Both of the Paradisus hotels are desirable addresses, but frankly, if forced to choose, we'd opt for the Paradisus Palma Real.

You won't need to upgrade, but if you choose the adults-only Royal Service, you'll get to experience the smashing new contemporary Royal Club lounge and restaurant.
Rough Guide "The top Bávaro resort – slightly more expensive but well worth it, with opulent contemporary architecture, sculpted tropical gardens, luxury suites... and access to the Cocotal golf course."
Star Service "This palatial all-inclusive stands out among the deluxe options in Punta Cana, not least for its gracious, Moorish-inspired contemporary architecture." Full review
