Grand Sirenis Punta Cana (renamed from Sirenis Punta Cana Resort Casino & Aquagames after a $30M renovation completed in late 2018) is a big family-oriented resort whose headline feature is genuinely impressive: the Aquagames water park is the largest in Punta Cana, with unlimited, included access. For families who would otherwise budget $50-80+ per person per day for external water park tickets, that's real value. The renovation added two buildings, a 7,000 sq ft spa, upgraded pool and beach areas, and expanded the lineup to 10 restaurants including a Tex Mex spot and La Gira Rodizio Brazilian steakhouse. The 1,300-foot beachfront is one of the more generous in the Bavaro corridor, and included non-motorized water sports add another layer of activity without upcharging.
Just know the renovation is no longer fresh - it's been over seven years, and 2026 guests describe rooms as 'a bit old but comfortable and clean'. Recent reviews also flag drain smells in some room blocks and bars that run short on beverages with long drink waits during peak hours, the classic symptoms of a big resort running at full occupancy. One structural change: the nightclub ceased operations on December 31, 2025, and since January 2026 all nighttime activities happen in the redesigned La Plaza area - fine for shows and live music, a letdown if you wanted a true late-night club. On the plus side, a June 2026 guest noted sargassum was only an issue a few days of their stay.
Grand Sirenis Punta Cana is the obvious choice for families where the water park is the primary vacation motivator, with dining variety and a large spa as solid supporting acts. Guests who don't care about water parks may find better dining-focused value elsewhere, and older reviews referencing the pre-2019 'Sirenis Punta Cana Resort Casino' name can cause confusion when researching. Compare against Royalton Splash Punta Cana, Nickelodeon Resort Punta Cana (higher price, themed experience), and Grand Palladium Bavaro Suites (similar beach, established dining) when finalizing your Punta Cana decision.
Pros

- +10 restaurants including a Tex Mex spot and La Gira Rodizio Brazilian steakhouse give real dining variety for the price tier
- +7,000 sq ft spa is one of the larger spa facilities in the Punta Cana corridor
- +1,300+ feet of white-sand beachfront — one of the more extensive private beach stretches in the Bavaro corridor
- +Non-motorized water sports (kayaks, catamarans, wind surfing, snorkeling) included in the all-inclusive rate
- +Good for families with kids across a wide age range — teens love the water park, younger kids have dedicated pools

Cons
- −A la carte restaurant reservations may still be limited per stay despite the 10 restaurants - check current policy when booking
- −The $30M renovation dates back to late 2018, and it shows - 2026 guests describe rooms as 'a bit old but comfortable', so don't expect a freshly renovated property
- −Mid-2026 reviews report drain and sewage smells in some room blocks - worth requesting a different block if your room is affected
- −Bars running out of beverages and long waits for drinks come up in recent reviews, a sign of crowd pressure at peak occupancy
- −Large resort scale can feel impersonal and crowd management during peak season shows pressure
- −Punta Cana doesn't offer Riviera Maya-caliber snorkeling — water sports are included but marine life is less spectacular
- −Some areas of the beach are rocky — the 1,300-foot stretch isn't uniformly swimmable
- −The nightclub closed permanently on December 31, 2025 - all nighttime activities moved to La Plaza, a downgrade for guests who wanted a proper late-night club
