I am looking for another translation than "gifted with," because this does not seem to fit very well and a better one is not coming to me. Thanks de antemano.

I would use equipped with because it refers to something that is not natural.

David, by all means avoid the passive construction. And forget about "gifted"...That´s not the right word for such context.
I´d suggest to re write the whole passage, conveying the same meaning but thinking about it in English before you write it.!
Best of lucks!

***está dotado*** de una amplia gama de instalaciones y servicios especialmente diseñados = has (been provided with) a wide range of facilities and services specially designed (bla, bla)
You can even say "has" by itself, and that will do it.

Spanish term (edited):
est� dotado
benefits from
Since it refers to an attribute, there is implicit benefit to that which is being described. I have used this translation on occasions, since it seems to fit very neatly.
Something went wrong...
