Depending on the resort, availability, and time of year, an upgrade can be obtained for a nominal fee. Find out from the front desk what the options and benefits are of moving up. For instance, at Paradisus Palma Real in Punta Cana, the adult-only Royal Service suites come with whirlpools and access to special areas of the resort, including a private pool and beach as well as an upscale lounge with cocktails, canapes, and gorgeous views. Guests also get access to other restaurants, like Palazzo, that aren’t offered to everyone. The upgrade option is especially a good idea for those who want to feel a bit more like a VIP and stay clear of the kiddos.
