Located on Bavaro Beach along the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic, the 5-star, newly renovated Iberostar Punta Cana offers couples and families an unforgettable vacation.

Whether you are off exploring the many sites and charms of the island or relaxing at this all-inclusive resort, take advantage of all it has to offer.

Accommodations. The Iberostar Punta Cana has 427 spacious rooms- 334 standard rooms, 13 family-sized rooms and 80 suites-each designed to exceed customer expectations. Each offers a private balcony with views of either the ocean or garden, and is appointed with luxury amenities, including free Wi-Fi and more.

Dining. Guests of the resort can sample flavors from all over the world with a choice of six specialty and two buffet (Higuey and Hispaniola) restaurants. The flavors of Thailand, Japan and China meet at La Pagoda, while those with a craving for a delicious steak should dine at La Cana Steakhouse. Maria Bonita offers traditional Mexican fare, while La Sibila offers classic French gourmet meals. La Marimba, meanwhile, is the place to go for some of the island's freshest seafood. For casual meals, head to the Star Rock Café or La Cana. The resort also features eight bars and lounges for guests looking to grab a quick poolside drink or enjoy a cocktail before dinner.

Spa. The luxury SPA Sensations provides guests with an unparalleled opportunity to experience a wide variety of purifying water treatments, as well as a host of body and beauty treatments, ranging from massages and reflexology to facials, wraps, exfoliation and mani/pedis. Couples can also enjoy a series of rituals, from the Romantic Asia to the Chocolate Ritual, which includes a chocolate exfoliation, chocolate wrap and body massage with chocolate oil. Couples can even indulge in a milk bath with a Dominican-style hot chocolate to sip. In addition to featuring a Jacuzzi and sauna, the spa also offers guests the chance to experience a Roman Bath, a Bubble bed for a stimulating and anti-inflammatory treatment, a Cold Well meant to stimulate the circulatory system, and a Hamam.

Activities. Golfers will be in heaven during their stay at the Iberostar Punta Cana, thanks to the on-site golf course. Designed by P.B. Dye, the course is a par-72, crosswind, 18-hole course offering players a stunning view and refreshing ocean breeze. Golf lessons are also available for those who are just learning the game or want to improve their stroke. Other activities include a wide range of water sports, pool, a PADI-certified scuba center (additional charge), archery and more. Fitness enthusiasts will enjoy the state-of-the-art health club, yoga, and stretching classes, as well as tennis and a variety of other team and individual sports. For families with young children, the resort offers babysitting services for an additional charge, as well as the Lucy Kids Club for children ages 4 to 12 and the Teenclub, for children between 13 and 17.

Entertainment. Adults have plenty of things to keep them busy from sunup to sundown, thanks to a variety of dance classes and Spanish lessons. The resort comes alive again at night when guests can attend music reviews, hear live musical performances, dance at the DC-6 Discotheque and test their luck at the casino.
