A TROPICAL DESTINATION
What's better than spending your next business meeting, event, or company incentive trip on the white sandy beaches and Caribbean blue waters of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic? Don't worry, I couldn't think of any better alternatives either. But what is it that makes Punta Cana so great? Well first, Punta Cana was named one of the top destinations in the Caribbean in 2012 by Travelers' Choice. Second, Punta Cana is a popular destination for international travelers and businesses looking for a tropical getaway, a great year-long climate, a friendly atmosphere, and a whole lot more..
ALL-INCLUSIVE RESORTS
Punta Cana has numerous award-winning resorts (also referred to as 'balnearios') of all shapes and sizes to fit your specific organization's needs, and most importantly, your organization's budget. Many resorts offer different packages, such as all-inclusive packages, that make sticking to a predetermined budget very easy. Punta Cana also offers different levels of high-quality service, from value to super-deluxe resorts, depending on your price range. Below we have listed three different spectacular resorts at different price points. With an all-inclusive resort you will be able to budget your costs efficiently and effectively before stepping foot in Punta Cana. Even with a small budget Punta Cana can be affordable and extremely worthwhile, and not to mention unforgettable!
EASY ACCESS
Not only is Punta Cana a great destination for your next business meeting, event, or company incentive trip, but it is also extremely accessible for international travelers. The Punta Cana International Airport is located just miles from the many oceanfront resorts, and boasts the second largest number of international arrivals in the Caribbean, according to the airlines official website. With over two million international visitors each year, many international airlines have weekly flights to and from Punta Cana.
ABUNDANCE OF ACTIVITIES
There is an almost endless list of activity options in and around Punta Cana. There are twelve professional golf courses in the area designed by professionals themselves, such as Jack Nicklaus. If golf isn't for you, charter a boat ride out to Saona Island and watch dolphins swim and jump next to the boat, or go diving and explore the beautiful reefs. If you're more daring and like adventure, take a swim with giant sting rays and nurse sharks, or explore the nearby Zip-line canopy adventure. If you'd like to see more of the island, the 'real' Dominican Republic, take a group safari excursion and experience the people and scenery of the country. Each resort also provides long lists of fun activities for their guests to take part in. Lastly, if you just want to relax and enjoy the scenery, spend the day relaxing on the beach, by the pool, or being pampered by a professional masseuse in one of the many luxurious spas. At the end of an exciting day, everyone can join together for a group dinner. One event that is amazing for tropical destinations is a cocktail hour and/or dinner on the beach, with everyone wearing white. Add live music and a giant sand castle and you're group will have a night they'll never forget.
