Traveling during COVID-19 has been confusing, but by 2025, the Dominican Republic has made things much simpler. While the world has moved beyond the strict pandemic measures of 2020–2022, travelers still want clarity. Here’s your updated travel guide to Punta Cana during COVID-19, covering entry rules, safety tips, and how to plan smart for your Caribbean getaway.

1. Choose Your Destination Wisely

The Dominican Republic remains open to travelers from all countries with no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements. You don’t need to show a negative test, vaccine card, or proof of recovery upon arrival, ensuring this travel guide to Punta Cana during COVID-19 provides a smooth experience.

Airports may still conduct random health checks, but they’re rare and quick. For peace of mind, keep your routine vaccines updated (Covid-19, flu, hepatitis A, and typhoid if visiting rural areas).

2. Be Flexible and Know Your Options

One of the best Covid-era lessons for travelers is flexibility. Always check your airline and hotel cancellation policies before booking.

While the Dominican Republic no longer offers the free “Covid-19 travel insurance” program from 2020, many hotels now include travel assistance or health coverage options. Airlines also provide flexible rebooking policies in case of sudden changes.

3. Choose Your Accommodation Wisely

Punta Cana is known for its all-inclusive resorts and pristine beaches. Since the pandemic, hotels and resorts have continued to maintain enhanced cleaning and sanitation standards introduced during 2021–2022, ensuring they adhere to this travel guide to Punta Cana during COVID-19.

Many resorts still highlight:

  • 24/7 on-site medical staff
  • Improved room cleaning protocols
  • Contactless check-in
  • Flexible dining options (outdoor, private, or buffet service)

While there are no mask mandates or curfews in 2025, it’s still smart to travel prepared. Airports may have stricter screening during busy times, so keep the essential tips from this travel guide to Punta Cana during COVID-19 ready.

Airport & Travel Tips in 2025:
