Punta Cana · The classic strip, most resorts, most nightlife
Bávaro: all-inclusive resorts we stayed in
Bávaro is the classic strip, 20 to 30 minutes from the airport: the most resorts, the most nightlife and the most choice. Twenty-four of the resorts we sell are here, seven of them adults-only and five with a water park, so both holidays exist on one beach. We have slept in eight, from three at 8.8 down to Occidental at 6.9.

- Seaweed, coast-wide
- East-facing
Seaweed is the coast's, not a resort's: the east-facing side of the peninsula and the season decide it, and it moves with the wind. Our own stays here: we saw it at Meliá Caribe Beach Resort; we did not see it at Meliá Punta Cana Beach Wellness Inclusive, Occidental Punta Cana.
