Tortuga Bay Punta Cana Resort & Club is the latest upscale resort to be named one of the best in the Caribbean. The lavish property was recently ranked the 5th top property in the Caribbean by the U.S. News & World Report based on several key factors. The highly sought-after resort has received multiple awards in the past and is considered by many to be the best on the tropical island thanks to its private villas, exclusive VIP service, and unmatched amenities.

In its detailed review of the high-end, 30-room resort, U.S. News describes Tortuga Bay as one of the most stylish properties in the country. It also notes the resort’s impressively designed rooms and on-site grounds, most of which are the work of Oscar de la Renta, a local fashion icon who made a name for himself both at home and abroad. While touting the property’s overall excellent amenities and rooms, U.S News also highlighted the high cost of the on-site private dining, which can easily add a few hundred dollars per person just for meals.

While there are several 5-star resorts in Punta Cana – including the famed Sanctuary Cap Cana — few, if any, can match the distinctive service offered by Tortuga Bay. With its focus on providing a high-end VIP experience to travelers, each guest is assigned a villa manager to look after them during their stay.

Guests at the luxurious 5-star resort can enjoy some of the finest amenities available in the tropical country. Across the 1,500-acre property, world-class golf courses, tasty private dining options, and a pampering spa all await sun-seeking travelers. Despite its large size, there are only 30 suites on the property, guaranteeing that every guest is well looked after by Tortuga Bay’s welcoming staff.

Each of the property’s suites is impeccably designed, with airy, white decor that perfectly compliments the green and blue hues of the tropical gardens and ocean. Travelers can choose from 4 distinct room categories, each offering unique levels of luxury and comfort. The smallest 105-square-metre Ocean View Suite is ideal for couples and honeymooners. Meanwhile, the larger 310-square-meter two-bedroom beachfront suites accommodate up to six guests – a perfect choice for families or friends.
