The Dominican Republic welcomed a record number of international tourist arrivals in July. Over 730,000 people visited the island throughout the month, and the trend is likely to continue. The island's year-round warm weather, vast amount of all-inclusives, and world-renowned beaches make it the perfect spot to enjoy a Caribbean vacation. While you could certainly go all out and spend a fortune, there are plenty of options just as luxurious as the higher-cost resort up the street. We have found several all-inclusives that you are sure to love. If traveler reviews are any indication, these resorts will not disappoint.
The prices shown reflect a stay of 7 nights between September 6th and September 13th and are based on two people. If traveling with a larger group, room rates may vary, and there will be additional charges in order to cover their all-inclusive access. Only beachfront resorts with user reviews of 8/10 or higher were considered to ensure you have the best vacation at the best price. Unless otherwise stated, all food and drinks (including alcohol) are included in the nightly price.
Bahia Principe Luxury Samana – $194
User Review: 8.8/10
This 5-star all-inclusive is the most highly rated option under $200 a night by booking.com users, and it's easy to see why. With a private beach, pool overlooking the ocean, onsite spa, and five restaurant and bar options, travelers will have no trouble calling this resort home for a while. And just in case you didn't want to lift a finger for any of that, Butler service is available with your stay at no additional cost.
The resort is adult-only and is an excellent location for couples. For a relaxing day, head to the onsite spa, which offers nearly every service you could imagine. It'll be about the only thing you'll have to pay extra for, but it'll be worth every penny.
