Punta Cana Dominican Republic

Club Med is a special place! I love the app, all the activities, and the suggested dress code. If you go, pack for the dress code!--the pictures look amazing!!--it really adds to the overall theme of UNITY (Club 45).
Construction is nearly complete on a large structure, which is going to be beautiful.
The Zen Oasis, the 18+ area, is tranquil and it's easy to lose track of time.
I had a massage at the spa, which was priced well, and I left feeling great.
Our room was spotless, and our request for extra coffee and water was met immdiately. The bed was comfortable, and I even fell asleep on th couch a few times. We never heard our neighbors, and we slept well.
The food was tasty, and Chef Antonio at Indigo created beautiful bites.
Shows every night! The My Club Med App is a must, there are more activities than you can believe.
Yoga classes in the Palapa were my favorite.

The best part? THE INCREDIBLE STAFF!

These people truly made my week:
Miguel, Sport Manager
Guy
Vero "Coconut"
Damienn
Dani
Melanie
Cynthia

I will return, hopefully with my entire family!!! I LOVE CLUB MED

The first knock came at 9:59 AM. A savage pounding that rattled my skull like a firing squad. I’d been up until 3 AM drinking rum, so the intrusion felt personal. I stumbled into a robe, flung open the door - only to find nothing. A ghost. A Caribbean poltergeist?

Ten minutes later, it came again. I realized now it was housekeeping: smiling, insistent, armed with fresh sheets and industrial-strength sprays. In broken Spanish I explained I didn’t need to be changed daily like a helpless baby, but they came back again anyway - sometimes ten minutes later, sometimes half an hour. Day after day, like clockwork, a Kafkaesque ritual of pounding doors and polite refusals. Somewhere, I imagined, the universe was laughing at me. Perhaps it was telling me to stop drinking.

By midafternoon I’d crawl out of my cave, sunglasses glued to my face, and stagger into the sun. The resort itself was a carnival of distractions: golf swings, pools, volleyball, waterslides. The food was glorious - beef, pork, shellfish, pasta piled into towers that would shame a Roman emperor. I ate like a condemned man, then lurched into the club nights where the same Top 40 hits echoed with Groundhog Day persistence. Alone, of course. The GOs, allegedly the lifeblood of Club Med’s social scene, treated me like a phantom, while other guests also scattered from my resting sour face. Maybe my loneliness was self-inflicted.

By Day 5, the vibe totally curdled. Staff who’d previously greeted me by name suddenly looked through me, as if a switch had been flipped. Coincidentally—or not—this was right after my meltdown at the concierge desk, when I finally snapped about the endless morning knocking. From that moment, I got the sense that everyone, staff and guests alike, wanted me gone. Honestly, so did I.

And yet, it wasn’t all bad. The weather was forgiving, the food always rich, the drinks always prompt. Club Med Punta Cana was less a vacation and more like a fever dream: part absurd comedy, part bureaucratic nightmare, laced with sunshine, duck fat, and the steady pounding at my door. Would I return? Probably not. But it left me with a story, a headache, and a strange respect for the persistence of their housekeeping.

My wife and I spent our time here for the first 5 days of our honeymoon. Everything was perfect! The food was delicious, the drinks were good, and there were a lot of activities available as well! We did sailing, kayaking, horseback riding, zip lining, trapeze, and many more. We particularly enjoyed the nightly shows and dancing. They had some traditional Dominican dances, dance shows, and even a Michael Jackson show! But what really made this trip so amazing were the G.O.s. They were all super nice and welcoming. When we got there Lauranne, Zen Oasis Management, showed us around the Zen Oasis (where we were staying) and even organized a honeymoon dinner and special decorations for our room! Miguel, the sports manager, was super fun and always went out of his way to come say hi and have a conversation with us. Jojo invited us to a kayaking tour and then to dinner as well which was a great time and we met some really sweet people from several different countries! Overall, this was such a special trip and the people there were so awesome! They really made us feel included and went out of their way to make our honeymoon special! 10/10 recommend.
