AMResorts has “exchanged” brands at a pair of resorts in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. 

The company said the Now Larimar Punta Cana will reopen as the adults-only Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana.

What was the Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana will be rebranded as the Now Larima Punta Cana when it reopens.

Both of the two properties have recently undergone renovations last year to the tune of more than $30 million. 

And now the “new”, family-friendly Now Larimar Punta Cana is also undergoing some other upgrades, including the addition of a new lobby, a new swimming pool, a new Explorer’s Club and a new cafe, among other changes. 

“We are excited to make these changes to best serve our mutual clients. We look forward to hosting our mutual guests at the new Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana and Now Larimar Punta Cana,” AMResorts said in a statement.

For the last few months, we’ve been featuring Caribbean beaches to visit digitally; for the first time, we’re now able to include a handful of beaches you will soon be able to visit in person, as destinations like Aruba and Saint Lucia have already announced planned tourism reopenings. 

So from Aruba to Saint Lucia, here are five Caribbean beaches to dream about — and start thinking about your return. 

Marigot Bay, Saint Lucia It’s long been called one of the most beautiful bays anywhere in the Caribbean, and the signature beach at Marigot Bay is reached by a very brief ferry ride that takes you to a sandy, palm-filled little paradise. Saint Lucia is the first Caribbean island to officially reopen, with plans to begin welcoming tourists (with entry requirements) on June 4.
