Original Group suspends operations of Miches resorts in the Dominican Republic

Miches.- Original Group has announced the suspension of operations for its hotels in Miches, Dominican Republic, effective January 15, 2024. The affected properties include the Temptation Miches and Temptation Grand Miches Resort, which were rebranded as Desire Miches Resort last November.

As per a statement accessed by Arecoa.com, the closure applies specifically to the Desire and Temptation brands and concepts at the Miches location. From January 16, 2024, the only resorts operating under these brands will be Temptation Cancún Resort, Desire Riviera Maya Resort, and Desire Riviera Maya Pearl Resort, all located in Mexico.

The company also mentioned that the Miches resorts will continue to operate but under a new name and concept, details of which will be announced later. In the interim, the sale of these properties has been halted indefinitely, and those with future reservations for these properties are advised to contact the company for further information.

This suspension marks a significant change in Original Group’s portfolio, particularly in the Dominican Republic’s growing tourism sector. The decision to rebrand and potentially repurpose the Miches properties indicates a strategic shift, the details and implications of which are yet to be fully disclosed.

It’s 1 hour and 30 minutes from the airport, Puerto plata has the same distance from its nearest airport has many successful resorts.

Swinger resorts don’t do well here.

Here’s what’s going on in the Dominican Republic: it’s the same old double standard. The president and the authorities supposedly knew what the hotel was all about when they gave the green light for its construction.

Of course, they still haven’t explained the “real reasons” why it closed. But given the country’s history on this issue, it could well have been because they don’t like the idea of nudism and swinging.

I remember that years ago, the singer Miley Cyrus couldn’t perform at the Olympic Stadium in Santo Domingo because the “conservatives” and the Church considered her concert to be vulgar and offensive to good taste. Can you believe it?

Because of things like this, this country will continue to stagnate or move at a snail’s pace, despite the inflated figures of 10 million visitors a year, being a paradise for foreign investment, etc.
