Indulge in luxury at the Excellence Punta Cana--without breaking the bank.
By Maria Mora
In Punta Cana, vacationers save big on romantic getaways without having to sacrifice on luxury. Discover why the Dominican Republic is the top destination for money-savvy couples. These five cheap Punta Cana hotels for couples don’t cut back when it comes to romance.
- Horseback Riding and Tiki Bars
For an old-school island atmosphere, couples head to the adults-only luxury resort Excellence Punta Cana. While the two giant swimming pools are tempting, I prefer simply lounging on the beach and taking advantage of the beachside waiter service. Don’t miss the free 30-minute horseback riding lesson. - Romantic Privacy and Intoxicating Food
At Sivory Punta Cana, each suite balances perfectly with the surrounding nature and the stunning views. Leave the windows open, feel the breeze, and be as daring as you want to be. Just save room for dinner at Tau, the resort’s exclusive eight-table gourmet restaurant. - Unlimited Luxury in Fairytale Surroundings
Secrets Sanctuary Cap Cana caters to couples and singles. The Spanish Colonial architecture gives the entire property a timeless fairytale appeal and sets it apart from other Dominican Republic hotels. If you’ve ever fantasized about escaping to a tropical island paradise, this is the right all-inclusive resort. - Lively Entertainment and Beachside Adventure
At Iberostar Grand Bavaro adults-only all inclusive, the focus is on fun. Couples and singles are invited to let loose during nightly themed dances and celebrations. One of the best Punta Cana resorts for active vacationers, the Iberostar Grand Bavaro also offers free fitness classes like yoga and spinning. - Pristine Beaches and Great Prices
Gran Bahia Principe is hands down one of the best deals in the Dominican Republic. While not as new as other properties in the area, this resort features everything you’d expect from an adults-only all-inclusive resort. Considered a best-kept secret, the property has great prices and roomy accommodations. Head to the beach early to get a prime spot in the shade.
