 "A coral reef near the shore makes for exceptional snorkeling and diving. There's also a minigolf course, soccer fields, and a full plate of organized activities, including a good kids club." Full review

If guests so choose, they have access to the facilities of the other two properties (Grand Palladium Royal and Punta Cana resorts), adding to the value, and a shuttle ushers them around the grounds for those who prefer not to walk.
