The Puntacana Hotel Punta Cana

... was there...so near..<br>The lunch time was like a picnic in the Caribbean.<br>The afternoon was full of activities, beachvolley, snorkeling, dancing and relax!<br>The return hour arrive TOO early! and at 6.30 pm I was in my hotel again with the fantastic remember of nice people and a great experience.<br>WOW...that was nice but I have more incredible adventure for my next trip to the DR!<br>See you again...Bianca

... the spiders creep me out a little, I enjoy both them and the lizards because the mosquitos aren't so bad in the reserve as they could be.<br><br>The lagoons are nothing short of breathtaking. The water in the lagoons is a good 10 degrees colder, if not more, than the ocean. It is crystal clear and you can see straight to the bottom whether it is 1 foot or 9. Swimming in the lagoons are Tilapia, turtles and crawfish. The foliage and everything around ...

... My driver's name was Felix and I quickly learn that Dominican people may be some of the nicest I will ever meet. For example, I run into Felix later the next night at the Employees Club (hereon referred to as "the Club") donning a white tee, jeans and "Chucks" (converse) just beaming at me with his brilliant white teeth.<br><br> At the Foundation I meet Ivelisse who is the Coordinator for Virginia Tech groups in Punta Cana. She ...

Fui en el autobus a el Parque Nacional del Este. Fui a acampar en el parque y fui a pescar en el agua. Fui a subir en las arboles. Fue a estar fenomenal. Fui a ver los animales. Muchos iguanas en la Republica de Dominicana. La Republica de Dominicana tiene muchos animales. En el Parque Nacional del Este, fui a comer bocadillos.

... beach (at least some of it, didn't have much patience for all)... the weather was nice all the time - sunny, breezy and warm...although some people told us that just a week ago it had been raining nonstop for days, so - I guess we picked a good time to come...but our only complaint (although - who can you complain to about the weather?) was the wind one day...it was still a sunny day, but very-very windy, and I mean - very!...a wedding happened to ...

... tried to learn how to windsurf. We also went swimming with sea lions, a highlight for me. It was a great trip, although the last day and the few days after were unfortunately ruined by both of us getting pretty sick...Montezuma's Revenge claimed its latest victims!<br>

... the moment. We liked Germany in that match, along with the (one) other lady we saw who wore a t-shirt that had a (small) Deutsch flag on it over her swimsuit, but of course nobody heard a peep from us, in case we stood out more than we already did, being the only Asians in the whole resort complex as it was. After the match, it was straight back to the very inviting pool at Caribe. In fact, we spent some time at that pool and poolside bar every single day, beginning with arrival day!

... sure I will not feel out of place again...I learned a lot of lessons after this trip - I'd say that is the only savings grace...<br><br>I know I won't stay at another Club Med - very disappointed in it. And despite my horrible time I cannot really blame DR for the bad time, as I didn't even leave the resort - but the bad taste has been left and I will just never go back! <br>

... things really started to bother me. The hotel really tries to get you to interact with staff and other guests - which just really isn't my style. I don't like to make small talk and I don't like to be put into these situations...Well, at club med they sit you at large tables with guests and their staff also comes to sit with you as well.<br><br>We were the only guests there in our ...

... and I had to fight with the airline to wait for her as she had FINALLY arrived and was trying to get past security. I had to threaten to not get on the plane unless she was there in order to get them to wait the extra 2 minutes - luckily she got there and we were able to continue on our way. <br><br>When we arrived we checked into Club Med. It was an all inclusive resort and we had booked our trips separately as we were leaving from different ...
