Daypass lists 26 hotels, resorts and beach clubs in Punta Cana (La Altagracia, Dominican Republic) where you can book a day pass — also called a pool pass or hotel day pass: daytime access to the pool, restaurants and common areas without staying overnight. Day passes start at 30 USD per person, the typical pass sits around 113 USD, and most passes run 09:00 to 18:00.
All-inclusive dominates in Punta Cana: most passes include restaurants and drinks, so you know what the day costs before you arrive.
Punta Cana's day pass hotels spread over three areas: Bávaro, the longest stretch and the one with most resorts, north of the airport; Cap Cana, just south of the airport, with the newest hotels and the marina; and Uvero Alto, further north and more isolated, with an open-sea beach. Almost all of them are large all-inclusive resorts.
A day pass here is nearly always all-inclusive: buffet, restaurants and drinks are in the price, so the typical pass costs more than at a city hotel but you spend nothing inside. Bávaro beach is protected by a reef, so the sea is usually calm; Uvero Alto and Macao get more surf.
From the airport (PUJ), Bávaro and Cap Cana are 15 to 30 minutes away and Uvero Alto about 45. There is no useful public transport between resorts, so count on a taxi or the hotel shuttle. High season runs from December to April; from August to October many resorts lower their prices.
Food and drinks are covered by the pass, so you check in and stop thinking about the bill.

Every hotel puts together its own pass, so the exact list changes from one property to the next. These are the services that come up most often across the hotels in Punta Cana:
A day pass is daytime access to a hotel's facilities — pool, restaurants and common areas — without staying overnight. In Punta Cana there are 26 hotels, resorts and beach clubs offering one, and you book online for the date you want. You arrive in the morning, use the hotel for the day and leave in the evening.
Day passes in Punta Cana start at 30 USD per person, and the typical pass sits around 113 USD. The price depends on the hotel, on whether food and drinks are included and on the date: weekends and holidays are the most expensive. Most passes run 09:00 to 18:00, a full day rather than a couple of hours; the exact window is shown on every pass before you book.
Bávaro has the most resorts, the calmest sea thanks to the reef, and the shortest rides from the airport and from most hotels. Cap Cana is the pick for newer, more upscale resorts and the marina. Uvero Alto is quieter and more isolated, with a wilder beach and a longer ride. Every listing shows its location on the map before you book.
In sargassum season, normally between April and August, it can reach the beaches, more on the open stretches than on the reef-protected beach of Bávaro. The pool, the restaurants and the all-inclusive service do not depend on the sea, so the day pass works the same; in those months a resort in Bávaro or with large pools is the safer pick.
Among the best rated by guests who have already been are Nickelodeon™ Hotels and Resorts Punta Cana, Zel Punta Cana by Meliá, and Serenade Punta Cana Beach & Spa Resort. You can sort the list by rating to see the rest, and every hotel shows its score and its number of reviews on the card.
No. A day pass exists precisely so you can use the hotel without booking a room. You check in at the front desk with your booking, use the facilities the pass covers for the hours it covers, and leave at the end of the day. It works the same whether you are visiting Punta Cana, staying somewhere else in town or you live nearby. More about how Daypass works.
You book on Daypass for a specific date and receive a confirmation with a QR code. Bring that confirmation — on your phone or printed — along with a valid photo ID matching the name on the booking, plus whatever the hotel asks for, such as swimwear. In Punta Cana most passes run 09:00 to 18:00: arrive within that window to make the most of the day. More about how Daypass works.
It depends on the rate you choose. The refundable rate includes a cancellation insurance fee and lets you cancel up to 24 hours before your day pass starts, refunding what you paid minus that fee. The non-refundable rate is cheaper and does not allow cancellations or refunds except in limited cases. Both are shown side by side at checkout when the hotel in Punta Cana offers them. More about how Daypass works.
Yes, many hotels accept same-day bookings while there is availability. We recommend booking before 10:00 AM local time so the hotel has time to prepare. Weekends in Punta Cana fill up first, so booking a day or two ahead is safer if your date is fixed. More about how Daypass works.
It depends on the hotel. In Punta Cana, family hotels welcome children, usually at a reduced rate, and tend to have shallow pools and a kids club; adults-only hotels do not admit them, generally under 18. The age policy and the child price are shown on every pass before you book. More about how Daypass works.
