Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana Resort & Spa 

Adventure and family-focused luxury

A postcard-perfect Caribbean oasis with an ocean outlook and plenty to see, do and explore.

Dreams Macao Beach is here to ‘wow’ with thrills and spills at every turn. Adventurers, get your thrill-fill as you ride the winding slides of the resort waterpark. Alternatively, if you prefer a go-slow vibe, make a beeline for the lazy river. There’s also a kids’ club and exclusive Core Zone Teens Club to keep the young ones entertained. The soft white sands of Macao Beach call for barefoot strolls, while luscious green gardens provide a wonderfully tropical backdrop. Head to the Dreams Spa with its healing hydrotherapy tub, cold plunge, sauna and pool plus a menu of premium treatments.

Head to the spa for massages, facials, manicures and pedicures. There are eight single treatment cabins and four double cabins with hydrotherapy tubs. Journey through the hydrotherapy circuit where you can take a cold plunge, have a foot bath and sauna.

Enjoy a game of tennis or volleyball, take lessons in Spanish, join a dance class or enjoy the daily schedule of entertainment at the resort. Experience the cultural heritage of the Dominican Republic with a day trip to the capital, Santo Domingo.

There are four swimming pools and an impressive waterpark with racer slides and a lazy river. Spend a day on the palm-fringed beach or take a boat trip to the pristine sands and turquoise waters of Saona Island. Scuba diving can also be arranged.

Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana has Preferred by NatureTM certification with a number of initiatives to protect the biodiversity of the area, preserve the local cultural heritage and improve the sustainable livelihoods of their community. They sponsor a local school, contribute to wildlife care at the Albergue S.O.S Foundation and are involved in the reconstruction of the El Macao mangroves.

The Explorers’ Club looks after children aged from 3 to 12 years, whilst teenagers can make new friends at the Core Zone Teens Club. There’s a dedicated children’s pool where you can relax on a lounger while they splash around; however, for more memory-making time together, semi-competitive races down adrenaline-inducing slides and slower moments on the lazy river head to the waterpark.

Depending on the suite you choose, you can request interconnecting rooms but if you all want to be sharing the same space, we recommend the Preferred Club Two-Bedroom Villa. As well as plenty of space (which includes a large living space) and a private plunge pool to cool off in, it’s within easy reach of the waterpark.
