When a group of 20 or more plans a trip, the first fork in the road is whether to reserve a block of rooms in a hotel or rent a whole place for the group.
How they compare
| Resort room block | Private exclusive stay (Las Canas) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who else is there | Other hotel guests | Only your group |
| Shared spaces | Pools, restaurants, beach shared | Pools, deck, cabana and beach are yours |
| Price | Per room, per night | One price for the whole property |
| If fewer people come | Check the contract’s attrition terms | Total stays the same, per person cost rises |
| Meals | Hotel restaurants | Our chef cooks for your group |
| Group events | Book a function room | Use the cabana beside the beach or the ocean deck |
The case for a room block
- Your group is larger than one venue can sleep.
- Guests want to book and pay for their own rooms.
- You want many restaurants, a spa and nightly entertainment on site.
The case for exclusive use
- Privacy. Weddings, retreats and corporate retreats feel different when nobody else is there.
- Shared time. Everyone eats together and meets on the same beach without booking a room for it.
- Simple numbers. At Las Canas, exclusive use starts at $3,000 a night, depending on the season, and covers 18 suites and 24 bedrooms, the grounds and the staff. The separate four bedroom Villa is available starting at $650 a night.
What exclusive use costs per person
| Guests | Per person per night, based on a $3,000 nightly venue rate |
|---|---|
| 40 | $75 |
| 48 | $63 |

Questions guests ask
Do we pay more if fewer people come?
At Las Canas the price is for the whole property, so the total stays the same and the cost per person rises. Plan your split with that in mind.
Can we book only part of Las Canas?
Las Canas is booked by one group at a time. Ask us about your dates and group size and we will tell you what is possible.
Who arranges meals for an exclusive group stay?
Our chef cooks for your group on an optional meal plan, and our team plans transfers and activities with you.
