Punta Cana Shopping Malls

If you decide to go shopping in Punta Cana, you will find several options for doing so in plazas and malls located near popular hotels and beaches. Shopping centers, clothing stores, supermarkets, craft stores, restaurants, and bars are open and waiting for customers. On the other hand, some hotels and resorts have their own stores within the complex, but you will not find as much variety and price as you can outside of the hotels. Many tourists shop to bring back a souvenir from Punta Cana and also to buy gifts for friends and family back home. The most popular products for gift-giving are Dominican rum, cigarettes, tobacco, and crafts in general.
