American Travelers Love This Caribbean Destination – Projected to Grow Faster Than Ever
American travelers love the Dominican Republic, which is the most popular destination in the Caribbean – by far. According to the Caribbean Journal, the Dominican Republic is projecting that it will receive more than 12 million tourists in 2024, setting record-breaking visitor numbers yet again this year. The steady growth in visitor numbers means there is a growing number of resorts to choose from, with groups like Wyndham Hotels & Resorts planning new properties and expanding its all-inclusive offerings in some of the country’s most sought-after destinations.
Dreamy Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic has long been known for its stunning white sand beaches and impressive resorts offering both family-friendly and adult-only all-inclusive options for travelers. With 16 hotels and resorts with over 5,000 rooms across the country, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is a leader in creating the travel experiences visitors seek in the Dominican Republic.
Viva V Samaná by Wyndham
The country’s most well-known beach destination is Punta Cana, where the world-famous Bávaro Beach stretches for miles along calm, crystalline waters. However, there are an increasing number of beach destinations to consider in the country, including the less-crowded but perhaps even more stunning Samaná peninsula. Pictured here, Viva V Samaná by Wyndham is located in the laid-back beach town of Las Terrenas in Samaná, an adults-only all-inclusive along one of the country’s most beautiful beaches.
Experience Samaná
The best luxury of a stay in the Dominican Republic is always the proximity to the beautiful beachfront the country is so famous for. Viva V Samaná by Wyndham is located along one of the country’s best “hidden gem” beaches for an adults-only experience in a destination you have to see to believe.
Wyndham Alltra Samaná
Wyndham also offers resorts that are family-friendly, with multigenerational travel being one of the most noteworthy travel trends of the last several years. Just down the coast of the Samaná peninsula from Viva V Samaná by Wyndham is Wyndham Alltra Samaná, one of the brand’s many family-friendly all-inclusive resorts in the Dominican Republic.
Something For Everyone
Located in sunny, secluded Las Galeras, it’s set on the pristine white sands of Javo Beach La Playita and has plenty of spaces and services that keep family in mind, from a children’s pool and play area to babysitting services and diverse cuisine options.
Grand Palladium Punta Cana, All Inclusive Resort & Spa
While there are more tempting beach resort towns to choose from than ever in the Dominican Republic, the white sands of Bávaro Beach in Punta Cana continue to be the most popular destination. One of Wyndham’s most impressive properties, the all-inclusive Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa, awaits on an impressive stretch of beachfront.
Family Friendly Getaway
This family-friendly, all-inclusive resort features 582 rooms and suites and is popular with everyone from families traveling together to couples and groups of family and friends.
Relax and Unwind
The resort also features a luxurious spa and wellness center offering an extensive menu of treatments and experiences like hydrotherapy, massages, and even treatments for kids. Spaces like a sauna, steam room, and even a unique ice room are just the start of its memorable features.
Stay Active
The expansive resort property also offers plenty of space for sports and activities, ranging from a state-of-the-art gym and fitness center to sports courts and endless opportunities for watersports on the beachfront. Activities and classes will keep the whole family occupied for hours.
Bávaro Beach Beauty
Though the stunning beaches, calm seas, and sunny skies are what draw visitors to the Dominican Republic, the warm welcome and plentiful amenities of the island nation’s resorts are what so often keep them coming back year after year.
TRS Cap Cana Waterfront & Marina Hotel
Just south of Punta Cana, the area of Cap Cana is known as one of the country’s most beloved and exclusive beach destinations. It’s home to some of the island’s most luxurious resorts, with both family-friendly and adults-only spots to choose from, including TRS Cap Cana Waterfront & Marina Hotel, one of the sparkling jewels among Wyndham resorts in the Dominican Republic.
Exclusive Cap Cana
This adults-only all-inclusive resort features just 113 luxury suites, giving an intimate boutique vibe to the property. Luxurious amenities at this seaside sanctuary include stunning ocean and marina views from every room, and butler service standard for every guest.
A Culinary Experience
The property offers nine different a la carte and self-service restaurants, cafes, and bars, offering delicious dining options throughout the day from a variety of different culinary inspirations and styles.
White Sands and Ocean Views
The property’s white sand beach, exclusive marina, and manicured grounds make for a memorable stay in one of the Dominican Republic’s most exclusive areas.
Bienvenidos a la República Dominicana
With Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ expansion in the Dominican Republic, with new properties planned and expanded all-inclusive offerings in the pipeline, there are even more ways to enjoy an all-inclusive stay along some of the country’s most stunning shores. For the estimated twelve million visitors headed to the Dominican Republic this year, this news deserves to be celebrated—on the beach, with a cocktail in hand, of course.
