PUNTA CANA, DR — Tourism remains a cornerstone of the Dominican Republic’s economic development, placing increasing pressure on major hotel chains to raise the bar across all aspects of their service—from infrastructure and entertainment to gastronomy, hygiene, and environmental stewardship.
At Occidental Punta Cana, part of the Barceló Hotel Group, that responsibility is being met with precision and purpose. The resort has fully embraced the evolving expectations of travelers, reinforcing its commitment to excellence, sustainability, and its core identity: a family-centered vacation experience.
From arrival to departure, the hotel’s staff ensures guests feel welcomed and well cared for, reflecting the brand’s philosophy of warm hospitality and attention to detail.
As part of an invitation from Occidental’s executive team, reporters from Listín Diario toured the property and experienced the exclusive Royal Level—an elevated VIP concept within the resort. Royal Level offers premium access to private spaces, personalized service, and luxury amenities, including an exclusive restaurant that does not require reservations.
Guests of the Royal Level enjoy gourmet dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—an increasingly popular feature among modern resort-goers seeking elevated all-inclusive experiences.
