La Altagracia, Dominican Republic
Punta Cana
Punta Cana is the Caribbean's all-inclusive capital — 30+ miles of powder-white Coconut Coast beach with the most direct flight connections from North America of any Caribbean destination. The resort infrastructure is world-class, the beaches are exceptional, Saona Island is a 90-minute catamaran away, and the Dominican Republic is one of the best rum values on earth.

Bávaro Beach / Hotel Zone · Cap Cana · Saona Island (day trip) · Altos de Chavón / La Romana
Fly into Punta Cana International (PUJ) — direct service from most major US cities. Most resorts include airport transfers. All-inclusive dominates; nearly all options are on the Bávaro Beach strip. Avoid August–October (hurricane season).
Local Advisories
Common scams and safety notes for Punta Cana, from travelers and public reporting — not a substitute for your government's official travel advisory.
Aggressive Timeshare PitchesTour / Guide Scam
Timeshare "welcome gift" pitches — free excursions, taxi vouchers, or breakfast offers in exchange for attending a presentation — are extremely aggressive here and routinely run 3+ hours with high-pressure sales tactics. Politely decline any approach mentioning a "free" gift tied to a meeting.
Taxi Overcharging Outside Resort GatesCommon Scam
Independent taxi drivers outside resort gates often quote fares far above the resort's official taxi-stand rate. Confirm price before entering the vehicle, or book through the resort concierge.
Gated Resort SecurityGeneral
Most resorts are gated and heavily secured; incidents mostly involve overcharging rather than violent crime against tourists.
