Hotel Information: North American and European guests are drawn to this moderately priced resort to enjoy activities throughout the day and night, including merengue lessons, pool aerobics, and after-dark shows in an open-air theater.

Amenity highlights: Thatch-roof palapas and palm trees furnish shade for relaxation on the 640 meters (700 yards) of powdery white-sand beach. Three lagoon-style pools offer swimming alternatives to the sea: one is the scene of lively daytime activities; the largest is quieter and contains two spa tubs and a swim-up bar; the third is for children.

Insider tip: Adjacent to the Occidental Grand is a large shopping center containing Dominican products, such as amber and larimar stone, cigars, ceramics, and other gift items.
