The Playa Bávaro resort has reopened after a reported $40 million transformation. New Family Suites sleep six, dining was refreshed, and Caribbean Water Park is still listed as Coming Soon.
Majestic Colonial Punta Cana has reopened after a brand-reported $40 million transformation of the 2005 Playa Bávaro flagship. The useful changes for bookers are renovated rooms with outdoor Jacuzzis, a new Family Suite that sleeps six, refreshed dining, and a water park that is still listed as Coming Soon.
Majestic first announced a $35 million renovation and a November 12 reopening in May 2026. Its September update raised the figure to $40 million and moved the reopening to November 5.
This is the family hook. Junior suites are 532 sq ft and cap at 4 guests. The Family Suite is the official one-room option for larger or multigenerational groups who want space, two bathrooms, and an outdoor Jacuzzi without booking two rooms.
The resort is open again with clearer family inventory. The unfinished piece is Caribbean Water Park, which the official site still marks Coming Soon.
Majestic's September 17, 2026 press release and October 1 TravelPulse brand update both say November 5, 2026. The official site now says the resort has reopened after a $40 million transformation. An earlier May 6, 2026 release had said November 12.
Both figures appear in Majestic-issued materials. May 2026 said $35 million. The September 2026 release, October TravelPulse brand post, and live official site say $40 million. The $40 million figure is the most recent.
Not according to the official resort page, which still lists Caribbean Water Park under Coming Soon. Planned features include multiple water slides, a lazy river, and zones for different ages.
Thirty Family Suite (Outdoor Jacuzzi) rooms. Each is 1,025 sq ft, sleeps up to six, and includes a king bedroom, a separate living area with a sofa bed and two Murphy beds, two bathrooms, an indoor bathtub, and an outdoor Jacuzzi.
No. It has a Family Section for all ages and Colonial Club / The Club for adults 18+.
