Where is Breezes Punta Cana located?

Breezes Punta Cana Beach Resort has 735 rooms--  including 28 suites--  on Arena Gorda Beach, 20 miles from Punta Cana International Airport on the east side of the Dominican Republic. The drive from the airport is about 25 minutes.

What's special about  Breezes Punta Cana for families?

In 2002, this property became part of the Breezes resorts in the SuperClubs group, along with another Dominican Republic all-inclusive now called Breezes Puerto Plata.  (See reviews of other SuperClubs choices at TWKids: Starfish Jamaica , Breezes Curacao, and Costa do Sauipe in Brazil.)

Breezes resorts have some novelty activities that kids love. Trapeze -- with instruction-- is always a hit; kids also love the rock-climbing wall. (See trapeze and rock-climbing pix.) Also-- if you're willing to lace ice-skates onto little feet-- your offspring will probably have fun trying "ice-skating" on a synthetic surface.

Features at Breezes Resort - Punta Cana include:

  • Mini-Club for ages 4-12, mini-disco at night
  • kiddie pool
  • largest free-form swimming pool in Punta Cana
  •  banana rides, kayaks, water polo, windsurfing, boogie boarding, catamaran sailing with guide 
  • scuba, with instruction (great for teens)
  • golf fee packages at preferential rates at a nearby 18-hole course
  • game room with table games, pool, darts, video games, etc
  • nightly entertainment features the resort's own dance troupe 
  • Dining include Breeze's signature Japanese restaurant, Munahana, which can be very fine indeed. Breezes Punta Cana has Mexican and French restaurants, too.

Breezes resorts frequently have family-friendly promotions that make vacations surprisingly affordable. Price reductions, "Kids Stay, Play and Eat Free", room upgrades-- check what's on offer at  the SuperClubs deals page at TWKids.
