How this ranking works
Every list on this site uses the same resorts, with the all-inclusive fine print read so you don't have to. The order weighs verified guest ratings, what's genuinely included at the base rate, and how each property performs on the thing this list is about: here, dominican republic swim-up suites.
The seal next to a resort is its Palmprint: a 0 to 10 grade for how well it delivers on this list's promise, the same mark you'll find on its full profile. The details of what we weigh, and what disqualifies a resort outright, live in how we score. Lists are re-reviewed as ratings and policies change; this one was last checked October 2026.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the Dominican Republic list longer than the Punta Cana list?
Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana is open, records a swim-up suite, and sits at Playa Macao. It is outside the Punta Cana guide's match and inside the country guide. That is the extra resort.
