We recommend the Tortuga Bay Hotel (Higuey) and The Reserve At Paradisus Palma Real Resort All Inclusive (Playa Bavaro). They come with terrific reviews and top-notch services and amenities.

If your planning on arriving by plane, it's likely that you'll be starting your adventure at Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ). Once you've collected your luggage from the carousel and wandered outside, the main streets of Punta Cana will be waiting 3 miles away.
