Why a Villa Rental at Punta Cana Resort & Club Is Ideal for Families and Groups
When my family decided on a trip to the Dominican Republic, we knew we wanted space to spread out, a bit of luxury, and activities for everyone — from golf lovers to adventurous kids. A private villa rental inside the exclusive Punta Cana Resort & Club turned out to be the perfect solution.
Here’s a look at why it worked so well for our multigenerational group — and why I often recommend villa stays for family travel.
Space, Privacy, and Comfort for Every Generation
With multiple bedrooms and our own private pool, everyone in our group could enjoy downtime at their own pace. Mornings were relaxed: we grabbed easy breakfasts in the kitchen, enjoyed coffee prepared by our housekeeper, and eased into the day.
The kids loved having a pool just steps from their rooms, while my dad could head out early for golf without disturbing the rest of us.
Morning dips in our private villa pool — no crowds, no fighting for chairs, no stress!
Inside Punta Cana Resort & Club: So Much to Do, All Close By
Punta Cana Resort & Club is massive, beautifully maintained, and offers everything you need for a memorable trip without ever leaving the grounds.
✔️ 2 Championship Golf Courses — including La Cana and Corales, both offering stunning oceanfront holes (and plenty of tee times for our family’s golf lovers)
✔️ Multiple Beach Clubs — like Playa Blanca and La Cana Beach Club, where we spent our days relaxing, swimming, and enjoying seaside lunches
✔️ 9+ Restaurants & Bars — from casual beachfront grills to fine dining options, all accessible by a quick golf cart ride
✔️ Ecological Preserve — the Ojos Indígenas reserve, where we spent a magical afternoon jumping into fresh water lagoons
✔️ Other Activities — tennis courts, spa services, watersports, and even horseback riding
One thing we loved? We could access everything within the resort by golf cart — zipping around from the villa to the beach, restaurants, or activities. And everywhere we went, we felt completely safe and well cared for.
Personalized Service That Made Our Trip Effortless
One of the big perks of booking a villa through a trusted travel advisor (instead of Airbnb or random listings) is the on-the-ground service.
We had a designated concierge who arranged everything for us, including:
Transportation for off-site excursions
Dinner reservations at resort restaurants
Horseback riding lessons for my sister and me (a trip highlight!)
Our housekeeper not only made delicious dinners a few nights but also surprised us with sweet treats and had fresh coffee ready each morning. That personal touch made the trip feel extra special.
Day Trips Worth Doing: Monkeyland & More
Even with so much to do at the resort, we ventured out for a half-day trip to Monkeyland, which we combined with visits to a local coffee and cacao plantation.
Feeding the friendly squirrel monkeys was a hit with the kids, and the plantation tour gave us a taste (literally!) of Dominican culture and flavors.
Why I Recommend Villas for Family and Group Travel
After experiencing this trip, I can confidently say that a villa rental offers the best of both worlds:
The privacy and space of a home
The service and amenities of a resort
Access to activities for every age
For multigenerational families, it’s a stress-free way to travel — no coordinating multiple hotel rooms, no crowds, and no surprises. Everything is personalized, seamless, and safe.
