Bridget's Take

The firsthand perspective.

Puntacana Resort is a private resort community just minutes from Punta Cana International Airport. I stayed at The Westin Puntacana and enjoyed a beautiful dinner on the beach at Tortuga Bay, the resort's boutique hotel.

Room Tips

Choosing your stay.

I stayed in a Premium Room with one king bed, an ocean view, and a balcony. At about 635 square feet (57 square meters), with a mini fridge and coffee and tea maker, it's perfect for two. The same room category with two queen beds is equally spacious and works beautifully for a family of four.
