Philippe Cassis, vice-president of The Americas for Meliá Hotels International, commented, “As Yhi Spa was undergoing a renovation, we saw the opportunity to leverage our resort’s overall, comprehensive health and wellness experience, and we are especially excited to introduce this new personalized concept to travellers who see the Dominican Republic as a warm, relaxing retreat from the cold weather.”
And Cassis added, “We are still an adults-only, all-inclusive resort at our core, but now we can offer even more for the discerning health-conscious guest.”
