Luxury Villa Rentals for 2+ people
A sprawling resort community built around a 27-hole golf course, the Cocotal Golf and Country Club is known as one of the best places to stay in Punta Cana. That’s because Cocotal villas offer a perfect mix of outdoor living and indoor luxury, all coupled with a convenient location near Bavaro and downtown Punta Cana.
First developed in the 1990s, Cocotal has grown alongside Punta Cana. While the community was originally centered around Jose “Pepe” Gancedo’s weaving golf course, it has continued to evolve.

Today, Cocotal villas attract travelers worldwide who want to stay near this beautiful golf course. The community also maintains a high standard for beauty, with lush landscaping and serene lakes.
