Playa Hotels & Resorts, S.L., the company formed in 2006 by Grupo Barcelo in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, announced its acquisition of the 756 guestroom all- inclusive upscale Sunscape Casa del Mar Resort in La Romana, Dominican Republic.
The luxury resort and spa is operated by AM Resorts and is located on the southern coast of the Dominican Republic adjacent to the world famous Casa de Campo resort and golf community.
This is the second resort purchased in the Dominican Republic by Playa Hotels & Resorts.
