Stanza Mare Beach Front Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Stanza Mare Beach Front, you immediately understand why couples rave about this place. This four-star property sits right on Playa los Corales in Bavaro, and honestly — the beachfront location is everything. I mean, you’re literally steps from one of Punta Cana’s most beautiful stretches of sand, where the water shifts from turquoise to deep blue as you look toward the horizon. The hotel has this relaxed, intimate vibe that feels more like a boutique retreat than your typical resort complex.

The Perfect Spot

What really sets this place apart is its position in El Cortecito — you know, that sweet spot where you get the best of both worlds. You’re close enough to the action in Bavaro to grab dinner at local spots or hit up some nightlife, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with crowds every time you want to enjoy the beach. The parking situation is actually great too (and free, which is rare around here), so if you’re planning to explore the area or do some excursions, you don’t have to worry about where to leave your rental car.

Your Home Base

The rooms here strike that perfect balance between comfort and functionality. Each room feels spacious and airy, with that tropical design that doesn’t try too hard — think clean lines, local touches, and windows that actually let you appreciate where you are. What I really appreciated was how quiet everything stays, even when the hotel’s busy. You can hear the ocean from most rooms, which honestly beats any white noise machine.

Beach Life and Beyond

The beach access is where this place really shines. Playa los Corales has this gorgeous coral reef just offshore (hence the name), so if you’re into snorkeling, you’re in for a treat. The sand is that perfect white Caribbean sand that doesn’t get scorching hot, and there’s usually a nice breeze coming off the water. The hotel provides beach chairs and umbrellas, but honestly, I found myself just walking the shoreline most mornings — it’s that kind of place where you naturally slow down.

Why Guests Love It

Look, I get why couples especially love Stanza Mare Beach Front. There’s something about the scale of this place that feels just right — big enough to have everything you need, small enough that you’re not fighting for space or dealing with massive crowds. The staff genuinely seems to care about making sure you have a good time, and they know the area well enough to point you toward the best local spots. Plus, being in what’s consistently rated as the top area in Punta Cana means you’re not settling for second-best when it comes to beach quality or overall experience. It’s one of those places where you can actually relax without constantly planning your next move.

Reviews of Stanza Mare Beach Front

  • Glenda from Peru (9/10)

    Is literally in front of the beach and the view is amazing! The apartment was clean and comfortable, the host are very nice and helpful!!

  • Jose from Colombia (8/10)

    The water was good, obviously not for drinking but way better than most in the area. The beach was marvelous. I wish it had more amenities

  • Frank from United States (8/10)

    The location was great! Restaurants and bars all around! Our Republic was a great hangout! So was Soles! The pool was one of my favorite spots at the property. The pool is huge and you never feel crowded. Really cool to have the poolside bar. Small private beach but good to have it! They have some excess of seaweed but make the effort to clean it throughout the week. They have a ton of beach chairs with grass umbrellas to block sun when you need to! There is a great security team at Stanza Mare- you have good reason to feel very safe here. The staff were excellent!

  • Kesi from Nigeria (7/10)

  • Coleman from United States (9/10)

    Very conveniently located. The residents are low-key, great pool, nice apartment, the beach is minutes away and you can walk to town where there are lots of stores and restaurants.

  • Luke from United States (8/10)

    The location is unmatched and the beach front was the best around. Pool was nice and not too many kids kept it quiet. It’s also well located to restaurants, markets, and bars in the area. Romeo was very helpful and booked our excursions for us.
