Here are the amenities:

Best guess would be Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa.

Please remember to use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board and let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help with this stay.

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

My guess for the 4.5* property would be the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe... for the 4* my guess would be the Catalonia Royal Bavaro.

Since this an extended stay you could see if this same property is offered for the first (or last) nite of your stay and then again for the balance. If so, you could purchase the solo nite in order to 'look behind the curtain'. If you're happy with the results purchase the remaining nites, if not, make alternate plans for the balance of your stay.
