A few lovely folks have asked where my lucky ass went last week…
I went to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and stayed at Natura Park Beach - EcoResort & Spa. I really liked it, despite the reviews online being mixed.
I paid C$1,100 for the week, but met people who had paid as low as C$575 for the week there, and as high as C$1,800. The grounds were STUNNING and the rooms were good enough for me. To be honest though, I really don’t care about the resorts themselves - it’s all about the beach baby, and this place? this place’s beach was gooooood.
That’s actually the reason we chose it - because it was on the end of a strip of resorts, which meant absolutely deserted beaches right next to us, aka amazing times with zero people around.
Depending on the site, I’ve seen it ranked as low as 3 stars and as high as 5 (which it’s not), but it was good. Night entertainment was INCREDIBLE, and despite it being a “family” resort there weren’t many kids, just lots of people my age (including good looking guys who I managed to cock-block myself with).
The food was delicious, sadly I had to stay away from all things healthy because of the water; my friend got sick, I didn’t - so it was touch n’ go, but that’s Dominican for you. There are also TONS of activities during the day and excursions.
Hope that helps!!
