Paradisus Palma Real
This is our favorite all-inclusive hotel in Punta Cana. It's one of the newest hotels at the resort, one of only four members of the same Spain-based hotels, and the kind of place where the kinks and errors of earlier, less sophisticated hotels have been ironed out and corrected. It's also the beneficiary of one of the most sophisticated designs in Punta Cana, permeated with stylish hints at Iberian antecedents that absolutely reek of the best aspects of creative contemporary design. The hotel's architecture seems to ripple and undulate from its entrance, past multiple and highly theatrical staircases, five different restaurants, one of which remains open through the long Caribbean night. The pools are spectacular, as is the beach. A complicated structure of add-on luxuries (spa packages, additional attention from the concierge staff, upgraded children's diversions) are available.

The difference here is in the details, with an exclusive intimacy a hallmark and moonlit horseback rides along the torch-lit beach a favorite pastime.
