General information about water parks in Punta Cana

Water parks are a must-have for your family vacation in Punta Cana, especially when traveling with kids and teens who love the water, who always needs to be entertained and who just can’t stop splashing and running around. Luckily, there are dozens of Punta Cana resorts with water parks, especially as in the last years a couple of new projects have opened. Therefore it’s relatively easy to find a Punta Cana hotel with water slides that will suit your kids AND your budget.

When looking for a Punta Cana family all-inclusive resort, it is important to note that not every family resort has a water park (even some search engines or online travel agencies might try to tell you). Therefore, I have crafted this hand-selected list of some of the best all-inclusive resorts with a water park in Punta Cana, to make it easier for you to pick the right accommodation for your Punta Cana family vacation. After reading this article, you will exactly know what to expect from the water parks in Punta Cana. I have visited all of these resorts, hence I can recommend these water park hotels from my own experience.

Furthermore, it is important to note that all water parks in Punta Cana are located on the grounds of all-inclusive resorts. 

On the one hand, this means that if you are staying in a particular all-inclusive resort, access to the on-site water park is free and included in your stay. There is not a single all-inclusive resort with water park in Punta Cana which charges extra for using the water park.

On the other hand, as of now, it is important to know that there is not a single water park in Punta Cana which you can access from outside – with the exception of Caribbean Lake Park* which does have a lot of water activities, but no water slides (check tickets for Caribbean Lake Park here*). This being said, if you are staying in an Airbnb, guesthouse or even in another resort without a splash park, you won’t have access to any of the water parks listed in this article. However, you can try to get a day pass* for your desired water park resort in Punta Cana if you’re staying in a hotel without one.

However, in case you are looking for something similar to a water park and if water slides are not a must, you can check out Scape Park Cap Cana, which is an amazing amusement park in Punta Cana with a zipline leading into the water, water hammocks, ropes and artificial waterfalls. It is probably what comes closest to an off-resort water park in Punta Cana. Check out the full review of Scape Park Cap Cana here.

The best Punta Cana all-inclusive resorts with water park

Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort: Aquagames for all ages

Grand Sirenis can be considered as the origin of all water parks in Punta Cana as it was one of the first all-inclusive resorts to have an on-site water park – and it is still one of the biggest, suitable for all ages. This Punta Cana aqua park, called Sirenis Aquagames, features a huge tower with 7 different slides for older children and teens, a large area with a pirates ship for kids aged 4 to 11 (including 10 mini water slides and 4 splash barrels) and a water playground with different water sprinklers and animal statues for the smallest visitors (2 to 4 years) who love to play in the water. 

The three areas are all located within the on-site resort water park but are well separated from each other so that the youngest kids playing in the water don’t get disturbed by the teens or adults riding the thrilling water slides. Furthermore, there is also a central swimming pool in the water park which offers the chance to relax and cool down a bit. The Sirenis Aquagames water park in Punta Cana also features a bar and snack area. 

The water park at Grand Sirenis is certainly not the newest water park in Punta Cana, but everything is well taken care of and it is great fun to spend an afternoon while staying in this family-friendly all-inclusive resort with water park. We particularly enjoyed the Aquaracer, where you slide down competition style with water mats on a 4-lane water slide. 

Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort is a perfect resort for a family vacation in Punta Cana, especially when looking for an affordable holiday option. The entire all-inclusive resort got completely renovated in 2018, it feels like a newly opened hotel that comes with a pleasant design and cozy lounge areas. As you can read in our comprehensive hotel review about Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort, the price-value ratio of this family hotel in Punta Cana is impressive, especially considering the quality of the food and the very modern rooms. It is also a very quiet hotel, so if you are looking for peace and relaxation in Punta Cana, this is your place to go.

You won’t find any huge monster slides here, but especially kids will have fun the entire day.

Hyatt Ziva’s water park, called Canapolis, is a medium-sized water park for all ages. It doesn’t feature the most spectacular and crazy water slides in Punta Cana, but has a wide array of slides and water games for all ages, even though kids will love it more than teens. The quality and quantity of slides are comparable with those at Dreams Macao Beach. 

Besides the slides, Hyatt Ziva’s Canapolis water park features a lazy river, various water cannons and a grotto waterfall, guaranteeing fun and refreshment on hot Caribbean days. There are also two food trucks and a bar right at the water park.

Dreams Onyx: water park with jungle theme

Dreams Onyx Water Park is among peoples’ favorite water parks in Punta Cana, even though it is neither the biggest nor the newest one. However, it is set in a fantastic tropical setting with contemporary design elements and therefore features a wonderful tropical theme.

The Dreams Onyx water park has four slides, among them 2 closed and dark slides and 2 white and open slides. While the dark slides are the typical curvy slides, the white ones are high-speed adrenaline slides, not for the faint-hearted.

But don’t worry, if you are traveling to the Dominican Republic with smaller kids or toddlers, Dreams Onyx is also a great family resort with a water park for you as there is a separate splash pad for the smaller ones. Furthermore, Dreams Onyx is also one of those Punta Cana resorts with a lazy river – and this one here is particularly exciting as it takes you on a journey through tropical vegetation and several water games.

Riu República: adults-only water park in Punta Cana

This is another Riu resort with water park in Punta Cana – but this one is totally different from Riu Bambu and Riu Palace Punta Cana. Riu República has its own water park in Punta Cana and is an adults-only hotel. 

This Punta Cana water park at Riu República, which is also called Splash Water World (which might be a bit confusing as it is a different Splash Water World than the other presented above for Riu Bambu and Riu Palace Bavaro), does have four water slides: one kamikaze slide, two regular (closed) water slides and one 4-lane racer. As Riu República is an adults-only resort, there is no children’s playground or any mini-slides. 

All water slides at Riu República are a little bit smaller and shorter than at the original “Splash Water World”, but they are still fun, especially if you are enjoying Riu República with a group of friends during your vacation in Punta Cana. 

Riu República is an adults-only resort in Punta Cana particularly popular among young adults and couples. Activities and social gatherings are always going on and it definitely can be considered as a party resort in Punta Cana. You also have access to two weekly parties of the massive Riu Party events.

Riu República doesn’t share the property with the other Riu Resorts in Punta Cana (Riu Palace Punta Cana, Riu Palace Bavaro, Riu Palace Macao, Riu Bambu, Riu Naiboa) and therefore doesn’t have access to the big Riu Splash Water World on those hotels. That’s why Riu República is a Punta Cana resort with a water park on its own.

Water park features: a tower with 4 water slides
What is special about this water park in Punta Cana: it is the only water park in Punta Cana which is exclusively for adults
Included in your all-inclusive resort stay: yes
