ON THE DOMINICAN Republic’s eastern shore, Dreams Punta Cana fulfills even the most elaborate romantic fantasies. Lovers spend their days surrounded by manicured gardens, lazy palms and sandy beaches. The resort’s “Unlimited-Luxury” concept promises convenience, quality and comfort with complimentary meals at seven theme restaurants, 24-hour room service, unlimited cocktails and live entertainment.

Activities abound, in and out of the water. Couples can face off on the giant chessboard or play a game of bocce ball. Water volleyball and the resort’s ocean trampoline help temper the heat, as does the magnificent free-form swimming pool—one of the Dominican Republic’s largest, complete with a swim-up bar.

All 620 rooms and suites feature furnished balconies and terraces for private morning conversations over coffee or afternoons taking in the view. Any guest can upgrade to a stay in the Preferred Club, where they enjoy a private reception area, daily hors d’oeuvres, concierge service and other additional privileges.

Brides and grooms are free to relax while the skilled resort staff attends to every nuptial detail. The Dreams Ultimate Wedding Package covers basic ceremony needs along with thoughtful extras such as hairstyling and makeup for the bride, a live Caribbean music trio and sumptuous couples spa services.
