Floatels are a type of accommodation in the hotel industry that combines the words "floating" and "hotels."

There are friends in all these hotels made by Forbes, for whom their properties are more than just hotels. They truly love their hotels and obsessed with them. That's why it is difficult for me to openly criticize or express my personal opinion about some of the "winning" categories in Forbes' article. Instead, I just want to mention two hotels that should never be forgotten when talking about the most unique All-Inclusive resorts or hotels in Punta Cana and its vicinity. These hotels OBJECTIVELY should be on any list: 1. Casa de Campo Resort & Villas – the best unique concept hotel. There is no other hotel like it, as it is part of the iconic Casa de Campo city, where you have the best and most expensive restaurants as a part of your AI package. Casa de Campo also known as the "City of Millionaires," where you might occasionally run into Bill Clinton, Shakira, J.Lo, and others. While it's not technically in Punta Cana, but rather in the La Romana region, if you include hotels from Uvero Alto, then Bayahibe should also be considered and included. 2. Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana by RCD Hotels – the best party or event hotel, or the best choice for special occasions. There is no other hotel like Hard Rock with its unique vibe, featuring the largest casino and, so far, the best nightclub. What do you think about Forbe's list? It will really be interesting to hear different opinions.

Hotel rooms are typically classified into several categories based on their size, amenities, and intended use. The main categories of hotels include transient, resort, and residential hotels. Transient hotels cater primarily to guests who are not permanent residents, offering rooms with private baths, telephones, radios, and televisions, along with services like laundry and valet. Resort hotels are luxury facilities aimed at vacationers, often located near attractions such as beaches or ski parks, and may operate seasonally or year-round. Residential hotels function similarly to apartment buildings, providing maid service and dining options, and range from luxurious to moderately priced accommodations.
