Rating8.0Adults OnlyFull animation program daily — water aerobics, beach volleyball, dance lessons, and nightly shows. Non-motorized watersports at the beach included. Saona Island day trips are the top off-site recommendation and should be booked early in your stay.
Central pool with swim-up bar. Animation events held here daily.
Shallow dedicated area for young children.
Jetted pool with ocean views. Smaller, quieter than the main pool, and typically less crowded. A useful retreat when the main pool gets loud.
The property's standout feature. Calm, clear water with minimal wave action — consistently rated better than Bávaro Beach for swimming and snorkeling. Guests repeatedly note the absence of sargassum that affects eastern Dominican Republic beaches. White sand, sun loungers, beach bar. Chair availability is competitive — arrive before 8am for preferred spots.
Kayaking, snorkeling, windsurfing at Dominicus Beach. Included. The clear, calm water makes snorkeling worthwhile — better visibility than most Punta Cana beaches.
Daily activities and nightly entertainment. The animation team is the most praised aspect of the resort.
Extra charge, via concierge. One of the best day trips in the Dominican Republic. Book day one.
Nearby mangrove forests and Taino caves. Extra charge. A worthwhile cultural excursion.
Beach football and field soccer available. Informal games; the animation team organizes scheduled matches.

Live music at various venues throughout the evening. Sets the tone for the walkways between dinner and the show.
