The Punta Cana Beach Resort was recently enhanced when the owners took advantage of the closing for Hurricane Georges to upgrade the hotel. The resort was visited by First Lady Hillary Clinton during her visit to the country in November 1998. The Presidents of Central America met there during their visit to the country last year.

Several more, including one that will serve Punta Cana Beach Resort guests, are under construction in the area but will not be open if you visit early this year.
