We decided on Punta Cana this year mostly due to the opinion of our Travel agent, last year we went to Aruba and loved it! My questions at this point are;

1. Do we make reservations for dinner online before we leave or once we get there

2. What water sports are included since it is an all inclusive resort

3. I was in Brazil in May and had my first caprinha there, but what are some other good drinks to order (that are easier to say...lol)

4. What does the resort have to offer in the pm..?

5. How long is the ride from the a/p to the resort and what is the resorts first impression...???

muchas muchas gracias if you respond....

hi falola97,

you will have a great time!

1. when you get there, you can email melia for dinner reservations for the first night for a specific restaurant. If in RS no need to make reservations @ the Gabi restaurant, which i thought was the best, but exclusive to RS.

2. paddle boats, catamarans, snorkeling,kayaking.

3. caprihnas,(dont know how to spell it) was my favorite!! thats all i drank!

4. there are about 4 lounges with music everynight something differant, the lobby bar we enjoyed alot, the had a live salsa/merenge band all night and thats where they have there nightly evening shows as well.

5. its about 20 minutes from the airport. my first impression, have you ever seen that movie waiting to exhale? well thats what i did!! i exhaled!! i was in paradise!! have a fabulous time!!
