Now Larimar Punta Cana by UVC

The Resort & Its Setting

Now Larimar Punta Cana by UVC sits directly on the beach at El Cortecito, within the Punta Cana resort strip in the Higüey region of the Dominican Republic. It's rated 4.4/5 from over 5,500 Google reviews, and Google's own summary describes it as an upmarket all-inclusive beach resort with several bars and restaurants, an outdoor pool and a spa. As part of the Hyatt Inclusive Collection under the UVC vacation ownership brand, it runs on the all-inclusive model familiar to anyone who's stayed in this part of the Caribbean: meals, drinks and entertainment are bundled into the stay rather than billed separately.

The Area & Things to Do

Punta Cana is one of the Dominican Republic's best-known beach destinations, and the resort's own stretch of sand is right outside the door, with calm, warm water suited to swimming and lounging. Bavaro Beach, arguably the area's most famous, is about 5 km away and popular with families and water-sports fans alike. Further along the coast, Cap Cana Marina (around 15 km) has upscale shopping, dining and boat charters, while the Ecological Park Punta Cana (roughly 20 km) offers zip-lining, horseback riding and swimming in natural pools. For a change of pace, Santo Domingo's Colonial District — the Dominican Republic's UNESCO-listed historic capital — is about 120 km away and reachable by a short flight or a few hours by road, worthwhile if you fancy a day trip built around colonial architecture and museums rather than the beach.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners looking to sell their week at Now Larimar Punta Cana can list it as a private resale on BidMyTimeshare.com: you set your own asking price, buyers contact you directly through the platform, and there's a one-time listing fee with 0% commission on the sale — no cut taken when the deal closes.

Because this resort sits within the Hyatt Vacation Club structure, resale transfers go through Hyatt rather than an independent owners' association. Hyatt doesn't publish an official resale transfer fee, but reports from owners and resale brokers put it at roughly $500–$600, with one owner citing around $600 for closing and transfer as recently as May 2025. Hyatt also holds a right of first refusal, reportedly for up to 30 days, meaning Hyatt can step in and match an accepted offer before it goes through to the buyer. According to brokers handling these sales, the transfer itself typically takes 8–10 weeks from signed agreement to completed ownership change.

One important point for resale buyers: ownership bought on the resale market cannot later be converted into World of Hyatt points. If that conversion matters to you, it's worth confirming directly with Hyatt before you commit to a purchase. On the plus side, the resort is affiliated with RCI, so buyers can expect to retain access to RCI's exchange network for swapping their week for stays at other participating resorts.

If you're renting rather than selling, be ready to answer the questions most renters ask: which week or season the unit covers, unit size and sleeping capacity, whether the all-inclusive plan is included in the rental rate, and proximity to the beach and main resort facilities.

Practical Notes

Punta Cana International Airport is the main gateway for this part of the coast, and arranging transfers ahead of arrival tends to save time and hassle on both ends of the trip. December through April is generally the driest, most settled stretch of weather, while June through November falls within the Atlantic hurricane season — worth bearing in mind for travel insurance if you're booking a stay or advertising a rental during those months.
