Who fits where at Majestic Colonial Punta Cana
All 1 category, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.



| Suite | Occupancy | Bedrooms |
|---|---|---|
| One Bedroom Suite with Jacuzzi | Not published | 1 bedroom |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.
