Punta Cana Vacation Packages

Upscale suites, infinity pools, beachfront service, you name it, you'll find it in Punta Cana. This place is all about luxury. Want to be waited on, hand and foot? Resorts with Royal Service will give you the butler service you've always dreamed of. Need to be pampered? No problem. Indulge in luxurious spa days with hour-long massages on the beach or in a relaxtion suite that will get you feeling rejuvenated in no time.

If nature and science is your thing, then you have to check out this eco-park. And if you like pretty scenery, then you should hop onboard too. Stroll through the park's walkways or zoom by on a segway to tour the 12 natural, freshwater lagoons. Along the way, you'll experience preserved nature and wildlife like iguanas, fish, small turtles and hundreds of species of exotic plants. Plus, you'll get to boost your Dominican Republic knowledge by learning about the history and culture of the beautiful island you're on! Kudos if you learn why the park was named "Ojos Indigenas," and earn extra cool points if you learn how to pronounce it! And don't forget to pack your swimsuit and towel. After all the learning, you'll want to splash into one of the cold water lagoons for a refreshing end to your tour.

When it comes to Punta Cana beaches, you just can't go wrong. There's a reason there are so many beachfront resorts to choose from in the whole region. No matter where you choose to dig your toes in the sand, the Caribbean water will impress and the sand will soothe.

However, there are some characteristics that may help you find your match: If you’re a surf enthusiast, you should head north to Macao Beach where there are big waves and a surf camp. Families with smaller kiddos can feel at ease hanging out at Arena Gorda Beach, where the water is shallow. Arena Gorda also tends to be a calmer beach than other more popular areas, such as Bávaro Beach. While Bávaro is arguably the most attractive, it’s sometimes crowded with visitors also looking to lounge on the most beautiful piece of land. Scuba divers should visit Isla Catalina for its amazing coral reef. And, for an experience on an unspoiled beach, take a day trip to Isla Saona.

You don't have to worry about leaving anyone out in Punta Cana. Even the littlest of beach bums have plenty to sink their tiny toes into. Most resorts offer supervised child care programs, staffed by certified pros you can trust. Many even have a designated Explorer's Club, where kids learn about nature and science in engaging activities like sand castle building and hunting for buried treasure. And even better, while you let the kids have fun, you can enjoy quiet time by getting a spa treatment or reading a good book poolside.

There are tons of excursions out in the area if the whole family wants to find adventure together, too. Activities like snorkeling and safari tours are great chances to learn a little while you enjoy a lot, especially if you have older kids. And places like Dolphin Island Park, Animal Adventure Park and the Marinarium give you options for having fun in the water away from the beach, too.

Playa Limon is a 2-mile, isolated, hidden beach lined with coconut trees on the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic. Completely off the beaten path, this beauty is untouched by resorts and restaurants so you'll have to bring your own food, towels and so on if you want to hang out there.

You'll find delicious lobster and seafood meals on the menu at the Jellyfish Restaurant on Bávaro Beach. It's really close if you're staying at the Melia Caribe Tropical–just a short walk south. And it's beachfront too, so you'll have a gorgeous view of the beach and ocean while you eat. If you're eating on the top level, you may even catch a wedding on the beach! 

Noah's is in a strip mall just down the street from the entrance to the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe. It's got everything: superb American/continental cuisine featuring fresh fish, steak, pasta, pizza and sushi. Make sure to try the fried camber and the Italian eggplant dip for appetizers. And don’t miss the flaming Crème brûlée either. Delicious!

Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) is located on the east coast of the Dominican Republic, centrally located to the many beachfront resorts in Punta Cana. The $10 Tourist Card, once required for all tourists to purchase separately at the airport, is now included in your airfare when visiting the country–one less thing to worry about! 

The DR requires a $20 USD departure tax that’s usually included in your airfare. Your flight attendant will typically give you customs paper work to fill out on the plane. After you’ve been through the immigration desk at the airport and you’ve picked up your luggage from baggage claim, you’ll go to customs, where officers will possibly check your bags.

CheapCaribbean.com has partnered with Amstar as our premier transportation company in Punta Cana. They’ll provide you with safe, comfortable and professional transportation, from the airport to your hotel and back. They’ll also provide transportation to any excursions booked through our site that you’d like to take while you’re in your destination. It’s easy to find your Amstar team when you arrive at the airport. They’ll be standing in the ground transportation waiting area, holding a CheapCaribbean welcome sign. They wear floral shirts. All drivers are fluent in English, friendly and knowledgeable about the culture, history and things to do while you’re there. By the end of your ride, you’ll have made a new friend. Vehicles are all clean, modern and reliable. Amstar is also the official transportation rep for CheapCaribbean.com excursions when you book vacations to Punta Cana on our site. The majority of our partner hotels have an Amstar desk in or near the lobby so they’re easy to find, should you need them. For this reason, we suggest that our guests do not rent cars while in the Caribbean or Mexico as traffic laws and road quality and street signs are not the same as they are in the US.

You can get around your resort area most conveniently on foot, but if you plan on taking trips outside of the resort area, we recommend you use Amstar Tours. Excursions to fun activities include transportation to and from the hotel so you can count on a convenient and dependable ride.
