Fodor's "Whimsy and camaraderie are characteristic of this family-friendly resort... redesigned and situated on 75 tropical acres, with a coastline of white-sandy shores." Full review
Lonely Planet "Club Med offers young, enthusiastic international staff and activities galore; it’s especially good for parents looking to outsource care for their kids and teenagers."
Travel + Leisure "On the Dominican’s eastern shore, the all-inclusive Club Med Punta Cana sits on a private...beach. ... The 553 tri-level bungalows are spread throughout the resort's manicured tropical landscape." Full review
Star Service "This all-inclusive village resort, which was only the second hotel to open in the region more than three decades ago, is located close to the airport, but not close enough to be bothered by the noise." Full review

It is a tad more pricy than the nearby and similar Punta Cana Resort and Club, while travelers seeking to avoid the ruckus of children having a good time might consider the deluxe and tranquil Tortuga Bay Hotel.
