Yes—Punta Cana is very popular with travelers, and resorts and tourist areas are generally safe and secure. We do recommend that travelers take normal travel precautions and remain mindful if they choose to venture off resort property, as conditions outside the tourist zones can vary.

Punta Cana enjoys warm, tropical weather year-round. Average daytime temperatures range from the mid-70s to high-80s °F (24–31 °C). The sun shines most of the year, with refreshing ocean breezes. The dry season (December–April) is the most popular for weddings and honeymoons, while the wet season (May–November) brings brief afternoon showers but also fewer crowds and great travel deals.

As with any tropical destination, it’s best to pack light, breathable clothing, sunscreen, and a light rain jacket just in case.

U.S., Canadian, and UK citizens need a valid passport but do not need a visa for visits under 180 days. Guests from other countries should check Dominican Republic's official entry requirements for their nationality.
