If you like parties and never been in Coco Bongo before – it’s a must. If you have been there before, second time might not be as entertaining. A lot of alcohol and very high-end entertainment. Staff there is top notch and don’t allow any risky behavior. Please come before hand and pay extra if you don’t want to be inside the huge crowd. 
Its 12 minutes away from the villa, but if you drink – don’t drive, use taxi instead.

Very good options for kids, the place is filled with monkeys and they crawl all over you. If you like tactile sensations – this place is for you. About 1 hour away from villa, and is a bit pricy. But you can make some deal if you drive there with your own car.
The property is beautiful and very well maintained. There are zip lines on the property as well. 

This park is all about athletic water activities with wakeboarding, inflatables, zip lines. This place is big! There is an option to seat and observe your active part of your family having fun. As an observer you just need to pay minimum fee that can be used as a restaurant credit. You can find good promotions on their instagram.

This is a small half an hour hike through tropical forrest to the clear water lagoons. You can swim in the lagoons, the water is non-salty and fresh. The trails and entrance to the water are well maintained. The visitors of the villa pay $15 tickets, otherwise its $50 per person. 

Here is the link to the ticket office, make sure you use same road as to Playa Blanca as Google Maps will try to take you through Service entrance: https://goo.gl/maps/P25jdANFyGscwLWK9

On the way back we recommend to pick up fresh organic fruits and vegetables in the garden across the ticket office. The prices are very small and the quality of food is excellent.

Very nice park inside the Cap Cana, 20 minutes away, but it’s for people that are not on a budget: $130 usd per adult and $70 for child. Has nice natural lagoons, nature zip lines, water zip lines and small zoo. Takes full day to explore all attractions there. To enter Cap Cana you can just show the electronic ticket to get inside.

This is a theme park with attractions for kids. Its a bit overpriced, but their value proposition is that you can return to the park as many times as you want and use all their attractions for one time. Kids in general like it.

40 minutes away. Very good option to learn how to surf with good instructors. Acceptable from age 8. Requires good fitness level. Good family activity when kids are surfing and parents are chilling on the Macao beach.

15 minutes away, its a Club House of Punta Cana Resort. It has beach, small swimming pool, nice small restaurant, bar, Six Sense Spa and La Cana Golf Club. The use of the beach and facilities is free, but they don’t have towel service.
