Best Budget-Friendly Punta Cana Honeymoon Resort Options

Some resort options – including the all-inclusive resorts – come with a bigger price tag. Sometimes these totals are too expensive, but that shouldn’t keep you from honeymooning in Punta Cana. Fortunately, there are more budget-friendly options to allow you to enjoy the landscape, food, and culture of Punta Cana on a budget.

When to Honeymoon in Punta Cana

The resort town is a tropical, slightly windy destination with flourishing ocean and natural marine pools. While the weather is constant throughout the year, it tends to get hot and humid in summer. 

That’s why most tourists look to visit Punta Cana between December and April. This is considered the peak travel season for Punta Cana because the temperatures are more comfortable and less rain. Most travelers are looking to experience Punta Cana in the best season and get away from colder temperatures in other parts of the world.

If you’re looking to stay away from larger crowds, then it’s better to visit Punta Cana during the shoulder season – May through November. Temperatures are still relatively the same, but there is a greater risk of rain showers. These rain showers can flare up quickly, but they usually stop just as quickly.

The remainder of the year – June through November – is considered the low season, so tourist crowds are very small. This time of year is often hotter, more humid, and has an increased risk of hurricanes. Hurricanes are most active in the area in late August into September.

Places to Visit During Your Honeymoon in Punta Cana

While Punta Cana is known for its gorgeous beaches, there are plenty of other activities to enjoy. In fact, there are activities for sightseeing and adventuring so no matter what your taste, you can find something exciting just around the corner.

Manati Park

Manati Park is an interactive zoo where you can catch glimpses of vividly-colored fish, swim with dolphins, feed horses, and watch exotic birds spread their wings. There are immaculate gardens and orchids blooming with tropical plants. If you wish to buy each other a memorable token of love from your honeymoon, check out the souvenir shops that sell local crafts.

Bavaro Runners

Bavaro Runners is one of the best cultural excursions that allow you to mingle with locals, visit Dominican houses and get to see how the locals live, get a chance to see cocoa, coffee, and sugarcane plantations, and ride a horse to the beach.

Saona Island

Hop on to a catamaran and sail together to this quiet isle that lies off the southeastern tip of the Dominican Republic. The nature reserve boasts colorful coral reefs, dense mangroves, and beaches. Relax under the shade of a palm tree, explore the streets of Mano Juan, and observe the pre-Columbian rock art of the Cave of Cotubanama.

Altos de Chavon

Altos de Chavon is designed to resemble a 16th-century Mediterranean town. Sitting atop the peak of a hill, it overlooks the rushing water of Chavon Water. The town has a huge amphitheater, an archaeological museum, several arts and crafts workshops, art galleries, and several restaurants.

Things to Do in Punta Cana

There is a good reason Punta Cana is rated as one of the top destinations among honeymooners. The resort town allows you to lavishly rest in the lap of luxury and at the same time takes you on an adrenaline-rushing adventure. 

From strolling on a beach under the star-stricken skies at night to taking a revitalizing plunge into a marine pool, try out different activities and connect with your spouse on a deeper level!

Sailing and Snorkeling on Small-Group Catamaran Tours

Ladies and gentlemen, all aboard! Grab your favorite swimsuits and hop onto a fun-filled catamaran tour. Sail through the turquoise waters, take warm dips in marine pools, snorkel at Cabeza De to meet the underwater creatures, watch the glorious sunset together and relish refreshing drinks and snacks anchored at a sandbar. The boat has hammocks where you can lie together, watch the cloudy skies, and feel the warm breeze against your face.

If you wish to be completely isolated, go for an aquatic tour. Ride the two-passenger speedboat, take a dive into the water, explore the spectacular barrier reef, and transverse the seashore in utter privacy.

iHeartDR Adventure Tours

Are you two looking for a heart-racing opportunity? iHeartDR has a wide range of personalized tours. Go on cave expeditions, explore the jungles on a jeep, dare to try cliff diving into a splendid lagoon, ride horses, surf the waves, and fly through tree-tops via zipline canopy tours. They offer several packages for couples.

Helicopter Tours

Have a chance to panoramically view Punta Cana’s fine coastlines from high above in the sky. The unbroken vistas of swaying palm trees, silvery beaches, and extensive golf courses will leave you awestruck. Design your tour according to your liking and budget. Flight duration ranges from 10 to 40 minutes.

Jarabacoa White Water Rafting

Fly to Jarabacoa and visit the Dominican Republic’s magnificent Central Mountain Range, which is also the tallest one in the Caribbean. Towering 1700 feet above sea level, there are hidden gems like pine forests, rivers, and some of the highest peaks. Brave the rapidly flowing rivers during white water rafting in the Land of Waters, visit the Papillon Garden, a colorful butterfly conservatory, and explore the mountainous town.

Punta Cana Honeymoon: What to Pack

Because Punta Cana is a tropical destination, you’ll want to make sure you pack the right clothing and sun protection to keep you comfortable no matter what time of day or activity you’re partaking in.

We recommend you pack light, loose-fitting cotton clothes and comfortable shoes. You’ll also want to include plenty of sun-protective items – a wide-brimmed hat, lightweight long-sleeved shirts, and pants. And of course, don’t forget your swimsuits to enjoy the water activities or just lounge on the beach.

Things to Know Before Your Honeymoon

Traveling to a different country can be a little intimidating – especially if you haven’t been on a trip like that before. Make your Punta Cana romantic getaway easier with the following tips!

1. US Dollars are accepted at almost all tourist-oriented spots. Try to carry small bills with you.
2. Dress in comfortable, breathable clothes.
3. Respect the local customs. It is a strict Catholic area and nudity on the beaches is a big no.
4. Remember to tip your servers!
5. Try to eat ‘authentic’ Dominican food at local restaurants. It might not be available at resorts.

Punta Cana is a great destination for a romantic and relaxing honeymoon. As you start planning, consider some of those helpful tips and find the right fit for that honeymoon destination.

What people say about us

We worked with Mike to plan our perfect honeymoon in Greece — he was amazing the whole way through and put together a trip we will cherish for our lifetime.

He was thoughtful with our suggestions, and provided some of his own without every pushing us. He stayed within our budgetary means but made it feel like we had a budget twice the size. 

Alex

Dan and Michelle were such a joy to work with! They really made our trip and cruise successful. Based on our needs they were able to help us identify and schedule what side trips and activities would best suit our interests.

After this trip I will be using a travel agent for future vacations…just can’t wait for the next one they help us plan!

Elizabeth

Honeymoon Always has been fantastic- our trips were 1000% better because of their help. The first time we used them we wanted to have a fun trip with some cultural experiences, good food, not too packed, and for a good price. It was fantastic and now we've used them for several trips in Europe, Central America, and the Caribbean. Each trip was so different but they were able to make each one special and unique to our needs.
