Top 10 Family All-Inclusive Resorts in the Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is arguably the best family all-inclusive value on the planet: huge properties with real kids' clubs, water parks, and family suites, at nightly rates that would buy a standard room elsewhere in the Caribbean. Punta Cana's long, shallow-entry beaches do half the work, and the short-haul flights from the U.S. East Coast do the rest.

Every resort below welcomes children and runs genuine kids' programming — we rank on the details parents actually ask about: supervised clubs, pools you can relax beside, family room layouts, and dining a picky eater survives. Tap through for each resort's family score and the included-vs-extra picture.

Frequently asked questions

Do Punta Cana resorts have good kids' clubs?

The big family resorts do — supervised programming by age group, often splash parks and teen zones too. Quality varies, which is exactly what the family score on each card reflects; the resort pages note age ranges and hours.
