Bethesda-based Marriott doubles down on Dominican Republic

Bethesda, Maryland-based Marriott International, which entered the all-inclusive resort business in 2019, has signed a management agreement for a W-branded, adults-only, all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic. The announcement comes a month after Marriott opened another all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic, the Sanctuary Cap Cana, its 30th all-inclusive property in the Caribbean and Latin America. The new resort, expected to open in 2024, will be the 349-room W All-Inclusive Punta Cana Uvero Alto, a beachfront resort with spa, three pools with pool bars and 11 restaurants and bars.
