For golfers heading to Punta Cana, where you stay matters as much as where you play — and the Westin Puntacana Resort & Club makes a strong case as the best base on the island. Opened in 2013 and sitting on the 15,000-acre Puntacana Resort & Club estate, the Westin puts you within a short shuttle ride of both Corales and La Cana, two of the best courses in the Caribbean.
The Property
The Westin has 200 rooms and 16 suites, all with private balconies and views of either the Caribbean Sea or the resort gardens. Rooms are what you’d expect from a Westin — Heavenly Beds, floor-to-ceiling windows, marble bathrooms, clean contemporary design. Nothing over the top, just consistently well-executed. The resort sits on three miles of white sand beach, has a full-service spa, a fitness center, and an outdoor pool. After a long round at Corales, that beach setup matters.
Dining options have expanded in recent years with multiple restaurants on property, including Anani for international cuisine and a beachfront grill for lunch and dinner. Not an all-inclusive, which most serious golf travelers actually prefer — you’re not locked in, and the food quality reflects it.
The Golf
This is the main reason golfers book the Westin. As a resort guest, you have access to both Corales and La Cana, which together give you a Tom Fazio PGA Tour venue and a 27-hole P.B. Dye design with some of the best ocean holes in the region. That’s a hard golf lineup to beat anywhere in the Caribbean. The resort runs a shuttle between the hotel and both clubhouses, so logistics are simple.
The Bottom Line
The Westin Puntacana isn’t the flashiest resort in Punta Cana, but for a golf trip it checks every box — great rooms, solid beach, good food, and direct access to two world-class courses. If Corales is on your itinerary, this is where you want to be staying.
