Punta Cana Dominican Republic

The sailing team was attentive, kind and patient. Sherif was amazing and took the extra time to give me pointers!!! Super helpful and a wonderful time!!!!! Can’t wait to come back and try sailing again. You should definitely stop here and sign up for lessons!! Youre able to go out on your own

We traveled to Club Med Punta Cana with two other families (six kids total, ages 4 to 8) and had an incredible experience that far surpassed our expectations. Having only been to one all-inclusive years ago - and reading some mixed reviews beforehand - we arrived with tempered hopes. But from the moment we checked in to the moment we left, it was pure fun and relaxation for both kids and adults.

If you're a family who enjoys staying active, this place is a dream (although you can lounge on the beach or at the Zen pool full time, too). I joined daily fitness classes from ocean aqua gym to abs & glutes to yoga, while my husband picked up kite surfing and also did archery and volleyball every day. Meanwhile, we all looked forward to the daily coffee and trivia sessions (even when losing to a trivia-loving French crew who somehow knew more about American pop culture than we did).

The kids called it “paradise,” even after a pretty intense sun rash incident (bring lots of sunscreen - our oldest refused to wear a rash guard or "nerdy" sunhat a couple of days and paid for it). The Kids Club was the true highlight—our children were so well cared for and had an absolute blast. We got real adult time while feeling confident our kids were in great hands. The 8-year-olds got to show some independence, which they loved and handled with pride. And although they were "too cool" to participate in the final evening performance rehearsal, they were screaming the loudest in the audience and unanimously decided they want to come back and participate next year.

We can’t say enough about the staff - everyone we met on the grounds was amazing. Extra huge thanks to Banana, who made our families feel so welcomed—our kids adored him (and insisted on farewell hugs and photos). They also formed summer-camp-level bonds with Davison “Broccoli,” Jeffson, Christelle, Hinde, and Vero. And a big shoutout to James for keeping the dads moving and motivated, and Milagrita, our fabulous housekeeper.

Finally, the rooms and food are good - we stayed in the basic family suite (beds were a bit hard, and the AC left us congested each morning, but layout/overall met our needs). The buffet worked wonderfully for our group, especially for kids—it offered something for everyone (we paid for good wine). And we’re already missing the daily piña coladas, chinola mojitos, and espresso martinis.

We’ve officially become Club Med converts and are already planning our return—to Punta Cana and beyond!

We spent two weeks at ClubMed Punta Cana in April and had an incredible stay. Though we expected some disruption due to the reconstruction works, the impact was minimal, and it didn’t affect our holiday at all.

The resort is impressively well-run under Chef de Village Abdel (with Romain doing a great job in his absence). From housekeeping to entertainment, everything ran smoothly and the staff was consistently warm and welcoming. Special mention to Virginie, the Head Chef—every meal was a treat, as well as at the à la carte restaurant we tried for my birthday.

The Mini Club team — Banana, Vero, Ralph, and Davidson—were outstanding, creating a fun and connected environment for the kids. Our children were eager to keep playing with their new friends even outside club hours.

We always look for good sports facilities, and the tennis team (Ramon and Alvaro) didn’t disappoint. While private lessons were pricey (1.5-2x London prices), the setup and vibe were excellent. Fitness classes were another highlight—Melanie, Cynthia, Ricardo, and especially James made every session enjoyable. We appreciated the diverse team of GOs from around the world, all bringing great energy to the resort.

Entertainment was top-notch, with professional dancers and a great events calendar. Youyou stood out for his charisma, presence, and leadership—he’s a star in the making!

As Platinum guests, we finally saw real value in the loyalty programme here—thanks to Manon and William, who were attentive and helpful. The new facilities like the adult Zen area and the water park were fantastic upgrades since our last visit in 2015.

We loved the photo package offering—while not cheap, it’s a great way to capture memories and worth it for a longer stay.

There’s room for improvement in the gym (equipment updates and better maintenance), and we’d love to see more variety in the fitness class schedule and better space planning as they rebuild.

Overall, ClubMed Punta Cana remains our favourite Easter destination. We’re already planning our return next year!

We loved our visit with an extended family of 15. Lots of fun for the kids and adults. The kids loved the new water part, it was great. The new deluxe rooms were the best we ever stayed in with a family, they really had plenty of room and privacy too.

I have been visiting Club Med Punta Cana for over 20 years and every year it seems to get better. The food is great and the accommodations are wonderful, but what really makes this place so great is the staff. They are always so kind, accommodating, helpful and enthusiastic! I especially want to shout out Meaghan, Youyou, Matthieu, Roman, Manon and Pascaline for making it feel like a home away from home! They are seriously the best and it wouldn't have been the same trip without them! I already can't wait to go back again next year!
