Punta Cana is one of the most popular destinations in the Dominican Republic.
The weather is ideal year-round: colder months still see temperatures of 68 degrees Fahrenheit,
while the hottest months top out around 89 degrees.
Picturesque beaches stretch for miles, and delicious Creole dishes dominate the local
food scene.
Lively clubs and casinos are scattered throughout Punta Cana, and the resorts are world-class.
If you're looking for a stress-free vacation, look no further than an adults-only all-inclusive
resort.
Why?
As much as we may love kiddos, there's no denying that the steady trill of screaming
tots is grating for everyone.
And all-inclusive resorts make it easy to stay entertained onsite and take the stress
of choosing restaurants or lounging locations out of the equation.
Join us as we look at ten of the best adults-only all-inclusive resorts in Punta Cana in the
Dominican Republic.
Number ten.
Royalton CHIC Punta Cana.
This eclectic resort has glowing pink neon lights and large slushie machines that constantly
churn out margaritas.
It still has the standard offerings of all-day buffets, additional restaurants, a spa, and
a fitness facility.
But make no mistake - this resort attracts party-goers.
Think of it this way: adult spring break.
You can get alcoholic drinks as early as 9 AM.
The beach has plenty of lounge chairs and daybeds with umbrellas if you need to escape
the hustle and bustle once in a while.
Number nine.
Iberostar Grand Hotel Bavaro.
This award-winning resort is covered with palm trees, and the beach lounge chairs have
expansive thatched umbrellas to protect you from the sun's rays while you sip your complimentary
beverage and read a book or listen to the calming water.
It's a moderately sized resort with more than 270 rooms - a dozen of them are oceanfront
suites, and 19 feature swim-out entries.
Plenty of recreation areas are available, with three pools, two tennis courts, a golf
course, and a fitness center.
Like most all-inclusive resorts, the spa offers a wide range of services but stands out with
full-service Turkish bath options.
The grounds even have some resident flamingoes you might encounter as you stroll the grounds.
Number eight.
Punta Cana Princess All Suites.
As the name suggests, this Princess resort boasts all suites.
The suites are all equipped with balconies and whirlpool tubs.
The honeymoon suites are the most lavishly adorned with free rum, massages, and delectable
dinners.
Some unique sports activities are available onsite, including archery and a traditional
French game - French boules.
One of the disappointing aspects of staying here is that WiFi is only complimentary in
the lobby - you'll need to pay additional fees to gain regular access to the resort's
WiFi.
Number seven.
Breathless Punta Cana Resort & Spa.
While most adults-only resorts cater to couples, Breathless is an excellent resort for singles.
Strong lighting choices paired with retro furniture exude the playfulness that Breathless
seeks to convey.
It's a larger resort with 750 suites, but it feels much quieter than the resort's capacity
suggests.
Suites are adorned with the basic amenities, but you can upgrade to an Xhale Club suite,
which improves the minibar and room service menus.
It also provides exclusive access to VIP restaurants, pools, and a private roped-off section of
the white sand beach.
You'll also be treated to a butler who can provide services far beyond turndown service
or snagging you extra towels or pillows.

Number six.
Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar.
Bahia Principe has five resorts in the Punta Cana area, and Ambar is the one you want if
you're looking for an adults-only all-inclusive experience.
Included with your stay is up to one hour of free equipment rental for kayaking or stand-up
paddleboarding - a significant saving if you regularly use the perk.
It's a more extensive and older property - although recently refurbished - and hosts 528 suites.
The hotel receives high praise for the private outdoor pools and beautiful decor.
Guests choose from six restaurants, half of which are international buffets.
Visiting the sister properties expands your options further, although you may encounter
families once you leave the adults-only oasis.
Again, we wish there was complimentary WiFi in the rooms, but it's a manageable inconvenience.
Number five.
Barcelo Bavaro Beach.
If you're a golf fan, this resort might call to you with its Pete Dye-designed golf course.
National Geographic has designated Barcelo Bavaro Beach as one of the top ten beaches
in the world, making this an excellent choice for your stay in Punta Cana.
You'll also have access to the other portion of the resort that is family-friendly, increasing
your options when it comes to swimming, lounging, and dining.
The resort is popular for honeymooners, and you can even schedule poolside couples massages.
The resort is massive - the adults-only resort has about 500 rooms, while Barcelo Bavaro
Palace has a whopping 1,400 rooms.
But Palace guests won't be able to access your side of the resort, so you can retreat
to solitude whenever the crowds get to you.
Number four.
Excellence Punta Cana.
Excellence Resorts has appeared on our lists before, and for a good reason.
This elegant resort's lobby even boasts a beach view - a rarity in Punta Cana.
You'll also walk through a fantastic green space on your way into the lobby.
Well-manicured grounds provide a welcoming habitat for flamingos and other local wildlife.
During a remodel in 2017, owners removed the casino from the property.
So, if you see this feature pop up in your research, you're likely looking at outdated
information.
Some of the activities you can participate in while staying here include free horseback
riding, tennis lessons, Spanish lessons, and SCUBA training.
Like a cruise ship, you'll get a daily newsletter detailing all day's activities.
Number three.
Catalonia Royal Bavaro.
This resort is geared toward couples.
And don't be surprised if you see some topless sunbathing while you lounge on the beach.
The resort gives off a zen vibe with a putting green, a small quiet stretch of beach, and
two-person whirlpool tubs in each room.
The spa has a robust menu of services, including a Turkish bath and hydro-massage showers.
Couples treatments are also available.
One of the drawbacks of this resort is that there are no rooms with ocean views.
Number two.
Sanctuary Cap Cana.
This resort is truly a sanctuary - it's secured within an exclusive gated community called
Cap Cana.
The design reminds guests of Spanish colonial times with the beautiful yellow buildings,
ornate arched windows, and fenced rooftop spaces.
Your suite will reside in either the Colonial or Castle section of the resort.
Dine at the Blue Marlin Restaurant, a unique establishment that is perched on stilts with
gorgeous ocean views.
Four other restaurants offer buffet and a la carte dining, depending on what you're
in the mood for.
Of course, round-the-clock room service is also available to guests.
If you're looking for off-resort adventures, just a few miles away will land you at Scape
Park.
There, you can go cave diving and zip-lining for an exhilarating experience.
Also, just a few miles away is the world-renowned oceanside golf course Punta Espada Golf Club.
Number one.
Le Sivory Puna Cana by PortBlue Boutique.
Our last resort on our list is one of the furthest from the Punta Cana airport.
But once you make it through the nearly hour ride over some less than stellar roads, you're
in for a real treat.
One perk of being removed from the rest of the resorts is the tranquility on the beach.
It's always relaxing to lounge in a chair or on a daybed, but it's annoying when you're
interrupted by local vendors trolling the beaches, peddling their wares.
You won't find that at Le Sivory - and the winds are a bit stronger, meaning you'll have
more wave white noise to fall asleep to while you relax.
And rather than 30 or 60 minutes of free use for non-motorized water sports like many resorts,
you'll have unlimited access at Le Sivory, based on availability.
Marble adorns the showers, and rooms will offer hot tubs, private pools, or direct beach
access if you choose the appropriate upgrades.
The smallest rooms still feel like studios with at least 600 square feet of luxury living
space.
Four restaurants feature a variety of menus, although there's a heavy emphasis on Mediterranean
cuisine.
There are only 55 rooms here, meaning you'll have a more intimate experience and are more
likely to have personalized and prompt service.
