Punta Cana hotel embraces intimacy and luxury with 30 beachfront suites
Tortuga Bay Hotel, an exclusive beachfront property with access to a 1,500-acre ecological reserve, shines with 30 suites spanning multiple villas. Suites -- all designed by Oscar de la Renta -- maintain upscale casual charm with canopy beds and terraces or balconies with sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea or La Cana Golf Course. The golf courses -- La Cana and Corales -- come with their own designer appeal (P.B. Dye and Tom Fazio, respectively) and more lush landscaping.

Secluded... too much so ?
Going to this luxurious complex for a R&R 5-day stay, we knew it was not 'all inclusive' as most are in the Dominican Republic. We therefore expected a higher quality of service and discrete but polished and efficient attention from the staff. Except when it comes to the customs we could fly through both ways (!) as the international airport is basically on the property grounds, we cannot say we got the level of service we were expecting. Staff is very gracious and tries their best but clearly is largely undertrained for a 5-star. Another disappointment came with the ridiculous mark-ups we were forced to pay for any item (a very far from extravagant dinner for two ends up above the $120 mark, probably $160 with 2 glasses of wine and some water) as we were basically trapped on the grounds of "Punta Cana". We came to discover -we should have known better- that Punta Cana is not really the name of a town or a village, but more of a marketing concept (with fences around it, though). Too bad, because the natural setting is truly gorgeous, and extremely well preserved too. All in all, yes we had a very restful stay in a great natural environment and well designed and kept hotel. Seclusion however is something you want to decide for yourself, when you want it, rather than it being imposed upon you by design. When this feeling of being trapped is combined with hefty and unjustified prices, it turned into not such a great experience overall...
