A room at Riu Republica.

Riu Republica Not every Punta Cana all-inclusive is an ultra-luxury enclave. There are great budget options to be found — none better than the relatively new Riu Republica, a 1,300-room adults-only resort on Punta Cana’s Arena Gorda beach. The modern, sleekly designed property has all of the Riu inclusions you’re used to, from the in-room beverage dispensers to eight energetic pools — for what is one of the best-value per-night prices in all of Punta Cana.
