An all-suite Punta Cana resort featuring spacious suites with whirlpool tubs, quality buffets, and attentive service.
The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
Paradisus Grand Cana is an all-inclusive, family-friendly resort in Punta Cana composed entirely of suites. Guests regularly praise the oversized accommodations with comfortable pillow-top beds, deep soaking tubs, and attentive poolside service. The dining selection is another strong point, particularly a buffet featuring lobster and freshly squeezed juices. However, the property is set back from the beach, which means most suites overlook resort grounds rather than the ocean, and some guests note that Wi-Fi speeds could use a boost. 71013

Score breakdown
How the 88/100 is built, category by category — each one with the strongest thing travelers actually said, and the source it came from.
Bathroom
92- “The bedroom was its own room and the bathroom was very spacious with a large shower, two closets, two "getting ready" areas and a large soaking tub.” 13
- “And those whirlpool tubs, they're more important than you might think. After a full day in the sun and ocean, being able to soak in a real tub changes everything. A shower gets the job done, but a whirlpool lets you actually relax and reset.” 42:08
Food
94- “The food at this resort is top notch - especially for an all inclusive. There is one buffet and several restaurants with plenty of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.” 13
- “The gourmet corner is your paradise. Made to order omelets that can make a French chef weep. Fresh fruits so vibrant they look like they've been painted, and vegetables that taste like they were picked mere moments ago.” 122:49
Location
90- “Location absolutely spectacular. You're just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Coco Golf and Country Club, downtown Puntaana, and the stunning Bavaro Beach.” 126:02
- “Paradisus Grand Cana impresses with its very compact design - all amenities are within 900 feet of each other, except the beach, which is about half a mile away, accessible either by a pleasant 10-15 minute walk through the resort grounds or a quick 2-minute trolley train ride.” 3
Room
93- “It could not have been easier. Our room was incredible - we booked a one bedroom master suite and ended up getting a pool view room, which was amazing!” 13
- “With suite sizes ranging from a comfortable 538 to a mind-blowing 1,614 square ft, you'll have more than enough room to practice your salsa moves, do a morning yoga session, or simply perfect the art of doing absolutely nothing.” 121:44
Service
86- “What really sets this resort apart is the level of service - all of the staff we encountered were friendly, professional, and would go out of their way to make sure that we were taken care of.” 13
- “"What left the most lasting impression about Paradisus Grand Cana - All Suites were the people! Every member of the staff that I encountered was beyond gracious, friendly, accommodating, and made us feel like we were guests in their home," said Erica Alhorn, publisher of Macaroni KID Wheaton, Ill.” 2
Bed & Sleep
90- “The pillow top bed looks so inviting it could make a cloud feel jealous.” 120:42

- “Guests rave about everything from the immaculate cleanliness to the staff that treats you like family.” On camera126:41
- “This is a destination where luxury meets family-friendly warmth, where every day is an adventure, and where you're treated like part of the family. It's not just the beautiful beach, the wonderful rooms, or the variety of activities that make this resort special.” 2
- “"I loved our room. It just felt so homey," she said, noting the turndown service each night was especially a nice touch. "Chocolate on my pillow, cold water on my nightstand, slippers at the base of the bed ... Walking into that was like a mental sigh of relief at the end of a day."” 2
- “What really sets this resort apart is the level of service - all of the staff we encountered were friendly, professional, and would go out of their way to make sure that we were taken care of.” 13
- “"What left the most lasting impression about Paradisus Grand Cana - All Suites were the people! Every member of the staff that I encountered was beyond gracious, friendly, accommodating, and made us feel like we were guests in their home," said Erica Alhorn, publisher of Macaroni KID Wheaton, Ill.” 2
- “Drink service at the pool and at the beach is prompt for the most part, and there's rarely a wait if approaching the bar yourself.” 1
- “And yes, there's drink service - all included with your stay, of course. Our rooms were spacious, well organized, and stocked with snacks and drinks, all part of the all-inclusive experience.” 2
- “The spa staff consists of trained professionals who take time to understand individual needs and preferences, ensuring that each treatment feels personalized rather than routine.” On camera118:07
