Viva Wyndham Resorts president Ettore Colussi said: “For Viva Wyndham, this resort marks a new period of expansion in the tourism of our country and the region.
“It adds us to the development of Miches and opens the door to later participating in the Pedernales tourism project, as well as the international sector, in Jamaica.

The initial phase of the new resort will include 9,182ft2 of pool area, three buildings, a commercial-use building, a nightclub, outdoor spaces, gym, and à la carte restaurants and buffet
It will also include an amphitheatre with 1,100 people capacity, three bars, ice cream parlour, a café, room for events, and space dedicated for Viva Club members.
