During my recent trip with the Romance Travel Forum, I had the chance to explore these new all-inclusive resorts. They offer a combination of adults-only and all-inclusive choices open to everyone.
All-inclusive resorts deliver excellent value, though they vary; some feature premium alcohol, 24-hour dining options, casinos, golf, excursions, and even certain spa treatments. Our goal is to provide our guests with the best options that match their lifestyle.
Moon Palace The Grand
I had the opportunity to preview Moon Palace The Grand, a reimagined realm of new all-inclusive luxury in Punta Cana. It boasts over 2,000 opulent rooms, more than 70 ocean-view swim-up suites, 19 gourmet dining venues, a comprehensive sports playground, a full-service spa, a vast waterpark featuring a lazy river, and an 18-hole Greg Norman Eco Signature Golf Course with its own restaurant.
The expansive lobby leads to a dining and shopping corridor that is unparalleled in the Caribbean. My favorite bar is a tropical oasis, highlighted by a grand grove of palm trees crafted from hand-blown glass made in Croatia. Dining choices range from Indian, Middle Eastern, French, Italian, Brazilian churrascaria, Japanese, sports bars, buffets, to Boulangerie, a 24-hour specialty coffee shop offering exquisite desserts that resemble small works of art.
Some rooms can accommodate up to five guests, making them perfect for families, and each room features a jacuzzi for two on the balcony. Some suites that are also swim-outs can accommodate up to seven guests. The resort is vast, so if you’re a traveler seeking an active vacation, this is the place for you, with so many activities that you'll need to stay at least six nights.
There are nine pools, some with swim-up bars, some exclusively for adults, set on a pristine white sand beach. Palace has one of the largest water park complexes in the Caribbean featuring a wave pool, slides, splash area for younger children, and a lazy river.
Evening entertainment options range from a nightclub and a lively 1920s-style speakeasy to a 1,200-seat theater that hosts full production stage shows.
Parts of the resort are still under construction, so the enchanted forest-themed children's area and some restaurants, such as the hibachi, seafood on the beach, and additional steakhouses, are not yet finished, but these are all things I am eager to experience on my next visit.

From the moment the staff welcomes you and guides you from your transport to check-in, the property radiates a tranquil and refined ambiance. The W Punta Cana presents a new all-inclusive, adults-only resort that stands as a unique tropical oasis in the Dominican Republic.
The newly constructed W Punta Cana, completed in 2025, provides 340 all-inclusive accommodations exclusively for adults. These range from the spacious premier guest room with a tropical view at 700 square feet to the expansive Larimar Penthouse, which spans over 4,600 square feet and includes four king beds. Each room and suite is equipped with bathtubs and separate showers, 24-hour room service, complimentary Wi-Fi, a mini-bar, daily housekeeping, and nightly turn down service. Certain rooms feature two king beds, swim-out options, and private oceanfront pools.
Featuring thirteen distinct dining and beverage options, you can explore unique venues such as the Satsuma, a Peruvian Nikkei rooftop raw bar, a micro-brew tap room, and food trucks/pop-ups offering a range of dishes from Surf and Turf to Bloody Marys.
There are plenty of daytime activities available, including 24-hour access to a modern 1,500-square-foot fitness center, as well as well-being and mindfulness classes, workshops, and a spa. The Away Spa features a hydrotherapy circuit, sauna, salt and steam rooms, along with ten private treatment rooms.
The W Punta Cana boasts the longest pool in the Dominican Republic, ideally located on a stunning white sand beach with spectacular views of the blue Caribbean Sea. Savor a cocktail either in the pool or in your private cabana while enjoying the calming sound of waves lapping the shore. For a tranquil escape, visit the Chill pool, offering light snacks and a swim-up bar, perfect for unwinding.
Enjoy your evening at the 33 1/3 Speakeasy, where you can listen to vinyl music, savor light snacks, and explore a rum club.
