All Inclusive Resorts Punta Cana

Famous for its long, beautiful, sandy coastline, Punta Cana has been one of the most popular holiday destinations to visit in the Caribbean during the past few decades.

Located in the east of the Dominican Republic, Punta Cana is the perfect destination to sunbathe and spend a few days off. In addition to enjoying the beach, the sea breeze, and the tropical landscape, you can do other activities such as ecological walks, historic landmark sightseeing, and unforgettable nights, partying and dancing with all the characteristic Latin joy of the locals. Along the coastline, you can find a great variety of all inclusive resorts in Punta Cana that offer resort packages with the best deals and accommodations.

Here are some of the best things to do and see during your stay in this tropical paradise:

1. Saona Island Full-Day Excursion

Take a catamaran trip to Saona Island: a must-see destination for all Punta Cana visitors. This island is the perfect location to take spectacular photos of the lovely blue crystalline waters and sandy white beaches. There are plenty of excursions to take in catamaran boats or rapid boats.  

On your way, you can stop to jump into the sea’s natural swimming pool and have a chance to snorkel and admire the colorful fish.

You can sunbathe, swim, or walk around the island, enjoying the Caribbean breeze. After having lunch in the wooden restaurants, most excursions will keep the fun going with drinks and an onboard party on your way back.

2. The Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park and Reserve

You cannot miss the opportunity to visit this private nature reserve managed by the Fundación Grupo Puntacana. You can walk through the jungle, bathe in the natural lagoons or ride horses along the beaches. This natural reserve is the real deal for ecotourists and pure nature fans.

3. Visit Santo Domingo, dive into history

History enthusiasts will love to visit Santo Domingo, the country’s capital city, which is 3 hours by car from Punta Cana. There’s a very interesting colonial area where you can find the first cathedral and hospital built in the Americas by the Spanish. You can visit the Santa Clara church, the Dominican Convent, and the Ozama fortress – a 16th-century military construction, amongst other colonial heritage buildings.

4. Dance and laughter, Punta Cana’s nightlife

Have a great time dancing and partying; enjoy typical nightclubs such as the Congo Bongo or make some friends with the locals and discover the party atmosphere of the Dominicans. Like most Latin and Caribbean people, Dominicans are warm and friendly people who love to welcome tourists. Prepare your hips to dance to the rhythm of merengue and bachata, two widely popular local music genres.
