Bottom Line

The largest of four Paradisus resorts in Punta Cana, this 683-room property still manages to feel uncrowded due to its expansive grounds. Guests can expect to walk or hitch rides on the regular shuttle service to get to the beach, pools, luxury spa, yoga studio and impressive restaurants around the resort; there are also bike stations for those who prefer to cycle. The beach doesn’t quiet down at night as it can at other resorts, but rather comes alive with a party scene appealing to both young and old. The Royal Service upgrade - expect a sales pitch upon arrival - allows access to the private lounge and a separate pool and beach area. The resort is a bit more luxurious - and a bit pricier - than the neighboring Bavaro Princess All Suites Resort and Iberostar Bavaro.
