Ocean Sands   Four plus sun rating (This accommodation rating is a First Choice Sun Rating)

in Bavaro , Dominican Rep - Punta Cana

 

Chilled and colourful are the best words to describe this laid-back beachfront hotel. Spend your days stretched out on white sands dotted with palm trees, snoozing by one of the two swimming pools or testing out your swing on the nearby 9-hole golf course. There’s an à la carte restaurant for each day of the week and more bars than you can shake a mint sprig at. Plus, if you’re feeling energetic, there are loads of watersports to choose from and you can wind down afterwards with a massage.
