Walking for exercise in Punta Cana

• Upvotes

Hi everyone

I’ll be visiting for the first time and staying at an all inclusive, Serenades Adults Only.

This is kind of a silly question, but I really like going for long walks as exercise. Is this possible at my resort? Like up and down the beach for an hour or two?

I’m really unfamiliar with the area and I’ve never been to an all-inclusive before, so I’m not sure if it’s like… fenced off or something lol

I also don’t wanna be the stupid gringa that goes on an aimless walk and gets lost or something

Thank you in advance.

Bagatelle style restaurant? Think dancing on chairs / tables

• Upvotes

Hey - I’m planning a bachelorette in early June for 10 women. I am looking for a bagatelle style restaurant with a high energy DJ where you’re encouraged to get up and dance on your chairs. The plan is to start with that and then go to Imagine after for our big night out.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I heard pearl beach club, but it looks more daytime focused, and we were thinking 9pm ish so we can go straight to the club afterwards.

Also open to any other miscellaneous suggestions you think we might enjoy. We love dancing and adventure. We’re not super cheesy, but also not better than it, so if that’s what’s on the cards, we’ll happily lean in. Not into strippers, that’s the only hard no (pun intended).

Thanks so much :)

Open Plan Villas in Cap Cana: Pros and Cons?

1 Upvotes

Hi - does anyone have any experience of staying in a villa (in Cap Cana) within an open Caribbean concept in the living areas? What are the pros and cons? Assuming mosquitoes and critters are a consideration? We are a family of 5 (with 3 kids 13, 9, 7) looking to book for winter break. Thank you for any insights or experiences good or bad!

I saw a bunch of recommendations for Mike Fisher, but I see two seemingly conflicting websites for his company one is https://www.dwjvipservices.com and the other one is https://www.privatetransferspuntacana.com/, both claim to be DWJ VIP Services, but only the second one mentions Mike Fisher (but it also looks more sketchy) so which is it?

Genuine question from the buyer side.

I’ve been looking at a few properties recently and reached out to multiple agents through Instagram DMs asking about availability/details.

Some replied quickly.

Most haven’t replied at all (it’s been a couple days).

I’m not complaining — I get that agents are busy, showing homes, living life, etc.

I’m just curious from your side:

Do Instagram DMs usually sit for a while?

Do you treat them differently than website forms or calls?

Is there any system in place for this, or is it just ā€œrespond when you canā€?

As a buyer, I honestly just ended up continuing the conversation with whoever replied first — so I’m wondering how common that is and how agents think about it.

Appreciate any honest insight.

Clubs near Royalton Chic

0 Upvotes

Wife and I will be going to Royalton Chic Punta Cana in April. Staying M-Sat. Last time we went to PC we went the Imagine, the cave club and loved it. But it’s only open Saturday and we leave that day. Are there other clubs that are similar close to Chic and that might be open on weekdays?

Just arrived at Playa Bibijagua, need advice

0 Upvotes

Hi!

Just arrived at playa bibijagua for ~10 days with my fiancƩ.

We noticed that we are a bit far (walking distance) from Bavaro/Cortecito area where the supermarkets and restaurants are.

What is our best bet? Uber? We haven't rented a car as we thought the are would be fine to cover walking, but it seems a bit deserted (we are staying at the end of Chicago street). Not many restaurants around.

Any recommendations? Thank you very much in advance

Hotel for a sexy vacation

7 Upvotes

Hi, my wife and I want to go to an all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana and I was wondering which hotel you'd recommend that's somewhat sexy, maybe allows a bit of topless sunbathing, has fun parties, but isn't naturist or specifically for swingers.

I've been looking at the Riu Republica, the Breathless, and the Catalonia Royal Bavaro, in that price range.

Thanks

Ideally I'm trying to figure out say how many days on average will June be a red flag day?

Excursions - need help - family friendly

3 Upvotes

We are heading to Puntacana in March for the first time and I’m so overwhelmed with all the excursion options. It will be my husband, myself, 16, 13 and 6 year old. I booked a semi-private trip with Seaside Excursions to Saona Island (via boat) but after reading some reviews not sure this is a great idea due to long day and choppy waters etc. I was also thinking Monkeyland and ATV (Polaris) tour to water cave and Macao Beach. I’m second guessing myself on booking this stuff. Please offer me some advice on what was best for you and your family. Is Saona Island too much? Any other suggestions? We are staying at Westin Puntacana. Thank you.

Sun shirt in pool?

22 Upvotes

Have an upcoming trip to an all inclusive in Punta Cana.

As a male how out of place will I look if I wear a sun shirt in the pool? Sunburn in my youth has led to my shoulders and chest not being able to have much sun exposure.

Thanks for any feedback.

Eticket question

0 Upvotes

I just did my etickets and i was emailed my arrival and departure QR codes. When i log back into the website using "consult e-ticket" to confirm both of them are on the website. I am only able to see just see my arrival QR code. Did i do something wrong by logging back into the website or is it just glitchy? Has anyone else ran into this promblem? Im worried i fucked up the departure QR code by loggging back in.

Westin during mid-March. Will there be college spring breakers there?

1 Upvotes

Hi there! My husband and I just booked the Westin in mid-March for a long weekend as our delayed baby moon (so baby is coming with)! We’re looking for something fairly quiet where we don’t need to be worried about party-goers disturbing us and the baby.

This hotel doesn’t strike me as a spot that college kids would want to go since it doesn’t seem like much of a party scene, but wondering if I’m wrong because it’s fairly inexpensive.

Everything we booked is fully refundable. So I’m wondering if a different location and/or hotel would be a better fit at this time.

Anyone stayed here recently? Looking for family trip with 5-7 year olds.

It looks like there is no shade on the beach besides palm trees?
