Choice Hotels International’s Ascend Hotel Collection has added its first-ever all-inclusive properties.

The collection has added two Hodelpa properties, both in the Dominican Republic: the Emotions All-Inclusive by Hodelpa in Juan Dolio and the Playa Dorada Emotions All-Inclusive by Hodelpa in Puerto Plata.

“With 30 million visitors seeking out the Caribbean each year, we look forward to offering travelers and loyal Choice customers two all-inclusive resorts that offer an authentic and immersive experience in their favorite tropical destinations,” said Janis Cannon, senior vice president of upscale brands for Choice Hotels.

Hodelpa is the largest Dominican chain of hotels and resorts.
