Best Golf Hotels in Punta Cana

Paradisus Punta Cana Resort takes its Bávaro Beach location in Punta Cana seriously, with the surrounding landscape inspiring the resort's decor. The all-inclusive property's public spaces are open and airy, constructed from local materials and brightened by indigenous flora. Suites come equipped with LCD TVs, sofa beds, stocked minibars, free Wi-Fi access and private balconies or terraces. Paradisus Punta Cana also encourages its visitors to enjoy the resort's setting: Take advantage of unlimited green fees at the Cocotal Golf and Country Club, indulge in a treatment at Yhi Spa, relax by one of five swimming pools or head to the beach for some kayaking or sailing. Visitors can also use some of the amenities available at The Reserve at Paradisus Punta Cana, the resort's adjacent sister property. When its time to eat, Paradisus Punta Cana offers nine dining venues that serve a mix of cuisines, including Mexican, Argentinean, Mediterranean and Japanese. Most past guests enjoyed their stays here, although several report outdated decor (in standard suites), mediocre food and slow service from the resort's staff.

Located about halfway between Punta Cana and Santo Domingo in the La Romana region of the Dominican Republic, this all-inclusive resort is geared toward couples. Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville is an adults-only property featuring 412 suites with flat-screen TVs, stocked minibars, balconies or terraces, free Wi-Fi access and butler service (upon request). Outside their accommodations, guests will find two pools, a spa, a nightclub and a beach with water sports equipment rentals (charges may apply). Plus, visitors have their pick of six restaurants and four bars, though some recent diners said the food made them sick. Travelers hoping to explore the island can schedule tours and excursions like daytrips to Saona Island and Jeep safari outings through the concierge (for a fee). And when it comes to service, past vacationers rave about the resort's friendly and accommodating staff.
