BareDiver enjoyed the Grand Opening of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Dominican Republic

On behalf of my self and BareDiver International, I would like to thank Palace Resorts and the staff at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino for a fantastic week.  We were honored to be invited and be able to attend the Grand Opening of the first ever, All-Inclusive Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.  It was amazing and we cannot wait to return!  Nothing compares to the knowledge of  experience when it comes to being able to truly understand something – especially when it comes to the travel industry.  Hard Rock pulled out all the stops with informative tours of the property, tours of the300+ pieces of Rock Memorabilia (like Madonna’s car pictured below), and the grand events.

As is tradition, for the grand opening of any Hard Rock, guitars were smashed at the grand finale.  I have been told that pieces of these guitars will be used to make a portrait of a rock star  -  I cannot wait to see it!

I truly enjoyed the bands they had preform each night:  Blue Oyster Cult, Revolver, and Marteo Venus, but I was truly awed by the Gipsy Kings as they brought back many memories from my youth as I backpacked through Mexico, Central America, and South America.  I guess I’m sharing my age, but they were fantastic!
Los Lobos!
We were busy with meeting, tours and grand events, but there was time to:

And sit by one of the many pools and enjoy the fabulous weather!
Thank you again Hard Rock for your great hospitality.  And for all you travelers out there, don’t hesitate to contact us at BareDiver for more information about all the great amenities the new Hard Rock Hotel and Casino has to offer!  We’d love to send you there!
