The surroundings are lush and green, which makes you feel you’re in Caribbean paradise.

The staff is super friendly and welcoming, so you’ll feel right at home.
Bavaretto Ocean Club
Lodges are a great option if you’re not into hostels or resorts. Bavaretto Ocean Club has spacious and clean apartments with a kitchen and washing machine included.

Hotel Sweet Home Punta Cana
Another home away from home, this time in a homestay. Yes, Hotel Sweet Home Punta Cana is situated on a top rated location, close to the Bavaro beach, nightlife and excursions.
