Another incredible stay at Club Med Punta Cana, and once again, I am leaving feeling incredibly grateful for the people who make this place so special. Punta Cana truly feels like a second home to us. We have been coming twice a year for the past three years, and every visit reminds us why we continue to return. The renovations are beautiful, and we are in awe of how much care continues to go into the resort, but what truly makes Club Med feel like home are the people.
At Indigo, Chef Edwin, Chef Jackson, and Chef Ewry went above and beyond to make us a personalized paella that was incredible and delicious. Our wish was their command, and they truly went out of their way to make something special for us on many occassions. Chef Antonio has also become one of our favorites over the years. During this trip, when I was dehydrated and not feeling well, he went to a different restaurant twice to find coconuts for me. That kind of thoughtfulness and care is something we will never forget.
Damaris provided excellent service at breakfast, Martina was so sweet and gracious during our evening dinners, and Yan Carlos was an exceptional server. He is incredibly attuned to our needs, anticipates what we need before we even ask, and is always so gracious and sweet. Jose was wonderful at dinner, and Yorky continues to provide excellent service. He always asks how he can help and genuinely looks for ways to make our experience better. Carolyn was so sweet and loving in the mornings and always anticipated our needs. She would bring me my Prosecco before I even had a chance to ask. Fresir was also absolutely amazing at breakfast, so sweet and kind.
I also want to recognize Elisa, Leidy, and Angela at Indigo. All three were exceptional and added so much to our experience and we love and appreciate them very much.
Vinay, who I believe was the manager at Indigo, was exceptional. He always made sure we had everything we needed, often before we even had a chance to ask. He was constantly directing the team and making sure things were followed through. He was so sweet, kind, and accommodating. Thank you so much, Vinay. We appreciate you.
Josue, who we saw at both Hispaniola and El Mundo, is an actual angel. He takes his work seriously and makes beautiful dishes every time. Every time we see him, he comes from behind his workstation and gives us the biggest, most genuine hugs. Josue is such a gem, and Club Med is so lucky to have him. We also want to recognize Eleanor at Hispaniola, who was exceptional.
Mathiew, the supervisor of sports, was another highlight. He is charismatic, sweet, loving, genuine, and gracious. We spent a lot of time talking with him, and it is so clear that he genuinely cares about people and creating a wonderful experience.
And of course, Damien is THE PARTY. He is the life of the party and completely embodies Club Med and all that it is. We are so lucky to have him. His energy, warmth, authenticity, and ability to bring everyone together are such a huge part of what makes Club Med special.
Dani from the workout team was so sweet, and I love spending time with her and sharing meals together. Mourad was also wonderful. We took one of his Aqua Gym classes years ago, and after he returned to Punta Cana, we asked him to do one again for us. He graciously did, even though it was no longer his role, and it was so much fun and wonderful. The entire dance team was incredible, especially Meleidys and Melanie. They bring so much energy and talent to the resort.
At the bar, Anto is someone we absolutely have to recognize. We love him so much and have invited him to dinner multiple times. He has become a dear friend. His work ethic is exceptional, he is meticulous, always on top of everything, and makes the best drinks we have ever had. We would literally wait for his drinks because we knew they would be made with care. He leads his team with such grace and his work is impeccable. He has such a beautiful smile and he was so diligent and attentive. Anto is truly exceptional, and Club Med is lucky to have him.
At reception, Edwin was incredible. We spent quite a bit of time hanging out with him and even invited him to dinner. Sephara, Fabie, Rajaa, and Leika were also wonderful. I especially want to acknowledge the guest relations team because they worked tirelessly to resolve any concerns or issues we had. Reception has not always been as helpful on previous stays, but this team was different. Everything we needed or asked for was handled promptly and with so much care and grace. We truly appreciate them.
We also want to recognize the two DJs. Even though it was low season, they always kept the party going and always played wonderful music. They helped create such a fun atmosphere and brought so much energy to the resort.
Abdel was also extremely accommodating this trip. Any request we made, he readily agreed to and was so gracious. We truly appreciated his willingness to help and the care he showed us throughout our stay.
I also want to take a moment to recognize all of the people who work behind the scenes to keep Club Med Punta Cana running and looking its best. The housekeeping teams, maintenance teams, grounds crews, the people who clear the seaweed from the beach, the lifeguards, and everyone else who is constantly working throughout the resort deserve so much appreciation. There are people working all day, every day, to keep the resort clean, safe, beautiful, comfortable, and in tip top shape. Much of that work happens quietly in the background, but as returning guests, we absolutely notice it and appreciate it. Thank you for everything you do.
One of the most special things about coming back to Club Med Punta Cana is that the staff no longer feel like staff to us. They have become family. We literally go on vacation and leave with new friends and new family every time. That is something truly special, and it is a testament to the people who work here and the way they make guests feel.
We love Club Med Punta Cana. It truly feels like our second home, and we are so grateful for every person who contributes to making it that way. Thank you to the entire Club Med team for everything you do, both what guests see and what happens behind the scenes. We appreciate you more than you know, and we cannot wait to see you all again.
