Punta
Cana Grand Resort (Grand Oasis Punta Cana)
Looking for an
Exclusive, Five Star, all Inclusive Resort?
The Punta Cana Grand (now
the Grand Oasis Punta Cana) is one of a kind resort
in Punta Cana. This place is a 5 star all inclusive
resort
with an incredible service.
It has a great amount of
options to have fun.
Now, this resort is a small one which means the walking from one area
to the other is quite minimal. With more than 346 rooms and 8
suites
this resort has an aura of great exclusivity. The area is very well
cleaned and organized, this includes the beach where the seaweeds are
raked off quite frequently. Once again families with children,
honeymooners, couples, and young singles can all find something to
enjoy in this one of a kind resort.

I say one of a kind
because even by being quite small this resort can
match any of the biggest ones in service and options. Finding the
restaurants, places for night shows,
bars, casinos, and
other services is way easier in this resort, precisely because of it’s
small size unlike many bigger resorts where finding something simple
like a restaurant can be a very demanding task.
Rooms
The rooms
at the Punta Cana Grand are equipped as you would expect from a 5
star
resort. English and Caribbean architecture are part
of the beautiful design of this accommodations. The terraces and
balconies with either ocean or pool view will relax even the most
stressed visitor. A king size bed or 2 queen beds, telephone, satellite
TV, air condition, safe deposit, mini bar that is restocked daily, and
a very good looking bathroom complement this amazing scenario. Rooms
are neat with big space and pretty much anything you would want to have
where you live in. The room service at the Punta Cana Grand (Grand
Oasis Punta Cana) is fantastic,
they will bring anything that you might require and more. Of course
tipping always help to improve the service especially here, the staff
works very hard to ensure you have a nice stay and they will do
whatever it takes for you to have the accommodations that you wish to
get.
Pool
and Beach
This extraordinary 5 star resort counts with 3
pools well distributed among the area. At the Punta Cana
Grand (Grand Oasis), there is the main pool where you will
noticed some bridges, small islands,
breathtaking architecture
surrounding it, and the almost imperative swim up bar. You will see
many chairs around like in most pools in Punta Cana and yes you will
need to save them with a towel but is not that drastic as in other
resorts because the crowd here is not that big. The shallow pool for
children is a nice area to consider for the kids where they can do
pretty much all the splashing they love to do. You cannot forget the
pool with Jacuzzi and a private bar that is for adults only. This one
tends to be the first one to be full, so unless you want to get up
really early I wouldn’t
count on it too much.
The beach around here has over 1000 feet of
white sand marvel with crystal clear water and is also protected by a
coral reef. Scuba diving near the reef can be done but you will have to
deal with an excursion that almost always involves an extra fee. The
seaweeds are annoying as usual but the staff makes the most to take
care of it and make the beach look cleaner.
Food
The meals at the Punta Cana
Grand (Grand Oasis Punta Cana) to "die for". The 4 restaurants around
here really can deliver. The Windows international buffet is the main
one where you can eat all your meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and
they have an excellent service where they provide exceptional international
cuisine. The always needed a la carte
restaurants in here are among the best in Punta Cana. You can expect
the Da Mario's Ristorante Italiano (as you can see
it is an Italian restaurant) to have a romantic environment that will
transport you to Italy. Unlike most restaurants in Punta Cana this one
won’t require a reservation but long pants dressing will be necessary
to attend. The American grill Tex-Mex Restaurant
which specialize in south western grilled food and have a nice western
music. No reservation required for this restaurant either but just in
case follow the dress code.
Once a week they prepare a dinner candle light meal which seems like a
very romantic set for couples. Remember that the a la carte
restaurants are only open during dinner time so for breakfast and lunch
your choice will be the buffet.
Entertainment
Many features are part of
this vacation spot like: the spa (whirlpool baths, facial treatments,
saunas, massage cabins, juice bar), additional charge for spa
treatments. Perfectly well equipped gym with a professional trainer. At
the Punta Cana Grand there are 3 breathtaking golf courses
just 30 minutes away from the Punta Cana Grand resort. There is a
bicycle center where they provide rides around Punta Cana, tennis
center with weekly tournaments and private lessons (extra charge),
volleyball where you can play: 1 on 1, pairs or the hotel staff vs.
guests in the afternoon. The equipment
for the water sports will be available, for example:
catamarans, kayaks, windsurfing lessons, boogie boards,
snorkeling tours, banana boats,
sailboats, and deep
sea fishing excursions. Free
scuba diving lessons in the pool will be part of the deal. I
got a weakness for the water sports as they are my favorite but you can
do pretty much anything you like even when sadly you won’t have time to
do all that you wish.
For the kids the Explorer's Club is a supervised
children program where they arrange many activities like: going to
the zoo, making sand castles,
etc. plus they got a night movie program. The Punta Cana Grand Resort
posses 5 bars (the swim up bar, the piano bar, the beach garden
restaurant, a bar which is located in the adult part only, and the bar
in the Disco). In the theater area where they provide the night shows
there is also a bar. For the night show there is
presented the artist imitations and dancers that even with low budget
they make their best to provide a nice entertainment. The music in the
Disco is good but as you know by being in the Dominican Republic you
will hear a lot of merengue
and ultimately the crowd in there will provide the necessary atmosphere
for it to be a party an environment.
