Why this trip

Endless palm trees, turquoise water and a resort in which children are kept busy from breakfast until evening: Punta Cana is the destination for families who want the Caribbean without much planning. All-inclusive here means above all that nobody has to look for an open kitchen in the evening. The Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana is aimed explicitly at families with children, and the Meliá Caribe Beach Resort is another property on the beach. If you want to leave the resort, visit Scape Park with nature and caves or Monkeyland, where children see monkeys up close.

The El Dorado Water Park is a destination for hot days. The Hoyo Azul is a natural pool with clear water that suits a calmer excursion. The country data name November to April as the best travel time, when it is dry and warm. Neighbours of the region are Samaná, Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata, but in Punta Cana a fixed base is usually worthwhile, from which you make excursions if needed.

Which age groups your resort's children's programme covers is best checked before booking in a video call with Swiss Vibes.
