Located right on the stunning, white-sand shores of Playa Arena Gorda in Punta Cana, this resort delivers the high-energy, high-value spring break you and your friends have been looking for. The center of the action revolves around two massive lagoon-style pools. With a packed swim-up bar, a poolside DJ dropping tracks all afternoon, and daily foam parties, the vibe is unmatched. It is the perfect spot to day-drink, catch some rays, and meet hundreds of other students from colleges across the country. When you are not lounging poolside, the resort keeps the energy high with tons of free activities. You can challenge other groups to beach volleyball tournaments, test your skills on the outdoor trapeze, or grab a kayak and hit the ocean.
