PB hotel design editorial

Playa Esmeralda, on the Dominican Republic's largely undeveloped northeastern coast, was chosen precisely because it hadn't yet been claimed by the all-inclusive machine — and the central design challenge facing Zemi Miches All-Inclusive Resort, part of Hilton's Curio Collection, was how to deliver the scale that brand demands without flattening the landscape that makes the location worth visiting. The answer arrived in the form of low-rise terracotta-toned blocks arranged across a dense palm grove, their rooflines kept deliberately below the canopy, solar panels laid flat across the tops so they read as infrastructure rather than imposition. A curving arc building closest to the beach pulls the massing into a crescent that frames the grounds rather than dominating them. Inside, two distinct interior registers run through the property. The villa-category rooms carry exposed timber roof trusses, woven rattan headboards in a herringbone pattern, and ochre cushioning against pale stone floors — warm, craft-forward, and clearly in conversation with regional material traditions. The tower rooms shift register: textured sculptural concrete relief panels replace the woven surfaces, leather-wrapped headboards in burnt sienna anchor the beds, and floor-to-ceiling glazing frames the Caribbean directly. The lagoon pool complex, with its fire-pit islands set within illuminated water, gives the exterior its most theatrical gesture — circular banquette seating surrounded by water, a device borrowed more from Bali than the Caribbean, translated here into teak decking and low-slung upholstery that softens the drama just enough.

"We had the best experience at this hotel, not only is it beautiful all around but the employees are what made our experience unforgettable. Anisette did an amazing job making sure we had everything we needed and a proper tour. Jamal is super sweet and caring. Alvaro is also amazing! Arquimides is a sweetie. Junior, Vanessa y "el mejor" in the main bar are hilarious and very attentive. Danny in the swim up bar is an angel, we adore him! Jeffry and Esmarlin too. The entertainment team is wonderful. We definitely found a home in this hotel and will be back soon, God bless! ❤️"

"Absolutely amazing! An exceptional hotel with a beautiful atmosphere. Everything exceeded our expectations, from the facilities to the outstanding service. Every single member of the staff was friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. We would especially like to thank Edicta Garcia, the bartender at the Lobby Bar, for her kindness and excellent service. We'd also like to recognize Sandy and his colleague (I'm sorry I don't remember his name), who were both incredibly attentive and made our stay even more enjoyable. A special thank you as well to the Sports Bar supervisor and the bartender at the Sports Bar (I sincerely apologize for not remembering your names). Your friendliness, professionalism, and outstanding service did not go unnoticed and truly made a difference during our stay. Thank you to the entire team for making our vacation so memorable. We can't wait to come back!"

"My girlfriend and I are seasoned Travellers and decided to try Zemi Miches in Putna Cana on a whim. This is a new resort that has good and bad points. If want a family type place, this is kids friendly but if want adult this is not the place. It is all you can eat and drink. The buffet can be excellent but not always. The Italian restaurant excels. Danny at the pool swim up bar is incredible. The Mama Juana here is great. Mama Juana is local to the DR and each region has its own. There are water activities, non motor which are included. The beach here is a bit rocky and not the best. You can relax here as an adult as its quiet just know there are kids. If you want a get away its not the best but definitely a try id you just want a resort. There is nothing around other than the Secrets next door. If you want some local stores they dont exist here. The resort has onsite medical and is wheel chair friendly. It has a coffee/ice cream shop and in house gift shops but its not like other resorts where there is local shops to browse and barter. Due to the location, 90 minutes from airport and not greatest beach, we wont return but overall it wasn't bad."
