Some hotels are places you stop at, and others are places where you finally breathe. The Punta Cana Princess belongs firmly in the second category. From the moment you pass through its gates, the quiet of the tropical gardens, the scent of flowers and the notably absent noise of children remind you exactly why this resort chose to dedicate itself exclusively to adults. The beach of Bávaro, with its fine cream-coloured sand and translucent blue water, lies just steps away. You set down your bags, you listen to the palms sway in the breeze, and your pace slows down all on its own.

Arrival

Punta Cana Airport is just 25 minutes from the hotel, meaning you are settled into your suite before the feeling of travel has even worn off. The 270 suites are spread across small, colourful low-rise buildings set within the gardens, giving the entire resort a human scale that large Caribbean tower complexes rarely achieve. The Deluxe Suite included in this offer covers 55 sqm and provides a genuine living space. The king-size bed anchors the main room, a sitting area with a sofa bed comfortably accommodates a third adult, and the bathroom combines a shower with a hydromassage bathtub, a detail that earns its place after a long day in the sun. Every suite has a balcony, which quickly becomes your morning coffee spot thanks to the tea and coffee service provided. The minibar is restocked daily with water, soft drinks and beers. Air conditioning, a safe and a television round out the practical amenities. Note that wifi is available but charged as an extra.

Dining, all included

The all-inclusive formula covers all meals, snacks and drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, throughout your stay. The main restaurant operates as a generous buffet, well suited to mornings when you return hungry from an early swim. But evenings are where the dining offer really opens up, with four à la carte restaurants available for dinner, serving Italian, Mediterranean, Swiss and steakhouse cuisine. You can change culinary worlds each night without leaving the resort. The unmissable address is the Mare Nostrum bar-restaurant, open all day and into the evening right by the beach, with sand practically underfoot. Three bars in total are available to ensure you are never left waiting for a drink between dips. For those seeking a more gastronomic experience, two gourmet restaurants, La Cava and El Pescador, are available at an additional charge, as are premium spirits, fresh fruit cocktails and other top-shelf beverages. The hotel also organises romantic beach dinners on request, available for a supplement, perfect for a special occasion. We invite you to verify the details of the all-inclusive package directly on the official Punta Cana Princess website, as inclusions may vary depending on the season and room type.

Days by the water

The beach at Bávaro, with its immaculate white sand and waters of remarkable turquoise clarity, is the resort's central asset. A butler service operates on the beach, meaning you can set yourself up, order a cold drink and remain beautifully undisturbed for as long as you like. The lagoon pool, positioned close to the beach, offers a shaded and equally pleasant alternative for late afternoon hours. More active guests will find plenty to do with the tennis courts, archery, mini-golf and non-motorised water sports. A fitness room with sauna and hot tub is also available. The international entertainment team runs Spanish lessons, aerobics sessions and dance classes, while carefully preserving the peaceful atmosphere that defines the resort. This is not a property that forces entertainment on you, and that is precisely what makes it valuable. Motorised water sports are available on the beach at an additional cost, and the spa, for treatments, is accessible with a supplement. The Punta Espada Golf Club, designed by Jack Nicklaus and considered one of the finest courses in the Caribbean, is accessible nearby at an additional charge. Organised excursions allow you to explore the region, including Saona Beach and Catalina Island.

Evening vibes

As night falls, the Punta Cana Princess keeps the energy going. The evening programme rotates between live concerts, karaoke nights, shows and beach parties around a bonfire, an experience made particularly special by the sound of the waves in the background. The Areito nightclub is free to enter, with local drinks included in the formula until midnight. Beyond that, a shuttle service runs to the Princess Avalon Casino for those who want to extend their evening in a different direction.

Who is it for?

The Punta Cana Princess speaks directly to couples seeking genuine disconnection, pairs of friends wanting a polished holiday without compromise, and seniors who know exactly what they want from a quality all-inclusive stay. The adults-only policy is not a marketing detail, it defines the entire atmosphere of the resort, which is calmer, more intimate and more attentive to individual comfort. It is not the right address for those looking for high-energy entertainment or a family resort, but that is precisely what makes it so appealing for everyone else.
