Hotel Group Meliá Hotels International's upcoming Circle resort in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic will feature a water park outfitted by Vortex International.
Designed by architect and concept designer Alvaro Sans, the waterpark will feature four pools with three Vortex Elevations multi-level structures and four standalone water slides, as well as ground-level Poolplay elements to create a highly-immersive play area.
The company was selected by both Sans and Meliá Hotels due to its expertise in creating imaginative and interactive aquatic play experiences, as well as its 'sophisticated and elegant' designs.
"We're delighted to develop the aquatic play installations for Circle At Paradisus Palma Real and help mare the resort a top destination for families," says Stephen Hamelin, president of Vortex International.
William Bernal, director of Works and Maintenance of America for Meliá Hotels, says: "We are convinced that the collaboration between Vortex and Meliá in the development of the water park at our hotel will enrich the experience of our clients by bringing them the joy of playing with water and creating memorable experiences for the whole family with innovative, sustainable, and recreational water features."
