I was fortunate to be offered the chance of a four night visit to the Dominican Republic staying at the fully refurbished Club Med Resort. We flew into Punta Cana and arrived at the resort only eight minutes after leaving the airport. Considering the very short transfer time the aircraft noise in the resort is minimal. The resort itself is situated on a private 600 metre beach with excellent facilities for children ranging from flying trapeze lessons to windsurfing and sailing down at the water’s edge. There is a range of rooms from the Club to Deluxe, with the best being the 5* luxury suites facing the ocean with their own private pool area and concierge service. There is a beautiful spa at the very peaceful far end of the resort where we sampled Swedish massages and relaxed by the clear blue Caribbean Sea.
I went on two excursions whilst there, one being an Outback Safari in the Dominican jungle which included zip wiring, kayaking, a buggy tour round the sugar cane fields. Secondly, we set off on a Sunset Cruise in a catamaran along the coast towards Cap Cana currently being developed into a very upmarket area. It was lovely to relax and enjoy the twilight returning to Punta Cana just before the sun set into the sea.
Although there is nowhere within walking distance of the resort, the excellent facilities make up for this and there are plenty of excursions on offer.
