Why Finest Punta Cana will change your view on all-inclusive resorts
Not your average all-inclusive resort
Finest Punta Cana

Over the past few years, I have been fortunate to travel to several all-inclusive resorts across Mexico and the Caribbean. I've never had a bad experience -- but there's no question that some resorts are better than others. Some cynics of the "all-inclusive life" say these resorts have sub-par food and poor service. However, Finest Punta Cana begs to differ -- in every sense of the term. This resort is truly the top tier of all-inclusive resorts and a must-stay for anyone disappointed by all-inclusive resorts in the past.

While staying at Finest, you get the "care-free" atmosphere of the all-inclusive, which means you can head into the pool and to the pool bar without grabbing your wallet. Yet, that doesn't mean you have to compromise luxury and quality. Here's why the Finest Punta Cana resort changed my mind about all-inclusive resorts and might change yours, too.
Modern, updated atmosphere and design

Traffic

INRIX, a leader in transportation analytics, has just released their 2024 Global Traffic Scorecard, which ranks congestion in nearly 950 cities across 37 countries. The findings paint a stark picture of the time lost to traffic delays, with some cities seeing record-breaking congestion levels.

The city of Istanbul, Turkey claimed the title of the world’s most traffic-congested city, with drivers enduring a staggering 105 hours of delay per year. That’s a 15% increase from the previous year, further cementing Istanbul’s status as a traffic nightmare. The average downtown speed in Istanbul is a mere 15 mph, highlighting just how slow it can be to navigate the streets. With a growing population and increasing car usage, it seems that traffic congestion is only getting worse in this metropolis.
