Paradisus Palma Real, a jewel in the Punta Cana crown on Playa Bávaro, is the favorite all-inclusive resort of guests that love luxury and the essence of the Caribbean. The perfect setting: turquoise waters, white sand, beautiful fountains and lush, exotic gardens; every corner is a unique spot to live incredible experiences One of four Paradisus resorts in Punta Cana, the luxury, 554-room Paradisus Palma Real is an affordable all-inclusive resort with a romantic Caribbean setting along a stellar beach. The hotel feels bigger than its sister properties, thanks to a palatial lobby leading to a jaw-dropping courtyard, swimming pool, and beach area. There are mostly well-reviewed international buffets and a la carte restaurants (one from a Michelin-starred chef), plus 24-hour room service and several bars serving liquor and non-alcoholic beverages. Suites are decorated in a classically elegant style, and have whirlpool tubs and separate showers, free minibars, free Wi-Fi, and furnished outdoor spaces. A lovely spa with a thermal circuit, evening shows, kids’ club, and fitness activities round out amenities. For a more luxurious experience, Royal Service offers butler service and special access to a posh lounge. It’s worth comparing rates with the Majestic Colonial Punta Cana and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana. Show

Oyster Hotel ReviewParadisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort Hotel Class: Luxury What Are the Design and Scene Like at the Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort?This luxury all-inclusive resort is a classy property with a good range of features and butler service for Royal Service guests.The dramatic entrance to Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort manages to satiate Caribbean expectations right from the start. A rare view of the sea from the elegant lobby makes an impression during check-in, and guests can enjoy inventive cocktails in the comfortable lounge area. A set of wide stairs leads down to luxury shops, the courtyard, restaurants, an open pool complex, and a stunning beach (where there will most likely be parasailers floating in the sky). As big as the property sounds, the grounds are not overwhelming, and a shuttle is not needed to get around. The classy setting is relaxed and meant for all ages, though the vibe may appeal more to adults and honeymooners, while The Reserve next door is more family-friendly. A stellar spa, fitness facilities, and evening shows keep guests busy, but the atmosphere is largely laid-back. Multiple restaurants and bars are largely well-reviewed, though some past guests have complained of mediocre buffets. Travelers that upgrade to Royal Service receive butler service – helpful for making dinner reservations – and access to a peaceful pool and beach area, as well as a sophisticated lounge.
