Some beach vacations deliver exactly what they promise. Princess Hotels & Resorts makes that easier to pull off: five-star, beachfront, all-inclusive properties across Punta Cana, the Riviera Maya, and Negril, Jamaica, with enough variety within the brand that the right fit actually exists for your trip, not just something close enough.
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Punta Cana sits at the point where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea, and the stretch of coastline Princess calls home, Bávaro Beach, runs nearly 30 miles of amber-white sand built up from coral, sheltered by a reef that keeps the water calm, clear, and reliably turquoise. The water is actually that color.
Princess has five properties here, giving you real options depending on who’s traveling. The Grand Bavaro Princess and Princess Family Club Bavaro anchor the family side, with rooms accommodating up to five guests. The Caribe Deluxe Princess and Tropical Deluxe Princess suits couples and groups looking for a livelier atmosphere, while the adults-only Punta Cana Princess keeps things quieter on the same coastline.
When you’re ready to venture beyond the sand, you can take a boat out to Saona Island for snorkeling over living coral reefs, swim with stingrays, or spend a day in Santo Domingo, the first European city established in the Americas, with colonial architecture that’s still standing after five centuries.
Riviera Maya, Mexico
The Riviera Maya has a lot working in its favor beyond the beach. The Princess properties here sit ten minutes from Playa del Carmen, close enough to spend an evening on its famous Fifth Avenue, lined with restaurants, boutiques, and open-air bars, and central enough to reach some of the most remarkable destinations in the hemisphere on a day trip.
Chichen Itza, the ancient Mayan capital considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world, is reachable from here. So are the cenotes — natural freshwater pools hidden beneath the jungle floor, connected by underground cave systems, with water so clear they look lit from below. You can do all of that and still be back at your swim-up suite in time for dinner.
The Grand Riviera Princess and Grand Sunset Princess are the flagships, both freshly renovated with swim-up suites and Platinum Club upgrades available. Families have the dedicated Princess Family Club Riviera, with its own kids’ club, water park, and rooms fitting up to five guests. Adults looking for a different pace have the Platinum Yucatán Princess, an 18+ property built entirely around the Platinum service experience, designed for travelers who want something quieter and more refined.
Jamaica
Both Princess properties in Negril reopened in early 2026, making this the freshest chapter in the brand’s Caribbean story. Negril sits on Jamaica’s unhurried west coast, where Seven Mile Beach stretches out in powdery white sand and the Caribbean comes in clear and warm. Negril has a way of making afternoons vanish.
Beyond the beach, you’re within reach of the Roaring River Caves — an underground river system you can actually explore — and the kind of local food and music culture that reminds you Jamaica is one of the most distinctive places on earth. The food, the music, the pace — Princess puts you close enough to all of it that none of it feels like a side trip.
Princess Grand Jamaica is a full family resort with an on-site water park and Platinum service available. Its counterpart, Princess Senses The Mangrove, is an adults-only (18+) property where the most coveted accommodations are overwater villas — private retreats built above the Caribbean itself, where you fall asleep to the sound of the water below and wake up to nothing but open sea and sky.
What Runs Through All of It
Every Princess property operates at the five-star all-inclusive level: à la carte restaurants alongside buffet dining, full-service spas, water sports, daily programming, and facilities for weddings and groups. For travelers who want more, the Platinum tier (available at select properties across all three destinations) adds private lounges, premium dining, and a level of personal attention that makes a good vacation feel like it was planned specifically for you.
The beach at Punta Cana, the ancient wonders and jungle cenotes of the Riviera Maya, the west-coast ease of Negril. These are three destinations people plan around, not just stumble into. Princess puts you in the middle of all of it.
