Best Fitness Hotels in Punta Cana

The AlSol Luxury Village delivers on its name with ample amenities and an enviable setting on the Cap Cana Marina (less than 6 miles south of Punta Cana International Airport). Each of the resort's villas feature Mediterranean-inspired decor, and some are flanked by private plunge pools. Even if you don't splurge for your own pool, you'll have access to two pools and the resort's private beach, which is just a short boat ride away. Prefer to stay on dry land? AlSol Luxury Village provides plenty of activities on shore, including tennis, basketball and golf at the nearby Jack Nicklaus-designed course (transportation to and from the course is complimentary; green fees are not). Despite the ample facilities, some guests weren't satisfied with their stay here, citing the isolated locale as a negative. Also, some felt that the menus at the on-site eateries were limited.

If you're looking to escape the sprawling brand-name resorts of Bávaro Beach, continue roughly 20 miles northwest to Portblue Le Sivory Punta Cana. Though some past guests were fans of Sivory Punta Cana's isolated locale, others said it was a bit removed from all of the action. But there's no real reason to leave the property between check-in and checkout. The boutique, adults-only hotel's 55 suites are elegant – with Asian- and Caribbean-inspired decor – and come equipped with balconies, flat-screen TVs, separate showers and tubs, coffee makers and free Wi-Fi access. Some suites even boast private plunge pools that overlook the ocean. To keep you from getting cabin fever, Portblue Le Sivory offers a variety of amenities, including a fitness center, a spa, an outdoor pool and a beach. Cap off your day with a cocktail at one of two bars or a bite to eat at one of four restaurants. All suite rates are all-inclusive, meaning you won't have to pay extra for any meal or drink. However, some previous diners were underwhelmed with the on-site cuisine.
