Ocean El Faro Resort vs Corales 50 in Higuey – At a Glance

Category Ocean El Faro Resort Corales 50 in Higuey
Overall Vibe Large beachfront all-inclusive resort with an all-ages atmosphere, family facilities, a private beach area, and an 18+ El Beso section for adults who want a quieter zone. Private villa-style stay in Higuey, better suited to travelers who prefer independence and a more residential-feeling base over a full resort environment.
Location On Carretera Uvero Alto in the Uvero Alto area of Punta Cana, set directly on the seafront with a private beach area for guests. In Higuey, away from the built-in beachfront resort setup of Ocean El Faro Resort and better framed as a private-stay base.
Rooms & Suites Resort accommodations with access to all-inclusive amenities, plus upgrade options such as Privilege services and the 18+ El Beso section. Villa-style accommodations, best for guests who value privacy, shared living space, and a less hotel-like stay.
Dining Wide all-inclusive dining lineup with themed restaurants, bars, swim-up bars, buffet and à la carte options, and room service during set hours. Dining is likely to feel more independent than resort-based; choose it if you do not need a built-in all-inclusive restaurant and bar circuit.
Pools & Beach Private beach area, large pools, a lazy river, family pool area, children’s water park, and an exclusive adults-only pool within El Beso. Better for a private-villa atmosphere than for guests specifically seeking a full beachfront resort pool-and-beach complex.
Kids & Family All-ages resort where children are welcome, with family pool facilities and a children’s water park with slides and water jets. Can work for families or groups who prefer a private stay, but it does not offer the same documented resort-style children’s facilities.
Price & Value Best value for travelers who will use the all-inclusive dining, beach, pools, water park, spa access options, and resort entertainment. Best value for travelers who prioritize private space and independence over bundled resort amenities.

  • Large pools, lazy river, and a family pool area with a children’s water park
  • El Beso includes an exclusive 18+ pool and adult-focused beach and bar areas
