Top properties like Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana feature character meet-and-greets and water parks, while Dreams Flora Resort & Spa offers a water park and playground. Budget-friendly options like VIK Hotel Arena Blanca include kayaking and snorkeling lessons. Most resorts sit along Bávaro and Arena Gorda beaches, with direct access to soft sand and calm waters. All-inclusive rates typically range from $150-$400 per night depending on season and room category.
For families prioritizing space and entertainment, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana delivers 13 pools and a Nicklaus-designed golf course. The Royalton Splash Punta Cana boasts one of the Caribbean's largest water parks. Many resorts offer babysitting services, themed dinners, and evening shows. Book early for peak seasons (December-April and summer break) to secure connecting rooms or suites with kitchenettes.

Always confirm age restrictions for kids' clubs and pool areas before booking.
