Our family went to this resort 3 years ago for a family reunion and had a great time. This year we went to celebrate our parents 50 th wedding anniversary. We were a group of 36. The front desk people were of little to no help on several issues. At one point my brothers air conditioning and electricity was out for most of the day and he demanded that the front desk person and maintence go to his room with him to fix it. Several of us had stomach problems and we also learned that two other large family groups had also been sick. The young adult boys that were with us were harrassed several times, because a GO didn't think they were old enough to drink. They give you colored coded bracelets upon check in, so we didn't understand why this was happening. Strangely my 16 year old niece was offered by a bartender to make her an alcoholic drink. My brother overheard this and quickly informed the bartender that is daughter was only 16! The GO's spend way to much time clapping for themselves in all kinds of entertainment, really overdone.
We would NOT return to this Club Med.

I just got back from a week in club med punta cana.
I was looking for place to go on vacation with our 2 young children 5 months and 24 months.

I had read a lot of the reviews before we left and found them to be mostly accurate so I'll try to just add and not repeat.

I read a lot about people getting sick so I was extra careful not to drink the tap water, I also mostly avoided the "filtered water" they left in jugs on the restaurant tables and drank the filtered water from the soda machine. I never got sick but some of our friends did, I guess it was the water as they brushed their teeth with the tap water.

Bugs... there were some mosquitoes but nothing compared to some other Caribbean spots I've been to , little bit of bug spray was all I used on a few nights & barely got bitten

The kids camps had great facilities and are well staffed, there was a lot of crying in the mornings at drop off in the petite club (2's & 3's) but I guess this is a problem when day care or school is new to kids.

Our room had some mold which I wasn't too happy about


Overall we had a great vacation.

Our company chose this resort as a reward for our top sales people. We are based in California so just getting there was quite the adventure. Once at the resort the service I felt was good, not great. As Americans we were a large group and this resort primarily catars to French families. Only one person in our group brought their kids but as parents this wasn't a problem.

I'll start with the good stuff. The beaches are spectacular and the weather was perfect. For just laying around this place cannot be beat. The beach bar offered cold beer, drinks, and decent snacks throughout the day. The gym was very well equipped and more than adequate for our short stay. The spa services were excellent and the spa staff very attentive. We did a group snorkling trip and this was ok, this is not a divers paradise but still fun.

That being said now the bad. Only one restaurant was open and that was it for breakfast , lunch, and dinner. The selection and variety were ok at best and several people in our group ended up getting very sick during and after our stay. We think it was the water but who knows. This made what was overall a very nice place not so nice.

Traveling 16 hours home sick was no fun.

I just returned from spending a week in Club Med Punta Cana. I cannot believe all of the changes that are being made throughout the resort. I just wanted to take a moment and share with you what I experienced while I was there. The two most remarkable changes to me were the additions of the new oceanfront Tiara suites and the new Spa. I had a chance to experience both first-hand and they were nothing short of spectacular. Along with being both spacious and beautiful, the oceanfront suites come with their own private infinity pool, concierge service, and numerous other amenities. The Spa is not done justice by the pictures. It is so peaceful and relaxing, and the entire staff was very impressive. I took advantage of the opportunity and got a Swedish massage. The entire treatment process, from a swim in the Spa's infinity pool before, to the time spent drinking tea in the Zen lounge after, was fantastic. I have also had the opportunity to check out the new Mini Club Med and the water park for the children's clubs. There is so much for children of any age to do there, and the supervision the staff provides is exceptional. It makes me want to be a kid all over again. All around the property, which is over 70 acres, the gardens and the buildings are beautiful maintained. Needless to say I would recommend Club Med Punta Cana to anyone looking for an amazing vacation in an amazing destination. I cannot wait to see the resort after all of the other renovations are completed.
