We Simply Adore

Even though both properties offer family friendly and adult only luxury services, they have a personality all their own. Paradisus Punta Cana has a more casual, cozy, ‘islandy’ feel with lots of greenery and lush tropical gardens while Paradisus Palma Real has a very modern, sleek, sexy feel still surrounded by the lush tropical gardens.
