Most people when travelling to the Dominican Republic think of staying at an all inclusive resort. Yes, these resorts are great, but did you know that there are also many luxury hotels to choose from? Here are four reasons why you should choose a luxury hotel when travelling to Punta Cana.
1. Luxury hotels offer more than just all inclusive meals.
Many luxury hotels offer a la carte dining, which means you have a wider selection of food to choose from. In addition, the service at these restaurants is usually much better than what you would find at an all inclusive resort.
2. Luxury hotels usually have a better location.
All inclusive resorts are usually located outside of the town or city, while luxury hotels are located in the heart of the action. This means that you have easy access to restaurants, bars, and nightlife.
3. Luxury hotels offer more amenities.
Most luxury hotels have a private beach, a swimming pool, a spa, and a gym. In addition, many of them also offer free Wi-Fi, free shuttle service to the airport, and free use of bicycles.
4. Luxury hotels are usually cheaper than all inclusive resorts.
Luxury hotels are often cheaper than all inclusive resorts, but offer a much better experience. So, if you’re looking for a luxurious vacation without breaking the bank, a luxury hotel is the way to go.
