Punta Cana
Hey everyone,
Planning a short 4 day vacation for my girlfriend and I.. We pretty much decided on going to Punta Cana and want to do the all inclusive packages. I searched on here and to my surprise, many members have gone and shared their experiences both good and bad. Any resorts I should flat out avoid? Any recommendations? There are about 80 "resorts" in Punta Cana and choosing one is becoming very difficult. Planning on going early January. Thanks everyone! Last edited by TwinTurboXI; 09-03-2012 at 08:49 PM.. |

I went when I was much younger... all I can say is pick on that has the facilities / activities that you're interested in. My family likes golf and beach so we picked on that had good choices for that. I can't remember what it was called though... too long ago.
The only time we really left the resort compound area was to go deep sea fishing. IIRC leaving the immediate resort areas is not too good. It may have changed since I went though.

Boyfriend and I stayed at the Gran Bahia Principe. No complaints. After a week of being there though, the food got tiresome and boring.
I want to go back.

Thanks for the comments everyone...was seriously considering Dreams as well as Gran Bahia Principe.
How far away from the airport are they? Looking for something close to the airport to cut down on wasted time since we'll only be there for 4 nights. |

The resort we stayed at was about a 10 min (??) drive to the airport.

I stayed at the Riu Palace in Punta Cana and was by far the best I have stayed in.

Excellence Punta Cana is a great place. Trip Advisor is also a great resource.

That was one of the best vacations and resorts I've been to in yrs! The people are super friendly (they sing a lot, lol) and they spoiled us rotten! I highly recommend this place! Ask for Arcadio (manager) in the French (all inclusive) restaurant. He will treat you like a royalty!

Boy do I miss the swim up bar. You actually swam up to the boat huh? I was too scared to lol. LOL to her I guess? Before going on the trip we made a stop at a dollar store and picked up flip flops, hair clips, little things like that. We left her one item/day throughout our stay.

Stayed @ Hard Rock for a conference. It was ok, relatively new. If the trip hadn't been paid for, there's no way in hell I'd ever end up there. If you're idea of fun is parking yourself in front of an all-inclusive trough to feed, and never leaving the grounds... By all means hit it. There's MANY places I'd rather be to experience the tropics.
