Kevin Froemming, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Playa Hotels & Resorts, said the Panama Jack brand could be in Jamaica by as early as 2020 in the form of one or two hotels.

The new-build is the SO / Havana Paseo del Prado, slated to open in 2019 to mark the French brand’s debut in the Americas. AccorHotels already has a presence in Cuba with the Hotel Mercure Sevilla Havane and the Pullman Cayo Coco. 

It will reemerge as adults-only, with 350 rooms, a rooftop pool with direct views of Anguilla, luxury swim-out suites and the largest pool in the Caribbean, all situated on a private and protected enclave.

The planned reopening of the Caribe Hilton in San Juan in December will mark another significant step in Puerto Rico's path forward following the hurricanes of a year ago.

Hilton announced its partnership with all-inclusive specialist Playa Hotels & Resorts to grow Hilton’s portfolio of all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean and Latin America.

Nestled in a privileged area of ??Old Havana and at just a stone’s throw from the right side of the Havana Bay, the new Grand Packard Hotel stands tall, under the management of Iberostar Hotels & Resorts.
