New Caribbean properties continue to open, a positive sign amidst the impact of Covid in the region.<\/p>\n
The Brix, Autograph Collection opened on Feb. 16 in St. Ann on the outskirts of the capital of Port of Spain, with 161 rooms and suites. All feature custom-designed furniture, warm color palettes and local art that reflects the history and culture of Trinidad and Tobago.<\/p>\n
The name Brix comes from the chemical measurement of sugar in solution -- a crop with deep history for the twin-island republic. \"Brix fosters chemistry in every sense of the word where guests will find 'human chemistry in action' as business, friendships and family intertwine,\" a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
Rates start at $169 per room, per night.<\/p>\n
The Ocean Club, a Luxury Collection Resort, Costa Norte recently opened on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, a 15-minute drive from Puerto Plata's airport.<\/p>\n
The resort offers 64 suites ranging from one to three bedrooms as well as five four-bedroom penthouses, including the three-floor Presidential Penthouse suite with five bedrooms and multiple terraces.<\/p>\n
Facilities include three restaurants, a Caribbean speakeasy called The Cellar, three pools (two are adult-only), beachfront whirlpools with fire pits, a secluded beach with private cabanas, L'Occitane Spa, a marina and a helipad.<\/p>\n
A two-bedroom suite starts at $956 per night, double. Guests who pre-pay in advance by credit card can receive a lower rate.<\/p>\n
Both properties are part of Marriott International's independent hotel groups -- The Luxury Collection comprises luxury hotels, and Autograph is in Marriott's premium category -- and are therefore part of Marriott's Bonvoy loyalty program. <\/p>\n
