Punta Cana, Dominican Republic 23 Days Left to Save $100

November 29 - December 3, 2010

Punta Cana is what Caribbean postcards are made of—25 miles of white sand and swaying coconut trees. European tourists long ago discovered Punta Cana and Americans are now catching on. Punta Cana is all about relaxing by the sea—it’s that simple.

The activities to consider at the beach are endless: catamaran boat rides, parasailing, glass-bottom-boat rides for marine life observation, sport fishing, diving, and snorkeling.

Whether you’re a novice or shooting well below par, Punta Cana is paradise for golfers. Top-notch courses designed by Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus beckon with perfectly manicured greens, challenging fairways, and gorgeous surroundings.

Accommodations

The luxurious, new Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is nestled between 123 acres of tropical foliage and a secluded white-sand beach stretching nearly 2,000 feet. Eight swimming pools, together with six Jacuzzis and six swim-up bars, wind their way along the beach for more than 650 feet.

In addition to the resort’s elegant full-service casino, entertainment includes tennis, pool and beach volleyball, a fitness center, and nightly theme parties or shows. The resort also offers a magnificent state-of-the-art spa.

With 14 restaurants and 12 bars, there are options for every taste and preference. Choices range from brick-oven pizza to fresh seafood to Japanese cuisine. There’s even a wireless Internet café, a nightclub, and 24-hour room service. 

Every spacious guest room features a private balcony, LCD satellite TV, and a double Jacuzzi.
