Fodor's Expert Review Le Sivory Punta Cana by PortBlue Boutique

The best things really do come in small packages at this romantic boutique hotel, which delivers on its promise of expressly personal service and utter tranquility. Zen elements in the architecture, design, and mood of this secluded retreat work well in the natural setting, with indigenous vegetation used in the landscaping. Re-LAX is the operative word with a do-nothing itinerary; the concierges do offer some pleasurable activities and there’s the allure of the spa. In the handsome suites (go water view), a tone of laid-back luxury is achieved with Asian and Caribbean adornments; all have satellite, flat-screen TVs, robes and slippers, wine coolers, and minibars. Morning coffee, juice, and pastries are dropped off at your door. At the communal infinity pool, chaise longues are outfitted with comfortable cushions. Three restaurants feature Asian, Mediterranean, and international cuisine, respectively. Secluded, and for adults-only, it is best for short stays and romantic couples.
