Open Resorts in Punta Cana: 2025 Entry Rules, Hotels & Travel Tips. With turquoise waters, all-inclusive resorts, and simple Dominican Republic entry requirements, it’s no surprise travelers keep choosing this Caribbean paradise. Among the many attractions are the open resorts in Punta Cana that welcome visitors with exceptional hospitality and amenities.

Entry Requirements for the Dominican Republic (2025)

The Dominican Republic offers visa-free entry to many nationalities, including the U.S., Canada, and most of Europe. Visitors should have:

  • A valid passport (valid for the full stay).
  • A round-trip ticket.
  • Completed E-Ticket immigration form (available online; combines health, customs, and immigration).

There are no COVID-19 restrictions for entry in 2025. No test results, vaccine cards, or quarantine are required. Random health checks at airports may still occur, but are rare and quick.

Health & Safety Protocols in Open Resorts in Punta Cana

While COVID-era restrictions like curfews and mask mandates have ended, most Punta Cana resorts continue to follow enhanced cleanliness standards introduced in 2021–2022. These include:

  • Contactless check-in and digital menus.
  • Frequent sanitization of rooms and public spaces.
  • 24/7 on-site medical staff in major resorts.
  • Flexible dining (buffet, à la carte, outdoor).

These measures give travelers added peace of mind while enjoying their stay.
