Punta Cana is one of those destinations that just works with kids: miles of white sand on Bávaro Beach, a warm, calm sea almost all year round, and resorts designed to take the hassle out of logistics. Our family hotels in Punta Cana, by Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts, combine all-inclusive, activities for every age and services designed so that adults can rest too. The idea is simple: arrive, drop your bags and not worry about a thing until it's time to go home.

Services and Activities for Families, Kids and Parents
A good family hotel in Punta Cana isn't just a big room: it's an ecosystem of activities that adapts to your children's ages. These are the building blocks of the experience at our resorts:
Kids' Clubs and Children's Programmes
Here, kids are the stars of the show. We have dedicated spaces for each age group, professional instructors and a daily programme designed so they have fun, make friends and come back to the room exhausted.
Baby Club (ages 1 to 3): run by our professional childcare team, right next to the Mini Club. A main room with a stimulating play area and an adjoining room with cots for nap time.
Mini Club (ages 4 to 12): an arts and crafts room, a children's pool and a pirate-themed castle, among other facilities designed just for them.
Black & White Junior Club (teens): a youth club with pool, table tennis, air hockey, chess and more, so they can do their own thing without depending on the grown-ups.
Kids can also sign up for sailing, diving, dance, mini golf or yoga workshops
Pools, Water Parks and Beach
In Punta Cana, water sets the rhythm of the day. From the water park slide to the resort's connected pools, and from there to the white sand of Bávaro, everything is just steps away. You can spend the morning on the beach, have lunch without changing and get back in the water without leaving the complex.
Services Designed for Parents
A well-designed family hotel looks after the grown-ups too. While the kids are at the club, you have real time to switch off:
Zentropia Palladium Spa & Wellness: a hydrotherapy circuit, massages and treatments to truly unwind.
Specialty restaurants: more than 30 restaurants and bars across the complex, so you can try something different every night without leaving the resort.
Adults-only areas and experiences within the resort, for couple time without giving up the family plan.
Family Selection
Within the Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts complex in Bávaro you'll find Family Selection at Grand Palladium Select Bávaro, a hotel designed for families looking for a more personalised, premium experience while still enjoying the resort atmosphere.
Guests enjoy private check-in, a butler service before and during their stay, the Family Boss programme for kids (welcome gifts, a bubble bath with balloons, milk and cookies before bed…) and access to the facilities across the whole complex. Adults also get exclusive access to TRS Turquesa Hotel.
