The property is also home to Ocean World Adventure Park and a world-class casino. Needless to say, there is truly something for everyone.The marina offers 104 slips that accommodate boats up to 250 feet and roofed dry-rack storage for 200 boats up to 32 feet in length. First-class amenities include a spa, salon, gym, gift shop, car rentals and a concierge service. Ocean World is an official port of entry for the Dominican Republic, with navy, customs and immigration facilities on-site, a bonus convenience for visitors. Activities abound and include golfing, fishing, horseback riding and even white-water rafting. Scuba divers can explore shimmering reefs, shipwrecks, underwater gardens and canyons in the warm turquoise waters. Ocean World Adventure Park boasts the largest man-made dolphin habitat in the world. Guests can interact with marine animals and swim with - and pet and feed - dolphins, sea lions, sharks and stingrays. Walk through the park's tropical rain forest and spot exotic tropical birds. At Tiger Grotto you can get wild and take a protected swim alongside these ferocious cats.

When the sun is setting, move indoors for some gaming at Ocean World Casino. Slots and table games supply Las Vegas excitement in a luxury setting. The Bravissimo Show is a dance review with 30 dancers in vibrant costumes moving to Caribbean rhythms. The Lighthouse Lounge & Disco is on the top floor of the casino and a terrific place to party and dance with a 360-degree view of the resort. Restaurants include the Poseidon, which has a stellar menu and an extensive wine list and overlooks the marina and pool.
