I just arrived home from pp. It is less expensive than punts Cana as the resorts are a little older ( in general) there are nice beaches but water is tougher. Better for surfing and such. So if you like fancier/newer large resorts then go to pints Cana. ( both are beautiful though)
Margaret
Punta Cana for sure. We had amazing time. Check Coco Bongo great entertainment.

Check out Sosua town after PP. beautiful beach but quiet town
Shawna
With all due respect, I would advise travelers to do your research about Sosua. It was distressing to see that many young prostitutes (and that was during the day - apparently, the numbers quadruple at night. We checked later and it is one of the most popular sex tourism spots in the world.) And it is not a quiet place at all. I sat with my husband and two children in an open air restaurant (actually, a Canadian pub style place) right on the main street downtown where we were hassled repeatedly by a sleazy drug dealer who must have come by at least half a dozen times to sell powders and pills from the seat of his fancy motorcycle. Sosua was a fabulous place to snorkel (we went with Aqua Adventures - great company) but personally, I would not stay there.
