Punta Cana is about beaches, rest
and relaxation. But the popularity
of the destination has attracted
major real estate developments
and dozens of restaurants,
bustling nightlife and a variety of
shopping and catering options
for these newcomers and tourists
alike.
To help people understand the
sprawling labyrinth of the area,
please note that there are six
separate beach areas where the
resorts are located - Punta Cana,
Cabeza de Toro, Bavaro, Arena
Gorda, Macao and Uvero Alto.
With the completion of Punta
Cana's new highway expected
by 2008, the Tourist Express
|
Boulevard, the area can be
crisscrossed from south to north
in less than 45 minutes, meaning
that most places are close
enough to visit. The main hotels
are right on the beach, but many
restaurants and shops are located
on inland access roads leading
to the beaches. So, for the
practical purposes of this guide,
we have divided the region into
geographical areas from south to
north using the hotels in the area
and the access roads that are off
the new express boulevard as
reference points.
This guide focuses on what to
do, where to go and what to
see in Punta Cana. There is a
|
rundown on how to get around,
the beach attractions, shopping,
restaurants, nightspots, golf
courses and excursions. The idea
is that with this guide in hand
you may venture out and make
the most of what the destination
has to offer, and even draw up a
list of the things you would like
to do on your next visit.
Note that prices listed in this
guide may have changed.
