Marriott has been steadily growing its AC Hotel brand in the Caribbean region. 

In recent years, Marriott opened AC Hotels in destinations including the Condado district of San Juan, Puerto Rico; Panama City; and the high-profile AC Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica. 

The new AC joins a growing portfolio of Punta Cana properties that include the Four Points by Sheraton Punta Cana Village, the Westin Puntacana Resort and Club and four Royalton-branded all-inclusive resorts.
