Bakit Ito Minamahal ng Mga Tao

- Stunning 80-meter infinity pool and private beach club
- Modern, bold design with swim-up suites and private plunge pools
Mabilis na Sumisid: It's a gorgeous, energetic property that breaks the all-inclusive mold, but inconsistent food and a loud party vibe mean it's not the quietest retreat.
Sinuri ng @mllejolain: My stay at the W Punta Cana was pure luxury. Dropping my bags and walking out to my own private plunge pool surrounded by lush gardens was unforgettable. The freestanding tub and massive king bed made it feel like an exclusive retreat. Highly recommend for a romantic escape!

Kalinisan & Pagpapanatili
7.5
- Housekeeping: Generally good, but some guests report inconsistent daily service, missed turndowns, and having to request fresh towels multiple times.
- Bathroom hygiene: Modern and beautiful design, but a few reports mention mold in the grout due to lack of exhaust fans and occasional sewage smells from the water.
- Maintenance: Being a new resort, there are some growing pains like cracked toilet handles, peeling paint in showers, and occasional AC leaks.
- Linens & towels: Beds feature premium, fresh linens and heavenly mattresses, though pool towels can sometimes run out during peak hours.
- Odors & scents: The lobby and rooms usually smell fresh, but the beach can occasionally smell of seaweed (sargassum) and some tap water has a sulfur odor.

It's located in Uvero Alto, about a 45 to 60-minute drive from Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ).

No, W eschews the traditional buffet for 'Trade Market,' an action-packed food hall with made-to-order stations.

Do the rooms have private pools?
Many of the 340 rooms feature either a private plunge pool or swim-up access.
