá complete the accommodations at Baha Mar. Meliá International has announced it will take over the all-inclusive Meliá at Baha Mar this December.
