Grand Oasis Punta Cana Hotel & Casino in the Dominican Republic is a great destination if you’re looking to get away from the workaday world for a little rest and relaxation. It’s an even better choice if you want that R&R to include some leisurely gaming activities since the resort has its own casino. This all-inclusive resort has redefined the meaning of the term, offering not only the usual meals, drinks and non-motor water sports, but also access to a great casino and tropical garden.
Open daily from 7PM to 4PM, the Catalonia Bavaro Casino presents guests with 20 slot machines and nine tables with Poker, Roulette and Blackjack. The casino may be small, but its location in paradise often takes people’s attention away from gaming. However, if this casino isn’t to your liking, several other resorts in the area offer larger, more traditional gaming atmospheres.
The hotel at the Grand Oasis resort is more than adequate, though it is much smaller than some of the other mega-resorts on the island. Choose from 457 rooms – most with ocean views – each equipped with one king sized or two queen sized beds, private balconies, satellite television, coffee services and 24-hour room service.
Eat well at the Grand Oasis resort; there are 3 full-scale restaurants, an international buffet, a snack bar and five full bars. Eat a tasty Mediterranean dinner at the Italian Restaurant and then head to the beach to watch the sunset and have a cocktail from the Beach Garden Café. You can also enjoy a local beer and hot sporting action at the Sports Bar. If a lounge atmosphere is more your style, try the Piano and Cigar Bar.
Since most people come to the Dominican Republic to relax, believe that there are plenty of leisure activities and services to keep you in a constant state of bliss. Start off your day with a hearty workout at the resort’s fitness facilities, replete with several full sets of free weights and a nice assortment of cardio machines. When you’re done, get a massage or beauty treatment at the spa. During the day, enjoy free kayaking, windsurfing, sailing and snorkeling (there’s a massive coral reef just off the shore).
Grand Oasis provides for nightlife for the whole family. If you’ve brought along the children, there are family-friendly movies every night at the resort’s cinema; for adults there are nightly parties on the beach with live entertainment. Enjoy a show at the nightly cabaret presentations or dance until the sun comes up at the resort’s nightclub.
