"It's the area with the lowest per capita income in the country," said engineer Eliardo Cairo, later deputy technical director of the General Directorate of Public-Private Partnerships (DGAPP)—the institution responsible for infrastructure projects, goods, and services of social interest in the Dominican Republic—in 2022 at an event organized by Revista Mercado. Cairo was referring to the southwestern part of the country and justifying the major tourism development project that the Dominican government had begun developing in 2020. This was the Cabo Rojo Tourism Development Project, in the town of Pedernales, located on the border with Haiti.
A cruise port, an airport, water transportation and treatment infrastructure, and electricity supply, as well as a road network, were already underway when, in 2022, the DGAPP issued a call for bids for the construction of the first resort hotel. This was the Iberostar Cabo Rojo, an all-inclusive resort awarded to the Spanish chain Iberostar. The hotel, scheduled to open later this year (2025), will have approximately 200 rooms on four floors.
In addition to the turquoise-water beaches of the Caribbean Sea, the resort hotel will allow guests to enjoy shared and private pools with direct access from their rooms. It will also feature a comprehensive range of water activities for the whole family, for which Amusement Logic has been selected. This range includes a lazy river whose gentle current, generated by an advanced and efficient system developed exclusively by Amusement Logic, allows adults to relax on floats. And little ones will have access to water games from the Waterparty catalogue—if you'd like to learn more, there's a link at the end of this article.
This Waterparty is located in a children's aquatic area measuring approximately 380 m2, which will include an innovative and fun interactive structure with slides, a tipping bucket, and water jets of various shapes and types. In addition, the children's aquatic complex will expand the play possibilities with accessories from the company's Spray Toys catalogue. Amusement Logic's Waterparty interactive water games provide kids with a dynamic entertainment experience, ideal for family-oriented hotels and resorts, such as the Iberostar Cabo Rojo.
This is a fun aquatic area that encourages active participation by intrepid playful children and not just individual play. Made with durable materials and in compliance with the most stringent safety regulations, with a colourful design, the Waterparty interactive games immediately attract children's attention and are the centre of daily fun for tourists and guests travelling with families. In any case, it's always a pleasure to contribute to an initiative like the Cabo Rojo Tourism Development Project run by the Dominican Republic government, thereby helping to create jobs and increase the region's per capita income.
