Punta Cana has one of the busiest and best connected -private- airport in the Dominican Republic's eastern region, serving about two million tourists per year.
The weather is fairly constant, with an average temperature of 86°F. The hottest -and humid- season lasts from May to October, and during the day temperatures might reach 95°F. From November to March, temperatures during the evening are around 20°C (68°F). Very little rain falls around the area, mostly because of the mostly flat landscape, a combination of savanna and mountains.
Punta Cana is considered the major resort area in the Dominican Republic with 28,000 hotel rooms.
Punta Cana has 12 professional golf courses that have already been built, from designers such as Jack Nicklaus, P.B. Dye, Tom Fazio, Nick Faldo and Nick Price...all within one hour drive from each other. The very first 18-Hole golf course was built in 1991 for the BARCELO complex. It was designed by Spanish Jose -Pepe- Gancedo, a former pro. Then, in 2000 it was followed by the La Cana Golf Course from P.B.Dye. In 2005, Cap Cana complete the first of their 5 golf courses (three Nicklaus-signature), the Punta Espada Golf Couse, a Nicklaus' masterpiece. Punta Espada, along with Teeth of the Dog in Casa de Campo figure among the very first 50 best golf courses in the world.
The nightlife inside the resorts is very lively with Las Vegas-style shows mostly from native artists. Outside of the hotels, half a dozen of high-quality discotheques allow tourists to interact with local residents.
