Best resorts in the Dominican Republic

Punta Cana

Luxury is the name of the game at this 5-star all inclusive resort in Punta Cana. Where to start…how about the two-tiered infinity pool overlooking the coast or The Boulevard, featuring a bowling alley, arcade and water park! Maybe it’s treating your tastebuds with a scoop (or two or three) at the ice cream parlour. Vacationing sans kids? The adults only accommodations offer amenities reserved for mature guests (wink).

Puerto Plata

We’re getting emotional over this slice of paradise for its sprawling golden-sand beach, spacious grounds and tasteful accommodations in Puerto Plata. Located in the Playa Dorada Complex and one of our Smile Resorts™, you can have it all – from mini-golf to batting cages, a climbing wall, kids and teens clubs, sparkling pools, gourmet dining and more. Plus, swim-out and adults only room category inclusions to really make your stay special.

Punta Cana

Surrounded by tropical gardens, swaying palms and the most spectacular sands in Punta Cana, Grand Bavaro Princess is a shining star for family vacations. Kids can play at the pirate-themed splash pad or supervised kids club while parents hit the pool, before the whole family comes together to enjoy a delicious meal at one of the resort’s dining options (you like food trucks?) – plus, action-packed entertainment in the evening!

Punta Cana

The newly renovated Riu Palace Bavaro is one of the top resorts in the Dominican Republic for unique getaways packed with exciting amenities and super luxe touches.

Punta Cana

One of best resorts in the Dominican Republic for families? We buy it. Your littles can interact with Turbo the Turtle® at the kids club while you’re all the way over at the world-class spa, and then everyone can enjoy the water park next door together. Picky eaters have met their match with plenty of restaurants (and an ice cream parlour!) on site, and a spacious suite means everyone is comfortable.
