A $2.2 billion development project is transforming Cabo Rojo from a remote fishing region into the Caribbean’s next major resort destination. Iberostar, Secrets, and Dreams are all under construction, an international airport is on the way, and Grupo Puntacana — the company that built Punta Cana — is now managing the project. These guides track what’s coming, when it’s expected to open, and what it means for visitors planning a trip now or in the next few years.
