Punta Cana Grand
Resort
Looking for an Exclusive, Five Star, all Inclusive Resort? Then, the Punta Cana Grand is for you!
The
Punta Cana Grand is one of a kind resort in Punta Cana. This place is a
5 star all inclusive resort with an incredible service and 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 only 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 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, 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 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.
