Punta Cana Dominican Republic

We just visited Clumed Punta Cana with our daughters (3 & 5) and stayed in the Tiara suites for our third time. We went in 2021 for our first time and feel in love with the private pool & beach, customer service and all the fun they have for kids. We were happy to see Crystelle still working along with Tito and many other amazing staff- Pascal was also very kind. Our daughters love the Pirate show, the food /dessert options, getting chocolates on their bed, the kitties all over the resort & the pool. They also have a huge waterpark, circus, swim lessons & amazing spa services. We love the exclusive Tiara suites because you get all the fun of the resort but also have a more small, private, family friendly part of the resort to return to. We tried fishing & our five year old caught her first fish in minutes. We appreciate the staff remembering us by name and our preferences- they went above and beyond to treat us like family. We hope to come back soon! Would definitely recommend!

Club Med Punta Cana was the perfect vacation for our family. Lots for our granddaughter (3.5) loved the kids club and her parents loved the activities. Even my 85 year old mother had a great time. Megan (events manager) was EVERYWHERE and had a smile for everyone! Pepito (entertainment) was also everywhere and seemed to never stop smiling either! The Chief of Sports, Miguel, was so enthusiastic and welcoming that he made everyone feel included. A special shoutout to Pascale and Djenica from the reception desk! They were gracious and lovely dining partners. Djenica gave us a bracelet she made to give to our granddaughter. The people make Club Med special.
There was one thing that could have made our visit even better - it was necessary to call for a cart if you wanted assistance getting to another area of the club. It would have been so much easier to go to a designated "cart stop" and hop on a cart that had a designated loop around the club. Such a large club needs a more reliable way to transport guests.

Context for better perspective:
This was our first one-week vacation as a family—my wife, our 2-year-old daughter, and me. I’m French, my wife is American, and this trip was also to celebrate her birthday.

I mention that I’m French because I’m very critical when it comes to food (which is normal—just something to keep in mind 😊). The details below are not in order of importance:

Price – Every budget is different, but just do the math! Take the total price of your vacation and divide it by the number of days and people. Now imagine that price covering all the activities offered in the village—tennis, water park, archery, plus alcohol and great food. It’s unbeatable!

Room – Beautifully decorated with attention to detail, which really makes a difference.

Ambiance – All Club Med staff greet you with a friendly “Hello,” “Ola,” or “Bonjour” throughout the village.

Responsiveness – The front desk was responsive and even followed up after our requests! I know it sounds too good to be true, but it really happened.

Daycare for our daughter – The staff was very caring and organized, with a checklist before drop-off: diapers, change of clothes, sunscreen, and an introduction to the day’s activities. I can’t remember everything she did, but for a sneak peek: playground, mini golf, tennis, swimming pool, pizza-making, and more. (Ask my wife for the full list!)

Food – I was genuinely impressed. Top quality, not too salty, with multiple stations offering different atmospheres and beautifully presented dishes. If you want a real French culinary experience with lots of variety and refined presentation, you’ve come to the right place. There are two restaurants—one buffet-style, and one more formal.

Surprise for my wife’s birthday – After speaking with the team, they arranged a chocolate cake at the restaurant and a surprise room setup with flowers on the bed. (Free of charge!) Important to highlight: this is all-inclusive.

Living environment – Several pools and bars with plenty of snack and drink options, from BBQ to pastries.

Safety – It felt extremely safe everywhere. Nothing to worry about.

Conclusion:
Imagine a place where your biggest decision is which pool to relax by and which drink to enjoy—surrounded by beautiful Caribbean scenery. Meanwhile, your child is safe, well-fed, and having fun. It’s like a dream! Of course, this isn’t real life—but for one week, it’s an unbeatable price for an unforgettable experience.

We were an extended family group of 6 adults and 2 kids ages 5 and 3, and had the most fun and relaxing vacation ever. Our four immaculate, spacious rooms next to each other on the second floor of Jardin faced the amazing new water park. The kids had a great time enjoying their mini clubs in the morning while adults could relax at zen pool and do various sports. The excursion Dominican Colors was well worth it, and the food was a non-stop feast of unending variety of dishes and fresh produce. What's amazing is the choice of things to do -- so many pools, sports, evening entertainment -- but at the same time, plenty places to have peace and quiet, with ample lounges under shade in the pools and the pristine beach. Would love to make this an annual event!

After three years we returned to this wonderful island of pleasure & fun.
Our expectations were high but easily exceeded. First I like to mention
-as this usually comes later, if at all- the level of cleanliness in all areas but the lavatories in particular. WoW - thanks to all the guys who are doing a fabulous job here! You instantly feel welcomed and the staff is really keen on serving you. Every animator, or G.O.‘s (gentle organizers) how they call themselves knows his or her job, is dedicated and experienced. May it be watersports, pickleball, or any other activity: you are guided and coached by motivated talents. The just recently opened waterpark is adding one more bit of excitement. Another highlight is of cause the circus school including an original trapeze on which you can train for the catch.
But for me the unique selling point, is the food. The choice as well as the quality is simply outstanding. This time we were lucky that only some 60% of the hotel could be booked due to limitations after a fire in September 2024. That meant absolute no hassel especially if it came to the Achilles heel sunbeds and quite crowded restaurants during the rush hours. This hotel has its price but if you see what you get it is reasonable. The package makes the difference - we have already booked for next year…
