TMR Quebec flew to the Dominican Republic with over 100 journalists and travel advisors to rediscover the newly renovated Club Med Punta Cana. On the agenda: explore new facilities, immerse yourself in the Club Med experience, discover the reimagined resort, and explore nearby Club Med Miches Playa Esmeralda.
Located in the heart of the Caribbean, Club Med Punta Cana has been known as a premier all-inclusive resort for decades. Now, the resort has been given a new, more contemporary look, staying true to the brand’s signature lifestyle of relaxation, conviviality and discovery. TMR Quebec joined us on this press trip to visit the 41-hectare property, set on a golden sandy beach fringed with palm trees.
A village redesigned for a more intimate experience
The recent renovation demonstrates Club Med’s commitment to continually improve its standards and strengthen its upscale and family-friendly positioning, without betraying its core identity. Among the new amenities, the modernized Hispaniola Restaurant and Bonavista Lounge breathe new life into the heart of the resort. Redesigned in a bohemian-chic style, the rooms combine comfort with modern design, incorporating local materials and a color palette inspired by Dominican nature. The lobby has become more intimate, prioritizing personalized services and relaxation areas, reflecting the group’s lifestyle philosophy.
Dominican way of life, Club Med style
The resort is a journey through sports, wellness, local culture and gastronomy. The guest experience has been reimagined, with separate areas for families and adults only, a variety of activities for all ages, and personalized service in the Exclusive Collection section. All spaces seem rooted in Dominican tradition and Club Med philosophy. The idea is to create memorable moments that are all accessible and elegant.
