The megaresort is one of the most popular ones in Punta Cana, and the goal of the renovation has been to make it even better. RCD Hotels, the owner of the resort, took advantage of the pause in international travel due to the pandemic to re-think some of the hotel’s amenities.
According to Josefina De Zan, the regional director for sales, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana received major upgrades to practically all of its 1800 rooms. In addition, its restaurants and bars also underwent a makeover. Meanwhile, the casino’s premises are currently being refurbished, including the main entrance.

The restaurant serves world-class dining options that match the theme of the establishment.
To accommodate guests’ changing food preferences, De Zan said that the resort has made a number of changes to its restaurants and bars. One of the biggest novelties is a vegan food option, a growing trend among international travelers who are conscious of climate change.
