Paradisus Palma Real

Description:

• This is our favorite all-inclusive hotel in Punta Cana. It's the beneficiary of one of the most sophisticated creative contemporary designs in the area. The hotel's Iberian architecture seems to ripple and undulate from its entrance, past multiple and highly theatrical staircases and five different restaurants, one of which remains open through the long Caribbean night. The pools are spectacular, as is the beach. A complicated structure of add-on luxuries (spa packages, additional attention from the concierge staff, upgraded children's diversions) are available and usually come with occupancy of somewhat upgraded accommodations.

  Facilities: 10 restaurants; 6 bars; horseback riding; children's center; nearby 18-hole golf; health club; archery; bike and walking tours; 3 pools; casino; karaoke disco; nightly entertainment; room service; sauna; spa; 3 tennis courts; watersports equipment; deep-sea fishing
