There’s a new way to book a Caribbean hotel. And you can even book a room tonight.

HotelTonight, the global last-minute hotel booking app, has officially expanded to the Caribbean.

The app has added the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas to its international roster.

It first added hotels in Puerto Rico in 2013.

“The Caribbean is a draw at any time of year – whether it’s New Yorkers escaping the winter chill or Floridians looking for a quick weekend away – and additional access to great deals in these hot locations makes it even easier for people to secure a last-minute getaway,” said Sam Shank, the co-founder and CEO at Hotel Tonight.

It’s a smooth, clever display and could provide a brand-new method of booking for Caribbean getaways.

One can book rooms on the app for tonight or up to a week out.

It takes less than 10 seconds to complete a booking on average, according to the company.
