Butler service, free Wi-Fi

Rating (by reviews): 4.1
If you prefer to relax on a private beach, then with the kids go to the hotel Majestic Elegance Punta Cana. The uncrowded beach area with soft sand, clear water and nearby buoys is only 7 minutes walk from the hotel. The complex is wonderfully thought out family vacation, so every day there is a children's center and an outdoor gaming club. Going on a trip to the Dominican Republic, you can leave the child with a professional nanny.
An amusement park is open close to the Majestic Elegance complex, where you can have fun and free time for the whole family. Keep in mind that all the animation is voiced in Spanish or English, but this does not really matter, because the events are fun and interesting for everyone. If necessary, a four-poster cot can be installed in the room (for a fee). Minuses: there is no separate menu for children, pets are not allowed.
9 Majestic Colonial Punta Cana 5 *
SPA treatments, massage room
On the map: Punta Cana, Playa Bavaro
Rating (by reviews): 4.2
The best complex Majestic Colonial Punta Cana is located on the coastline of a beach with high waves, so swimming with young children is quite problematic. We recommend spending time at one of 7 pools, which differ from each other in depth. There is a playground for children with a large number of slides, a climbing wall and a huge game lock. Animators work every day, organizing fun outdoor games for children and entertaining competitions with prizes.
Hotel Majestic Colonial has 7 restaurants and cafés offering international cuisine. In the menu of each of them you can find tasty and healthy dishes for children. The elegant rooms are equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable family holiday: a separate seating area, bathtubs with hydromassage function and daily updated toiletries. Adults can have a great time in the SPA center, gym or one of the 11 bars with live music. Advantages: funny animation, very sweet fruits, a wide selection of fresh juices. In the reviews, tourists note that childcare services for children are not included in the price, so they need to be paid separately.

In one of the 6 restaurants in the complex you can order dishes made from fresh vegetables and fruits for kids. The hotel’s facilities include a massage parlor, a casino with a large number of slot machines and a golf course. The complex is fully adapted for family holidays.
