SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic – The results are in and we are proud to announce that millions of reviewers named Punta Cana the #1 Destination in the Caribbean in the 2016 Travelers’ Choice Awards.

Surrounded by azure waters and nestled across 100 miles of powder-soft white beaches, Punta Cana remains one of the most lavish and popular areas of the country, where visitors of all types and budgets can find something to suit their travel needs. Boasting everything from luxury villas to budget-friendly resorts, amenities and activities here are endless โ€“ tourists can enjoy multi-generational family fun, dream wedding locales, luxurious designer golf courses, high-tech business and convention centers, adventurous excursions, opportunities to connect with nature, vibrant nightlife, high-end gastronomy, rejuvenating spas and much, much more.