- “Service-wise, all the employees and staff members were perfect. From the reception desk to the beach attendants, all the employees were friendly and attentive. They really do go out of their way to ensure you have a pleasant stay.” 7
- “Considering that you get a pretty good service and full amenities when booking a regular room at Paradisus Grand Cana, the upgrade is not 100% necessary in my opinion.” 3
- “Other publishers loved the outdoor patios, complete with a large tub for outdoor bathing, a big dining area perfect for game nights, room service, or just relaxing, and the super comfy beds that made every night's sleep a delight.” 2
- “Naos, the other free buffet restaurant, is delicious as well. It offers an open air seating area with the same selections as Gabi Beach.” 7
- “serving both lunch and dinner with a relaxed dress code that welcomes resort wear. However, the true culinary crown jewel is Passion by Martin Bareris Sataguay, a signature restaurant that brings Michelin starred excellence to the Caribbean.” On camera113:14
- “The culinary landscape at Paradise's Grand Kana reads like a food lover's dream with dining options that span from casual beachside grilling to worldclass fine dining experiences.” On camera112:50
- “Paradisus Grand Cana is an upscale resort that shines for its excellent food offerings and compact, convenient design.” 3
- “After dinner, many guests flock to the trendy Gabi Beach Bar, which lights up at night -- even the futuristic beach chairs glow -- for dancing and chilling with cocktails prepared by charismatic bartenders.” 1
- “At night, guests often dress up and head to the impressive restaurants or quality buffet spreads that are mostly located near the beach and pool area.” 1
- “The food is decent for an all-inclusive, though not necessarily the main reason to choose this resort.” 10
- “We had dinner at Mangú, which was okay but nothing to write home about - even though it probably will be significantly better once you travel and read this review, as they recently (re-)inaugurated the Mangú restaurant with a well-known local chef, Leandro Diaz.” 3
- “The gourmet corner is your paradise. Made to order omelets that can make a French chef weep. Fresh fruits so vibrant they look like they've been painted, and vegetables that taste like they were picked mere moments ago.” On camera122:49
- “Seafood lovers, prepare to meet your match at Mara's restaurant. Where the catch of the day is so fresh, the fish practically swim onto your plate.” On camera122:36
- “And the buffet, sometimes an overlooked and tired part of a resort dining experience, was a shining star here, with made-to-order omelets, fresh fruits and vegetables, and a smoothie bar.” 2
- “The Paradisus brand has a few things that make its resorts stand out, including its food and beverage program and the hallmark charismatic service. This high level of service can be felt through most areas of this large property -- especially from those working in the restaurants and bars.” 1
- “The Gabi Beach Restaurant (one of the two free buffet restaurants) is actually really good. The restaurant is right on the beach and offers a wide selection for breakfast, lunch and dinner.” 7
- “Passion (adults only), from a Michelin-starred Spanish chef, and La Palapa (located on the beach), are not included in the normal rate but are worth a splurge (reservations should be made in advance).” 1
- “The main buffet (Origen Gastro Hall) is one of the best buffets we have ever seen in Punta Cana. It combines an intimate vibe with high-quality food, such as lobster, mussels, giant prawns and scallops served, for example.” 3
- “The food at this resort is top notch - especially for an all inclusive. There is one buffet and several restaurants with plenty of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.” 13
- “The culinary journey at Paradisus Grand Cana - All Suites was a highlight, with diverse dining options that catered to every palate in our group, from those with allergies to those who don't eat meat.” 2
- “Bavaro restaurant is like a world tour for your taste buds. Serving up international cuisine with a local twist that'll make your pallet do a happy dance.” On camera122:26
- “Restaurant options are unique and sophisticated for an all-inclusive resort -- even the buffet spreads contain a range of quality items to suit picky and well-traveled eaters.” 1
- “Modern spacious suites, sumptuous buffets (yes, this is no marketing bla bla - the buffet here is outstanding) and a compact resort with selected activities and entertainment - that's what you can expect at Paradisus Grand Cana.” 3
- “Also, the Mangú breakfast (exclusively for Family Concierge guests) was very good and recommendable if you prefer an à-la-carte breakfast over buffet food.” 3
- “What was more impressive was the à-la-carte lunch at Alula, where we had some amazing fresh fish and a super creative vegetarian paella (be careful, it's huge!!) - and all of this with good drinks and beachfront / ocean view - can a resort holiday in Punta Cana get any better?” 3
