Hotel Club Med Punta Cana

I can only say this was a great vacation.
Warm welcome at the airport and then at the Club (very short shuttle time 10 minutes and NO planes noise). The good-bye was even warmer, you had the feeling that you are leaving friends...
Rooms are very nice, not luxurious, but fonctionnal and very adapted for families : extra room for young kids, big shower, 2 basins, big dressing with safe, very good bed quality (and I am really difficult...).
The village is beautiful, you also feel very safe, as security guards are always running around in this hugh place.
Food : excellent, nothing to claim. The gala evening is really nice :-)
Sure there are some birds in the Hispaniola restaurant, but to be honnest, I had expected it worse by reading some comments before flying there. If you want an open restaurant (and this is wonderful), there are some small compromises to do...
I could tell hours long about this excellent vacation, but I would like to point out the people who really make the difference. The GO are really fantastic, all of them.
Special mention for the MINI CLUB and the Team (Juju, Lulu, Andrea, Ocean and ...Tom-Tom of course !) They were so involved and incredibly patient & nice with children, from morning til evening. I even saw Ocean chasing crabs with kids on her day-off ! Tom-Tom called our daughter on the stage (for the kids show) on the very first day : although the poor guy was sweating in his animal costume, he already knew her by name and had recognized her in the dark audience...
Last but not least : Anna. Beautiful young Canadian woman, GO-nurse. Lovely person who did us the pleasure to share many meals with our family. None of us turned out to be sick during our week there, but if it happens to be the case, you can be sure that Anna will bring back a smile on your face.
Thanks also to the Circus School team (Andrée, Ibby, etc): trapeze :-)
We had a great time in Punta Cana, even if yes... there are mosquitos :-( Take enough stuff with you. Sure there is the "boutique" but prices are really accordingly...
We left the village after a unforgettable week of vacation. Just so sorry that our camera was stolen during the night-flight back to Europe... Incredible but true... All our memories were gone, which was cruel, as our girls are still young and might forget with time. The Showtimepictures Team (thanks Terlan !) came to our rescue and they screened our complete week to find pictures of us and prepare a CD for us. This was a real favour (you are supposed to choose and buy your pictures on site) and we are so aware (and thankful) for this.
I would love to go back, but I would surely choose again a quiet period like this one in October, because I really enjoyed this relaxed ambiance. The "fight" for free places at the pool in August is not so much fun I guess.
Conclusion : OK, Club Med is not cheap at all, but you know what you get for your money. And this is worth it.
