All-Inclusive Punta Cana Resort Rankings

Our goal is to stay in EVERY all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. So far, we’ve stayed in 24, and this is our ranking for each of them.

To determine the position and score of each hotel, these are our ranking factors: value for money, food, drinks, pools, beach, amenities, staff friendliness, entertainment, nightlife, room, and hotel grounds.

We’ll update this table periodically, so make sure to come back to see how the rankings change. We have video reviews and tours of each resort on this list on our YouTube channel.
