Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana (aka Playa Macao Punta Cana) is a new all-inclusive resort that caters to families and couples with their Unlimited-Luxury® getaway offers. The resort is just 40 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport. Did we mention the cost is all inclusive.

Dreams is truly a family friendly option at beautiful Macao Beach, with steps to the golden sand and views of the spectacular turquoise water from luxuriously appointed suites or private villas.

A lazy river attraction for young folks, live entertainment for the older folks, and volleyball on the beach for young and old.

For repast, Dreams maintains nine gourmet dining options, including six à la carte restaurants, a buffet, a café, or a grill on the beach.

If we weren’t already married, we would consider this our wedding location of choice. The photos below show an amazing bridal room and a to-die-for palm lined slice of Caribbean beach from which to take your marriage vows – shod or sans footgear, your choice.

It is a world-class option for your stay at beautiful Macao Beach. You can venture out to expereince the real island life and then come back to luxury to re-energize.

Macao Beach Hostel – The More Authentic Island Life – <$20

The Macao Beach Hostel in Punta Cana is located just a short walk from one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, Macao Beach. Less than $20 a night.

Solo travelers as well as groups see this as the perfect option for hotel lodging at a cut rate. Adults only.

Hostels can offer more than just a bargain. For those who want to get as close as a tourist is able to the authentic and traditional Dominican life, this is an option. Hostels tend to attract adventurous spirits, artsy people, backpackers and Macao Beach is no different.

Bunk beds and mosquito nets are the decor in fairly cramped quarters but the action is outside along the beach and in the water anyway.

The last we checked the hostel’s website was down. Most of the major internet travel sites can book a spot for you but they will require a phone call rather than the usual seamless online reservation we’ve all grown accustom to. There is a Facebook page here.
