Planning & Tips

All About the Extras

Babysitting Services
Guests can hire a babysitter for $15 per hour, per child.

Medical Center

The Art of Smart Timing
Memories Splash Punta Cana experiences year-round temperatures ranging from 82 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit, with a year-round water temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit. However, high humidity can make it feel warmer than the actual air temperature. Therefore, the property's high season runs from December through April when humidity is low. The low season runs from June through November, when families will find the best room rates.

Getting There
Memories Splash Punta Cana is approximately a 30-minute drive from Punta Cana International Airport. A one-way taxi ride from the airport to the property is approximately $30. The hotel does not provide shuttle service. To book an airport transfer, speak to the hotel directly prior to arrival. You can wait until you arrive at the airport to arrange a transfer, but it's best if you book it before arrival.

Getting Around
Memories Splash Punta Cana does not offer any complimentary shuttle service in Punta Cana; however, if you plan to take an offsite excursion, round-trip transportation usually is included in the price of the excursion. If you want to explore the local area, plan to pay out-of-pocket for taxi service. Rental cars are available at the airport, but are not recommended unless you are staying for a lengthy vacation and plan to do a lot of your own sightseeing.

For Mom and Dad
For some special alone time, parents should head next door to Hotel Royalton Punta Cana, where they can splurge on themselves with spa treatments at the Royal Spa. Afterward, they can enjoy an evening meal at Hunter Steak House (additional fee required) followed by drinks and dancing at XS Night Club.
