If you are trying to find the very best resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic no need to look any further than the Tortuga Bay Hotel. Travel reviewers unanimously agree that Tortuga Bay is without question the finest 5 star luxury resort in Punta Cana and it topped my rankings of the top 10 hotels in the Dominican Republic overall.
The fact that the Tortuga Bay Hotel was designed by Oscar De La Renta should give you a clue as to the sumptuous style that Tortuga Bay enjoys. The hotel is a collection of 15 quaint yellow beach front villas with manicured lawns leading right up to the white sand beach.
Tortuga Bay has won most every hotel award imaginable including being awarded the designation of a AAA 5 Diamond hotel which reserved for only the most elite luxury resorts. Every room comes with full time butler service to cater to your every whim. Each room comes with plasma screen televisions, jacuzzi tubs and personal golf cart for shuttling around the property or going golfing on the Tom Fazio designed golf course.
The service at Tortuga Bay is as good as it gets, including pick up from the airport tarmac as if you've arrived on a private jet. Spa service of course is top notch at Six Senses Spa and the restaurant Bamboo is also designed by Oscar De La Renta who has a residence along with Julio Iglesias and Mikhail Baryshnikov in the Tortuga Bay community.
If you've read my rankings of the top 10 resorts in Punta Cana you know that this resort is ranked number one on my list just ahead of the Iberostar Grand Hotel Bavaro. Tortuga Bay Hotel is quite the opposite of the Grand Hotel Bavaro in that the Grand is a large luxurious palace type of resort, whereas Tortuga Bay is a smaller, quieter more intimate resort.
As of March 26,2012 the rates per night for a room for 2 at Tortuga Bay are $710.
