What Could be Improved at Paradisus Punta Cana:

A couple looking for the convenience of an affordable all-inclusive resort with a wide selection of restaurants and activities will be pleased with all the options at the Paradisus Punta Cana. Like so many large resorts, however, this one could be located anywhere and lacks a unique sense of place.
