Punta centinela  

On Santa Elena’s waterfront in Punta Blanca, this all-inclusive resort sits right by a private beach. You’re a short drive from Punta Barandua and Punta Blanca Chapel, and the spot works great for families and large groups.

Choose from 197 air-conditioned guestrooms with shower/tub combos, in-room safes and complimentary bottled water; housekeeping is daily. The property blends lively beachfront energy with spa calm — think a spa center with massage rooms and a sauna, a fitness center and a diving club. There are kids’ playrooms, an arcade and even karaoke for late-night fun. Staff speak English and Spanish, and an elevator and concierge help keep things easy.

Two outdoor pools and a private beach set the scene — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and unwind at the poolside or beach bar. Onsite highlights include a full spa, massage rooms, sauna, fitness center, table tennis and organized tours/excursions. Free self-parking is available; shuttle/transfer services run for a surcharge.

A business center and 1,055 sq ft (98 m²) of conference space make events possible. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, 24-hour front desk and concierge services support meetings and group stays. Airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

Three on-site restaurants include El Coral, serving Mediterranean dishes. Grab drinks at the beach bar, poolside bar or one of three lounges. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:00–10:00, and 24-hour room service is available.
