It all depends on the rental contract, if laid out as per diem on a year or two, then yes; you would have to fight it out in court via a long process.
If you contract the units under seasonal short and long term non-renewable contracts, the contract will expire with the tenants having no recourse in court. The catch is the fees that must be paid to RI as explained somewhat before.
Even if the units are not rented, the fees must be paid for the entire edification proposed. Once the units are rented there's also the rental tax that must be paid to RI as add on. If you try to bypass such payments and end up having to use an eviction order, then you'll lack the proof as required by the court to issue such order.
My brother in law always says that peace of mind is better paid than later having to deal with even one knucklehead.
He got the little known fact from my sister who happened to be administrator of then Camino Real and later Sheraton of SD.
After he got the ball rolling I haven't heard him grumble about dead weights.
Like I said, contact a hotel related lawyer and he may assist you in having your units apply for the seasonal "class" for the rentals.
You can do it yourself, but the framework of the legal system in the DR is questionable and too many dark spots.
