We stood at Punta Palmera for 6 days and loved every second of it! It was our first visit to Dominican Republic and we couldn’t of chose a better place to stay. The hotel is about a 15 minute drive from the airport, and is within a gated property. Which means it’s super safe, but a little far from activities or stores. However the hotel provides 3$ cabs wherever you need to go inside the vicinity or information to help schedule pick up dates or times outside the hotel. Punta Palmera itself is huge, although it is still under construction, the rooms are beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Every single person at Punta Palmera was super polite, kind and accommodating. If you’re worried about the language barrier, they have people who speak both Spanish and English. The hotel also excepts USD so you don’t have to worry about converting your money. If you’re looking for a quiet hotel within a safe community with a wonderful staff, breathtaking views of the ocean, huge rooms with full size kitchens and even a jacuzzi this is the place for you. Overall we had an amazing time, and would be visiting again shortly.
