Learn Why Princess Hotels & Resorts Is a Perfect Partner Through Travel Agent Academy

When planning a resort stay for vacation-starved clients in the wake of unusual times, it's reassuring to have a brand to recommend that will deliver caring service and high-end amenities -- and in top destinations with easy access. Princess Hotels & Resorts provides all of this and more in a range of all-inclusive programs tailored for families and adults only, with ample opportunities to upgrade. Read on to learn why you should get to know this brand well to better serve your Caribbean-loving clients.

A Spain-based company with nearly 70 years in the hospitality business, Princess Hotels & Resorts has cultivated an impressive portfolio of seven beachfront properties in Caribbean tourism hotspots -- namely the Dominican Republic's Punta Cana/Bávaro Beach region and Mexico's Riviera Maya. Both areas enjoy a well-developed tourism infrastructure complete with sites to see and frequent flights from the U.S., while Princess' properties treat guests to a pristine beach experience within sensitively managed natural settings.

Princess' resorts are tucked away in peaceful enclaves, where their design integrates with nature, offering stunning views of the beach while enveloping guests in tropical beauty as they stroll the property or relax by the pools or ocean. The pools are often enhanced by graceful architectural or sculptural features, and at some properties, they wind through the lush landscape. Guests staying at Grand Bávaro Princess, an ecological complex sitting right on Bávaro Beach, will very likely spot peacocks, flamingoes and ducks on the property.

Combining open space, clean lines and modern décor, the guestrooms are elegantly appointed and offer a host of amenities. A popular room category is the Junior Deluxe Suite, which comes with daily mini-bar refills, balconies/terraces and, depending on the property and room location, whirlpool baths, hot tubs on the terrace and direct pool access. Guests staying in the Laguna Villas will enjoy Caribbean outdoor showers, a hot tub in the bathroom and a private pool. Amenities can vary across room categories and properties -- for example, guests in the Honeymoon Suites can take private merengue and Spanish lessons, and those in the "Platinum" accommodations within the resort can enjoy exclusive dining privileges, golf and spa discounts and much more.

Seafood restaurants, Argentinian steakhouses and an array of venues serving gourmet Italian, Mexican, Asian and Indian cuisine are just a few of the dining choices available at Princess Hotels & Resorts. Some resorts feature food truck areas -- even a hot dog truck by the pool -- as well as settings on the edge of the beach for the ultimate in sunset dining.

Princess properties lavish attention on their spa-goers, who will typically find local ingredients and tradition-based treatments among the offerings. The state-of-the-art Mayan Spa at Platinum Yucatán Princess, for example, invites guests to join in Mayan rituals designed to restore inner balance and serenity, while a session in the Temazcal is available at Grand Riviera and Grand Sunset Princess. Another notable place to be pampered is the SPA Vitality Zone at Grand Bávaro Princess, where guests can enjoy Cleopatra's Bath, an Aqualift facial and a full menu of salon services. Massages on the beach are among the many pleasures offered at most properties.

Not only are Princess' resorts all beachfront, but they also can boast up to a dozen swimming pools, depending on the property, and offer features like a water theme park, swim-up bars and whirlpools. Other outdoor amenities might include batting cages, a lagoon for paddle boarding, as well as such activities as archery, golf, tennis and snorkeling and diving -- but be sure to familiarize yourself with the properties to ensure the perfect match for your clients' outdoor interests.

Besides the pool areas, Princess' resorts offer plenty of spots for social interaction and entertainment such as a full slate of bars, various venues for programs like concerts, fire shows and spirited musical tributes and, at certain resorts, a casino. Another great way for your clients to have fun and interact with other guests is to take a dance or language class.

Princess Hotels & Resorts is the perfect partner for planning all sorts of stays, whether it's for a family vacation, couple's get-away, get-together with friends or a wedding, proposal or honeymoon -- to name a few.
