Natura Park Eco-Resort & Spa Review

Natura Park Eco-Resort & Spa
$-$$, Punta Cana
Fodor's Review:
You can feel good about being here as you dine on meals made from wholesome, all-natural ingredients. Carved from a former coconut plantation in 1997, the resort retains a mangrove forest and a natural lake. The ecosensitive architecture incorporated the cut cane, coco palms, local wood, and unearthed stones into the furniture, walkways, and footbridges. Buildings occupy only 10% of the property; the beach is rather small. This resort appeals to a niche group, one that prefers low-key, if any, animation. A loft area above the lobby is the designated reading room. Give your body a treat, and take it to the Health Center and Beauty Farm.

Fantastic

I thought that the "old" caribbean, the one where you could walk a beach for miles undisturbed, was gone. It's alive at Natura Park. The hotel has a great beach, and from there you can meander onto the park's beach and enjoy even greater peace. The resort is just beautiful. There are lakes everywhere on the hotel property, with beautiful plants, lots of waterfowl and fish. The rooms are simple and clean, which is all that we needed. Meals are generous and the specialty restaurants are very, very good. I can't comment on the pool- it seems to have all the bells and whistles (swim up bar, games), but I didn't use it. The staff is amazing, very helpful. We will be back.
