Honoring the People, Partners & Communities Behind Our Success

President

Jordi Pelfort

What began fifteen years ago as a bold idea and a handful of determined individuals has grown into one of the most dynamic forces in all-inclusive hospitality. Royalton Hotels & Resorts was built on vision, but it has thrived because of its people. Our team’s passion, resilience, and relentless pursuit of excellence have transformed an ambition into a remarkable reality. Today, we’re not just in the business of hospitality, we’re in the business of creating moments that stir the soul and create a connection to something bigger. And every success we’ve achieved has been made possible by the extraordinary individuals who have believed in this mission from the start. I am deeply proud of what we’ve built — together.

Executive Vice President

Daniel Díaz

Royalton Hotels & Resorts was built with a mindset of innovation and agility, and that foundation has allowed us to grow strategically over the past 15 years. From expanding into key destinations to introducing distinctive resort concepts, we’ve consistently anticipated market needs while strengthening our partnerships and portfolio. None of this would have been possible without the talent, dedication, and forward-thinking leadership of our team; a group I’m incredibly proud to work alongside. Our eyes remain firmly set on the future and the opportunities still to come.

How quickly time flies…

It’s been over 10 years since I began my journey with Royalton Hotels & Resorts, and looking back, I’m filled with gratitude. These years have been so much more than just work — they’ve been filled with growth, learning, challenges, and unforgettable moments.

I’ll never forget the opening of Royalton Punta Cana in 2013 — the adrenaline, the last-minute arrivals, the teamwork, and the pure commitment. That spirit has stayed with me ever since.

I’m incredibly thankful for the people I’ve worked with, the opportunities I’ve had, and the trust and support I’ve received. Today, I move forward with the same passion I had on day one — and a heart full of motivation for everything that’s still ahead.
