In fact, Punta Cana, whose shoreline is known as the Coconut Coast, is home to more than 50 miles of white sand stretching from Bavaro to Uvero. And the beaches here are rated some of the best in the world. So, if you’ve chosen the Dominican Republic as your destination but you’re unsure where to stay, read on for our round-up of some top choices.
When it comes to planning your perfect stay, an Ocean hotel by H10 is always a good idea. These five-star resorts serve up a taste of the finer things in life, and you’ll find them nestled in sandy spots along Punta Cana’s beachfront. That means you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea from almost every angle.

If you’re after a peaceful island retreat, the Ocean El Faro is a good choice – it sits on a quiet stretch of beach in Uvero Alto on the Coconut CoastThe rooms here are spacious and stylish, giving you that proper home-from-home feel with an added touch of luxury. Plus, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing what to eat, with nine globe-trotting eateries to pick from. Late night cravings? Don’t worry, the All Inclusive scene runs 24 hours a day here, so you can grab a bite to eat or whet your whistle at any time of day or night.
While this place may be tranquil, it certainly isn’t boring. Kick back on a Balinese bed by one of the five pools or float along the lazy river that weaves its way around the grounds, passing fountains, waterfalls, and a swim-up bar. If you fancy being a little more active you can join in with some beach volleyball or try and hit a strike at the bowling alley. At night, there’s still lots going on – roll the dice at the casino or pull up a chair at the theatre, before finishing the night on the dancefloor. If you’re travelling with children, there’s heaps to keep them entertained, too – from an ace kids’ club that hosts activities day and night for the little ones, to a teen club that comes complete with video games. So, whether you’re after a taste of luxury or a family-friendly holiday, the Ocean El Faro will deliver.

No problem, grab a cake from Mike’s Coffee or a milkshake from the 1930s style Route 66 American-style restaurant – icecream float, anyone?
