We stayed the last 2 weeks of October in the Tiara area of the resort. A great experience, they cannot do enough for you. The accommodation is a separate room with 2 single bed, a shower room and a double bedroom with en suite BATH not shower and integrated lounge area. The view is spectacular from the veranda as you are right on the waters edge. The infinity pool is also only for Tiara guests and there was never any problem finding beds. Towels are plentiful and drinks are brought to you. Great friendly staff both infant and behind the bar. We were impressed by the selection of food but the "Indigo" restaurant that you need to book served the worst food we had all holiday. Otherwise the food was fabulous, specially breakfast delivered to our room. Marie and Etianne at Tiara are very helpful and very friendly they helped make a memorable holiday.

As the title states we have returned for our 2nd trip to Club Med in Punta Cana, both times we have stayed at the Zen Oasis and have had a wonderful time. What mainly attracted us here is Creactive and we were happy to see familiar faces from when we were there in May of 2016. We were able to enjoy the Polaris excursion which is a lot of fun and also some downtime at the spa, both I highly recommend. Food, activities and shows kept us busy and entertained. We would like to thank the following staff for a wonderful visit.

Food Services - Hector(Samana), Stephanie(Indigo)
Creative team - Artem, Leanna, Michelle, Malia, Miles, Sebastian, Ivan, Izzie, Arkadiy, Mickey
Everyone at the Zen Oasis, food services and reception.

See you all next year!

Nice room but very bad smell around in the oasis zen part probably (a dump near?)
Nice beach but full of algae impossible to swim during the three first days : then better after cleaning
No help from the “public relation services” many people to do few things no welcome no goodbye no help for airplane ticket change
Nice GO to have a drink at the bar but no help to take the boat out of the water,
Overbooked chairs at the beach without control
Otherwise the site could be nice the GE at the restaurant are nice and food is good thanks to the chief cooker !!

This was our 3rd outing to the Dominican Republic and as usual met all of the usual expectations: Great food, friendly GO's, excellent amenities and activities—and the rooms were just right. You can opt for the 5-Trident adult bungalows, which include updated interiors and space, private bar and infinity pool, but then it does run somewhat counter to the culture Club Med has built over the last "45-plus" years. It most likely comes down to the marketing mavens, who are always seeking new ways to improve the bottom line (Club Med was recently bought out).
Many of the islands in the Caribbean suffered incredible damage, including the DR, however the wind and storm surge appeared minimal compared to the total devastation incurred on islands like Dominica, Barbuda and St. Maarten. Most of the palms on the beach appeared more like telephone poles and offered little shade from the sun during 35˚+ days. The grounds crews were hard at work cutting, trimming and improving the gardens, as well as the beaches. I was amazed by one of the groundskeepers, who scampered up each palm using nothing more than a simple rope-rig and a bucketful of courage. He would hack and chop away the dead palm branches with a razor sharp machete, however he had a great aversion to being photographed. As I attempted to get a better shot he kept yelling: "No photo. No photo."
I said, "You don't think you're handsome enough my friend?"
His reply was an extended hand overtly rubbing his thumb and fingers together.
I said, "You're not that handsome, but I can say you're handy."
His compatriots laughed, which only annoyed him more so and thought better of sticking around for another shot.
Overall the weather was good—a little rain in October is to be expected, including hurricanes. If you can tip a little for extra service, please do so. Here are a few highlights
worth mentioning: If you want a gentlemen's cut and straight-razor shave—ask for Ignacio. If you want a special dish, go to the Indigo Restaurant for lunch and have the "Fish-of-the-Day." (More like fish that was just on the line—in the pan—and on my plate—30 minutes flat!) Take the "Sunset Cruise." (We were a party of ten and had the boat to ourselves). The crew was outgoing and accommodating.
Special shout out to GO Germaine, tennis pro, who kindly spent dinner with us and shared a few personal stories about his home country of Haiti. Also, it's always a pleasure to meet the Village Chief, GO Aziz Air Itto, as well as his protégé GO Boris, who seemed to have a lot of fun as emcee at the nightly show. Do not miss the outdoor Cirque du Soleil Show unless weather spoils the performance.
If you can speak French or Spanish or just try to it's a good thing. Funny how people will try to converse if you give a little extra effort to learn something new.
And best of all, it's a wonderful surprise to meet fellow GMs from other Club Med properties like Alaine and Dominique from Marrakech. Au revoir mes amis!

We upgraded to a Zen room - and it is well worth the extra if you are interested in a Adult Only zone. The Zen Pool is at your doorstep. Rooms are large and have modern comforts - bathroom amenities are missing hair conditioner - BYO, unless you want to pay greatly inflated price at Club Med Shop.
Beach is a 5 minute walk away - Club has been trying to keep the seaweed off the beach, as it comes in with every incoming tide.
Enjoying the variety of food - lots of choice. Separated Adult only eating area in the Buffet Samara which is appreciated. The other 2 restaurants do not have that separation.
Bar service is slow and indifferent. Limited beach service.
Resort is EXTREMELY child friendly - we are here because our Turks vacation at Club Med was cancelled.
Lots of activities to chose from.

We had yet again a perfect week at Tiara the 5T resort within the resort... Better food, better drinks and all round better service than our previous time in december 17. It seems they have improved in all areas. I can only but thank the managers who made this possible: Aziz & Marie. But of course it is always a team effort so a big thank you to everyone who added to our stay with a special very personal thank you to Castillo our waiter at Tiara.

This is a beautiful club med and there is much more to be seen within the 4T resort. We also recommend Indigo restaurant (Axelle the manager will look after you) and also the la cave private seating at the restaurants for a special romantic dinner.

Highly recommend this resort to visit as a family. The service is amazing. Joan at Hispaniola made every lunch special. What a wonderful place!

Chuldren's fun activities, many things to do for adults, beach activities - in short, fantastic!
