Paradisus Grand Cana Punta Cana All Inclusive - Best Place For Families In The Dominican Republic?

Our family just took a trip to the Dominican Republic and we were lucky enough to stay at this resort, formerly known as Paradisus Grand Cana. It being our first time traveling to an all inclusive with a toddler, we did a lot of research for family friendly resorts, and I think we hit the jackpot. This place was amazing!
If you have young children and are confused about which resort to choose, Melia’s Falcon’s Resort might be the best choice for you. From the amazing rooms, food or great activities for the little ones, this resort will not disappoint.

    They’re tripping. The beach is gorgeous and the cars are always available to drop you 5 mins up the road to the beach ara. Spot on about the property. Kids zone was out of this world. They have kids activities that start at various hours of the day. A great break for an hour or two for Mom and Dad. Everything was first class all the way. Going back in 2024.

    This was SO helpful! We're also from Toronto with a 14-month old, half Filipino baby, and we plan to go next Spring when baby is nearing 2 years old. Saw how beautiful this resort was on Expedia and we're gearing towards the Coral level at Iberostar Selection, but maybe by December I'll look into their renovated area. Come join us next April! Haha our Filipino moms can hang, and our non-Filipino husbands too 😂

Definitely check them out by the time everything is all finished in December. Good luck on your trip planning! 🥰

    Great review thank you so much. Would you say the food was toddler appropriate? Fries, rice, pasta, pizza etc?

    Yes! The food was toddler appropriate, yes! Lots of all of those things you listed and a pasta station. However, we gotta say for the adults sometimes it felt repetitive (the buffet options) and there was limited options. It’s great for toddlers but for adults to enjoy, we’d recommend actually going to the restaurant!

    Hi there! The Grand Cana is actually the new Paradisus Grand Reserve (it confused us as well). I’m not sure if they actually have a section that’s adult only, from my understanding they are all family friendly! We booked a 2 bedroom master suite at the Grand Cana.

    Thank you so much! It took about 5 minutes on a shuttle to get to the beach. Getting the shuttle back to the hotel did take some time (in terms of us waiting there) because there was only one in rotation. We had to call our concierge and follow up because we had waited a while!

    @@sheenas444 we never tried because we have a baby and it was scorching hot; however, I think if you’re ok with the heat and going for a long walk, it might be doable. But I’m thinking it might take a whole 30 minutes to walk there. It’s an incredibly large resort with 3 resorts within it. And the Grand Cana resort is the furthest back from all the resorts.

    Hello! Just booked it for Aug. I read up the kids club has to be potty trained, do you know if this is the case? Reviews also mentioned the a la carte restaurants are impossible to reserve as they are all full, any tips on how to get reservations? Last question, how big is their crib? is it more like a play pen size or a regular size crib? Thank in advance!

    Hi there! I honestly never heard anything about the kids needing to be potty trained. At the time they were willing to take my daughter and she was super young, they had to have known she was not potty trained. We didn’t end up leaving her at the kids club though, so we are not entirely sure. Yes, a la carte restaurants are damn near impossible. We were lucky because we had our own personal concierge (she came with our room, not sure if this is standard for the resort still but I’d suggest asking if you would have a concierge… she made it super easy because every time we wanted to reserve we just messaged her on whatsapp and we would magically have a reservation). We didn’t use a crib, but I believe it was travel sized from what my sister in law told me!

    Hey! I’m pretty sure they only had presidente on tap at the bars. I believe one of the bars had Heineken on tap but most of them were presidente. They would deliver cans to your room at any time though
