Something different than the sports hotels in Punta Cana. This Beach and Golf Apartment sleeps your entire family – 8 people. It’s spacious, bright and located on a well renowned 27-hole golf course. You can rent a golf cart and just spend your entire holiday golfing around, or lounging at one of the private beaches located at the premises. Sorry, we meant swimming.
