Punta Cana International Airport Palm-lined resort beach with loungers in Punta Cana

This is the original resort pocket, minutes from the airport by taxi, and it feels lower-key than Bávaro. Puntacana Village has the shops and restaurants, there is golf, and the Indigenous Eyes ecological reserve is the nature stop. Fewer hotels, which is either the appeal or the limit.
