By: Caribbean Journal Staff - November 14, 2016

A huge new water park has debuted in the Dominican Republic’s tourism capital.

Hotel giant Riu has opened its first-ever water park, with the debut of the Splash Water World in Punta Cana.

The $3.5 million complex is accessible at no charge to guests staying at any of the five Riu hotels in Punta Cana.

The family-friendly park includes everything from the Body Vortex, a closed body slide that shoots guests towards the pool; the Kamikaze, with drops from various heights; and a “free-fall slide.”

The park is open free for guests staying at any Riu hotel in the area, including Riu Palace Punta Cana; Riu Palace Macao; Riu Palace Bavaro; Riu Naiboa and ClubHotel Riu Bambu.
