 11 Reviews  The Caribbean Festival snorkel excursion was really a great time! We booked our excursion at the resort for about $80-$85.

Beach

Beach, Punta Cana

 14 Reviews  The Playa Blanca is the place for beach bumming on the south side. There is just a bar for those who might get dehydrated from overexposure to the tropical sun but no hotel. This state of affairs is going to change radically after the completion of the Westin hotel next door in one year’s time. At...

Parasailing, Punta Cana

 3 Reviews  Even though my country of residence, Spain has many spots where they offer parasailing, never got a chance to have this experience. Better late than never.

Horseback Riding

Horseback Riding, Punta Cana

 2 Reviews  Give yourself a chance to see what the country is really like......get away from the comfort of your resort and indulge in the rawness and culture.

Price was... 

Mangu

Mangu, Punta Cana

 5 Reviews  Pretty much the ONLY place to party in Punta Cana......just ask anybody. It's located at the occidental resort and isn't a far taxi ride away from other resorts. Don't pay more than $15 for a 10 minute taxi ride with around 4 people. The club is PACKED every day of the week and has two levels. The...

The bus has its original stop somewhere west of the old town but it has another one sort of north-east... 

Resort Shuttles

Resort Shuttles, Punta Cana

 4 Reviews  As the Grand Paradise Bavaro is such a huge, sprawling resort, they actually need a SHUTTLE to get folks around. Many times we walked, but many times we used the shuttle.There were "stations" spread along the resort and they even had little "stations" or sitting areas, as sometimes you could wait...