- “Pack your sunscreen, your sense of adventure, and maybe an extra pair of stretchy pants for all that delicious food.” On camera127:30
- “Most resorts in Punta Cana only offer 1 buffet for lunch and maybe a beach snack. You can have dinner at a Peruvian restaurant (Machu), which features delicious fresh Ceviche and other Latin American dishes” 3
- “What truly sets this resort apart is its outstanding culinary offering. The buffet alone features premium dishes such as lobster, complemented by four distinct lunch venues to satisfy all tastes.” 3
- “We stayed in a regular suite (but with Family Concierge amenities) and loved the extremely spacious design, the very comfortable beds, the sun loungers on the balcony, as well as some of the thoughtful in-room touches like natural mosquito repellent and complimentary snacks.” 3
- “The junior suite garden view serves as the entry-level option, but calling it entry- level feels almost insulting given its generous size and thoughtful amenities.” On camera111:17
- “The large wall to ceiling windows let in a lot of natural lighting and open up to the balcony seating area. Our room had a view of the resort. Nothing special.” 7
- “Rooms are contemporary and well-outfitted with free minibars, sofa beds, and furnished balconies - but the majority overlook the garden.” 1
- “What sets this place apart from countless other Caribbean resorts is its commitment to providing exclusively sweet style accommodations, ensuring every guest enjoys spacious living areas that feel more like a home away from home rather than a cramp hotel room.” On camera110:20
- “Both types of suites treat the terrace as real living space, not just a token balcony. In the Caribbean, you can actually use that outdoor area for a good chunk of the day. Mornings and evenings get so much better when you can sit outside comfortably instead of squeezing onto a tiny balcony with nowhere to put your plate.” On camera41:54
- “The layout is also very manageable; nothing feels far away, which makes a big difference when travelling with kids.” 10
- “With suite sizes ranging from a comfortable 538 to a mind-blowing 1,614 square ft, you'll have more than enough room to practice your salsa moves, do a morning yoga session, or simply perfect the art of doing absolutely nothing.” On camera121:44
- “One of the standout features of Paradisus Grand Cana is the suite-style accommodations, which makes a big difference when travelling as a family” 10
- “Check-in was quick and easy and we were assigned room 2176, a junior suite with a garden view, for the weekend.” 7
- “It could not have been easier. Our room was incredible - we booked a one bedroom master suite and ended up getting a pool view room, which was amazing!” 13
- “Rooms at Paradisus Grand Cana are very modern and extremely spacious, with the smallest category being the regular Suite at approximately 800 square feet.” 3
- “Here, that whole game is off the table. You're already starting with a suite that has separate living and sleeping areas, no matter which option you pick. So, right from the start, you're getting space and layout that would normally cost you a lot more at a typical resort.” On camera40:13
- “The pillow top bed looks so inviting it could make a cloud feel jealous.” On camera120:42
- “Location absolutely spectacular. You're just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Coco Golf and Country Club, downtown Puntaana, and the stunning Bavaro Beach.” On camera126:02
- “Paradisus Grand Cana impresses with its very compact design - all amenities are within 900 feet of each other, except the beach, which is about half a mile away, accessible either by a pleasant 10-15 minute walk through the resort grounds or a quick 2-minute trolley train ride.” 3
- “The resort is in Punta Cana and Cortecito beach district is about 2 and 1/2 km away. Cortecito is more of a local beach area, so it feels different from the resort beaches. You get to see how people who actually live here use the coastline. Having that nearby gives you somewhere to go when the resort starts feeling a little repetitive.” On camera42:56
- “If you want to reach the central Corales area with plenty of restaurants, nightlife and infrastructure for locals and tourists, you just have to walk along the beach for approximately 15 minutes, hence the location of Paradisus Grand Cana is very central.” 3
- “The bedroom was its own room and the bathroom was very spacious with a large shower, two closets, two "getting ready" areas and a large soaking tub.” 13
- “And those whirlpool tubs, they're more important than you might think. After a full day in the sun and ocean, being able to soak in a real tub changes everything. A shower gets the job done, but a whirlpool lets you actually relax and reset.” On camera42:08
- “Unfortunately, the resort is set back from the beach, so most rooms have garden views instead of overlooking the ocean.” 1
