Vacation packages options in 2021

At the moment, there are many ways to make an unforgettable trip with vacation packages. That is why, let us first look at the most popular options that are available in 2021, and then we will discuss each point in more detail.

• Villas rentals
• Apartments
• Hotels & resorts
• All-inclusive options

So, each of the above options is special, where there are advantages and disadvantages. In addition, they are all for a different kind of vacation. That is why, before the trip, it is necessary to decide what you expect from your stay in the Dominican Republic and what type of travel you prefer.

1. Punta Cana villa packages

Many people think that renting a villa is much more expensive than a hotel. But we should say that it depends on many factors such as location, your preferences, type of vacation, additional services, and the size of the villa. Staying in a villa, you will see that all services and staff are focused just on you and not other people.

In general, prices for villas range from US$ 250 to US$ 5000 per night. As you can see, it means that you can choose a villa for any budget. So, you can get 5-star services, including private chef and maid, garden view, or ocean view – whatever you want to spend your unforgettable Punta Cana vacation.

Villas as the best all-inclusive packages

We need to mention that renting a villa allows you to get the same all-inclusive and 5-star services as in the hotel and all services will be focused just on you. So, let us take a closer look at what you can expect with all-inclusive.

1. Transfer options

Probably you know the feeling when you are tired after your long flight. And the last thing you want is to look for a bus or bargain with the taxi driver about the price. So, the best thing you can have is a transfer that will take you just from the airport directly to your stunning villa.

Moreover, we have to mention that we do not recommend you to drive by yourself for foreigners in the Dominican Republic. And the reason for this is that locals have their own rules on the road, which sometimes can be dangerous for us. So, our company has different types of cars for transfer. If you have a big group of people – the best thing is to rent a minibus. And if you have the most romantic honeymoon, you can get a VIP transfer such as a limo.

2. Maid services

When we talk about all-inclusive, then it is always about a 5-star service. It allows you to have a maid included, and a private chef is optional. We are sure that you worked hard to spend some time on your vacation. So, who wants to waste their precious time tidying up the whole house during a trip? The best thing is to have a maid who can help you with cleaning.

3. Chef and meal plans

Another great option is a private chef. You do not need to spend a ton of your time cooking in this heavenly place anymore. So, our chef will help you create your unique meal plan according to your personal preferences. We should mention that it is also a perfect opportunity to taste Dominican cuisine. That is why we recommend you to check out our different meal plans on our website.

4. Freedom and privacy

Without a doubt, renting a villa allows you to feel complete freedom and privacy. And be sure, this kind of freedom is hard to experience even in your own home. We have properties only in secure and private locations. Moreover, we guarantee that features such as a beautiful view and all the amenities will be visible from any place you choose to stay.

Most villas have a private pool, where you do not need to swim with strangers. In addition, you do not have to stand in line and wait until the sunbed is free since all this belongs to you. Another great thing is that you will have a maid service when renting a villa. After all, we are sure that you do not come on vacation to clean up, but to bask on the beach and explore the sights of the Dominican Republic.

2. Apartment rentals

Well, renting an apartment is always a good option. Why? Because you can get modern accommodation for a reasonable price. Nevertheless, it is cheaper than renting a villa, you can have your own place with privacy.

In addition, you can get the dreamy ocean view from your cozy balcony. Unfortunately, we should mention that renting an apartment means a need to cook and clean up by yourself. Therefore, for some, this can be a significant disadvantage. Despite this, you can book additional services such as a private chef and maid services.

Renting an apartment is a good option to save money. But some apartments can cost even more than some villas as they have large terraces and many rooms. Most likely, you will have access to the pool, which is shared by other people who live in the same building, and not private, as in the villa. In addition, our apartments are also located in secure areas.

In general, prices for apartments range from US$ 65, and the average price for an apartment is about US$ 285. However, the price depends on the same factors as a villa. Just imagine when you wake up and go to your balcony with a cup of coffee to enjoy the beautiful ocean. It sounds like a dream, but it is a Punta Cana vacation reality!

3. Hotels and resorts

Lots of people love to stay in hotels. We do not deny that this is convenient enough. Especially if it is an all-inclusive system. After all, features such as a pool, jacuzzi, restaurants, gym, and the beach are located in the resort area, and often there is no need to go outside the resort. Also, it is always nice that you have unlimited food and drinks, and you can take as much as your heart desires. Therefore, people choose resorts when they prefer a more lazy type of vacation.

Nevertheless, it is necessary to mention that this kind of vacation is not for people who like privacy and do not enjoy sharing the space with strangers. You need to understand that you have to get up early to have breakfast, unlike renting a villa where you can eat at any time. In addition, this type of vacation is not the best option for people who like to spend time actively.

Best all-inclusive resorts in Punta Cana

Since there are over 65 resorts in Punta Cana, there are many options to choose from, unlike other areas of the Dominican Republic. That is why we decided to consider below some of the most popular among tourists.

• Iberostar Grand Bavaro. Well, this is ideal for people who come without children and want to see only adults. This beautiful hotel was built in the Romanesque style. There are also many pools and restaurants with different cuisine, and they have 24-hour room service.
• Sanctuary Cap Cana. This one is also an adults-only resort. It is located on stunning Juanillo Beach. The hotel was built in a Spanish Colonial style reminiscent of an old fortress. Probably one of the biggest advantages is that there are rooms with direct access to the pool.

Guests who have booked a room on the lower floor will have the opportunity to enjoy a private space in the pool.

Moreover, there is 2 km of private beach and a coral reef. In addition, this is a good place for families with children, as there are slides and entertainment. Also, the hotel got the Green Globe Certification for its sustainable tourism practice.

Should you trust vacation reviews?

Probably, most of us read reviews about a destination, hotels, or villas before going on a trip. And this is quite understandable because we always want to know the experience of others and understand what can await us. But are these reviews always true? And who should you trust if some people write about their best experience, while others give the lowest score for service and accommodation at the same time?

To begin with, you should understand that there will always be those people who will not like even heaven and who have something to complain about. That is why we strongly recommend pay attention to those reviews where there is an argument for all the disadvantages and advantages. In addition, video reviews of a hotel or villa help to see reality, albeit through the screen. Therefore, on our YouTube channel, we have published many useful videos for such cases.

Airbnb is also a popular platform for checking reviews. There you can track the overall rating of the host, and the most successful hosts whose guests are satisfied with their accommodation are given the status of a super-host. It is difficult to achieve this status since you have to try to make a huge number of guests happy with their staying at your place. We hasten to inform you that our company has such a status. So, it means that you can definitely trust us.
