I would certainly recommend you
Ocean Blue & Sand in Punta Cana. Not as big as Fiesta Palladium complex, but they have excellent food and premium drinks at non-premium prices.
Rooms are nice and have even been recently renovated to provide gadgets like LCD, two huge pools are beyond beautiful, and staff is great (also a safety box is for free, which cannot be said of some other resorts like Bahia Principe). Beach is practically the same as in other PUJ hotels, and it's an easy stroll between the lobby, the buffet restaurant and a-la-carte restaurants, and the pools/beach. Several a-la-carte restaurants (Mexican, American, Italian, Steakhouse, Dominican, Seafood) complement excellent buffet meals.
You can read international papers provided free of charge while sipping a frappucino in Mike's coffeehouse while enjoying an excellent cheesecake or other sweets.
There is also a bowling alley and a climbing wall to add to your spare time.
A very nice disco place with fully stocked open bar keeps you dancing until late hours and a sports bar stays open till morning along with overnight snacks (burgers, fries, wings) so you can continue your holiday blast as long as you can keep up. Don't forget the regular karaoke to publicly present your artistic skills.
