2007 Festival Team:

Elliott International's Sun Village Resort & Spa will host the festival on its 24 acre beachfront property located in Cofresi Beach, Puerto Plata.  The amenities of the 300 room all-inclusive resort and spa include luxury villas set on private cul-de-sacs, 7 swimming pools, 5 upscale restaurants, and many screening facilities. Bursting with true Caribbean soul and seemingly unlimited opportunities for entertainment, Sun Village offers a true vacation, away from the demands of daily life.

Elliott™ , a leader in resort hospitality and real estate in the Dominican Republic, has partnered with Maxim Magazine, the world renowned media and lifestyle brand to launch the Maxim Bungalows. The Maxim Bungalows will launch in two locations in the Dominican Republic; Cofresi Beach on the country’s north coast in the Puerto Plata region and Juan Dolio on the south coast, close to the capital city Santo Domingo.

Opening in December 2007, Maxim Bungalows at Cofresi Beach will feature 108 studio, one and two bedroom luxury bungalow accommodations for those looking for an escape from the city hustle and bustle. The resort is located only 30 minutes from the Puerto Plata Gregorio Luperon Airport and 60 minutes from the Cibao International Airport in Santiago.

The popularity of the Dominican Republic as a vacation destination has soared in recent years with over 3.6 million tourists making the trip in 2005 alone. An estimated 28% of all tourists who travel to the Caribbean Islands come to the DR. It is no surprise why: the lush golf courses, rich history, gorgeous beaches and luxurious accommodations speak for themselves.
