Discover a New Tune at the Enhanced Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana

The all-inclusive Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana is the largest resort in the Dominican Republic, featuring 1,775 luxe guestrooms, nine specialty restaurants and nearly two dozen bars and lounges in addition to an impressive list of amenities including 13 pools, a 60,000-square-foot spa, Las Vegas-style casino, an 18-hole Nicklaus-designed golf course, a plethora of retail shops, an array of entertainment offerings from laser tag to miniature golf and more than 65,000 square feet of meeting and event space.

Guests staying at this award-winning property can also look forward to one-of-a-kind experiences that only Hard Rock can provide, including an unparalleled music memorabilia collection, rhythm and motion spa therapies and Fender guitars delivered right to your room. Better yet, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino has recently added to its allure with extensive room renovations and the rollout of a singular dining experience in The Market Food Hall. Here's what guests can expect at this epic destination in 2021 and beyond.

Many of the rooms and suites at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana have been redesigned to feature a lighter color palette making way for a more Caribbean feel where natural light reigns. Guests will also notice custom-designed furniture and dynamic lighting fixtures in addition to spacious balconies and rainfall showers complete with refeshing Rock Spa bath products. Plush bedding and 300-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets make falling asleep fast and easy but guests can also wind down or gear up for the day ahead with Rock Om in-room on-demand yoga, the hydro spa tub or fully stocked mini bar.

Hard Rock's Sound of Your Stay program is yet another example of how the brand is living up to its rockstar reputation. Watching your favorite artists on the 55-inch flatscreen television is fun but that's just the appetizer. Hard Rock guests can have up to 20 different styles of Fender guitars, including Stratocasters, Telecasters and basses delivered straight to their room for a private jam session. They can also check out one of 10 Crosley "Keepsake" Record Players and a Crosley Record Carrier Case. Inside, they'll find a curated collection of vinyl records ranging from the classics to the latest gems from today's emerging artists.

Guests can dive into a wide range of mouth-watering breakfast, lunch and dinner offerings inspired from every corner of the world at the Hard Rock's newest restaurant renovation, The Market Food Hall. Options here include a New Orleans-style French Market, Mexican Mercado, Asian Market, Italian Mercato, Spanish Boqueria and a full bar serving up hand-crafted drinks inspired by classic Dominican cocktails, including rum-based gems like the mojito and rum sour that pair perfectly with almost any dish, from authentic tacos to fall-off-the-bone ribs.

Despite the plethora of options on offer here, all dishes are made-to-order using locally sourced ingredients so guests shouldn't mistake it for a traditional buffet. But before you've had a chance to treat your taste buds, the first thing you'll notice is The Market's inviting tropical design featuring plenty of lush greenery reflecting the surrounding vibrant Punta Cana region.

In addition to The Market, Hard Rock guests will have their senses teased and tempted at a slew of other restaurants throughout the property, including Mediterranean and Lebanese favorite Bistro Med. The smells alone are sure to draw you in for lunch or dinner. Open for breakfast and dinner, Ciao offers a true Italian dining experience highlighted by fresh pastas and artisan pizzas. Ipanema, a Brazilian rodizio style restaurant surrounded by the resort's lazy pool, is another stellar option for lunch or dinner, as is Los Gallos, where guests can dive into ancient Mexican recipes while sipping their favorite tequila.

Find artisanal brick oven Neapolitan-style pizzas and other Mediterranean dishes at Pizzeto, explore Peruvian-Japanese fusion at Isla or sample authentic sushi while taking in a mesmerizing chef performance at Zen. Finally, the casino is where guests will find Montserrat Manor, a modern American steakhouse specializing in fresh caught seafood and the highest prime meat, which is brought from Chicago, hand selected and wet aged for at least 21 days. Keep in mind that this last restaurant is not part of the all-inclusive package. Hard Rock also offers 24-Hour room service so guests can chow down from the comfort and privacy of their room at any point during their stay.

The ultimate wellness experience awaits guests at the Rock Spa boasting 60,000 square feet of rejuvenating amenities and services, including 42 treatment rooms for massages, facials, body wraps, rituals and much more. There's also a hydrotherapy circuit, a pair of whirlpools, a steam room, mud room, sauna, ice room, hydro-reflexology and a sensory expertise pool along with relaxing lagoons.
