TRS Turquesa Hotel

Character and identity

TRS Turquesa sits on Bavaro Beach, twelve miles from Punta Cana, as the adults-only enclave inside the much larger Grand Palladium complex. The look is barefoot Caribbean: terracotta roofs, palapa-topped bars, dark wood four-poster beds and sand-toned tiles, with high ceilings and wall-to-wall windows pulling in the light. All suites come with jetted tubs and pool-view terraces; ground-floor rooms open directly onto swim-up access. Butler service, a private beach and the Zentropia spa (ice room, plunge pools, hydromassage, clay therapy) define the pampering, while guests can roam more than 40 restaurants and bars across the wider resort.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The pitch here is a small adults-only cocoon plugged into a vast resort: you get butler service, swim-up suites and a private beach, plus one-way access to dozens of restaurants and bars next door. Book a ground-floor swim-up suite to make the most of the room product, and come as a couple who wants variety rather than seclusion.
