Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Welcome to Punta Cana
A paradise of palms for adults, children and teens.

Imagine a yard sprawling out 75 acres from your back door. Instead of neighbors, there are palm trees. Rather than a fence, the Caribbean Sea marks the end of your land. And where a jungle gym suffices in the real world, an entire staff of childcare professionals gives playtime here something your children will never forget.

Of course, there are countless pleasures for adults as well, including a lagoonstyle pool surrounded by lounge chairs and thatched-roof bars where your favorite drinks are mixed and a helpful staff ready to teach you sports that will make you a hero in your children’s eyes.

Best of all, you won’t spend a second of your vacation cleaning, cooking or coordinating any of it. So you’re free to be excited, be intrigued and be a family for every moment you’re here.

Children's Health
For children in Baby Club MedTM and Petit Club MedTM, parents are strongly advised to obtain a “ certificate of health” for their child prior to departure. This can simply be a letter issued by your doctor stating that your child is in good health. It should be issued no more than 48 hours before arrival at the village. Please note that a “ certificate of health” is recommended for our villages in France. Children will only be accepted in the Children’s Clubs if they are considered to be in good health and without any signs of a contagious cold or fever. Club Med reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to request the health certificate and refuse acceptance of any child into the Children’s Club. Please check that your child’s vaccinations are up to date prior to departure. A doctor is available at some of our Baby Club Med villages. The role of such a doctor is limited to offering assistance, providing advice and administering urgent first aid. It does not, under any circumstances, for legal and ethical reasons, substitute the role of the local doctor with regard to prescriptions. Only the parents/guardians are allowed to administer medication to their child. Under no circumstances is the Children’s Club staff authorized to administer medication. In the event of a doctor’s visit, all medical or hospital costs will be charged to the parents/guardians.

Children's Meals
Club Med’s extensive buffets offer plenty of choices for the little ones – from hamburgers, hot dogs and pizza to international cuisine for the more adventurous eaters. Some villages with Children’s Clubs have separate restaurants just for children. Sandpiper - Florida: Baby Club Med restaurant serves lunch. Restaurant hours vary depending upon village location. In villages with Mini Club MedTM programs, supervised early meals are available in a special section of the main restaurant. A special section in the main dining room is reserved for Junior Club Med. Baby Club Med restaurants feature individual dining rooms with personal chefs who prepare fresh baby food daily from natural ingredients for lunch and dinner (Sandpiper only). Additionally, 24-hour convenience rooms are equipped with sterilizers, blenders and bottle warmers.

How to Enroll
When making your reservation, enroll your child in the appropriate Children’s Club. Space in the Baby Club Med™ and Petit Club Med™ Children’s Clubs are limited in order to adhere to the safety regulations and standards of child care structures and provide the outmost of care and enjoyment for your child. There will be no exceptions made to the number of spaces available. The age groups of each club have been carefully considered for maximum safety and compatibility and will therefore be strictly enforced. Once at the Club Med village, you should register your child with the G.O. (Gracious Organizer) responsible for the particular Children’s Club. Advise the G.O. if your child requires any special attention (nutrition, sleep patterns, favorite toy, etc.). Such information is invaluable for the Children’s Club G.O.s as it allows them to help children feel safe and comfortable around their new friends and environment. With your cooperation and the overall preventative health and hygiene measures adopted by Club Med, your children will be able to enjoy a quality, healthy environment full of fun and games during their vacation at any Club Med village with Children’s Clubs around the world. Please note: A supplemental fee per day per child for Baby Club Med and Petit Club Med is paid at the time of booking. This supplement is non-refundable and guarantees a spot for your child in the Children’s Club. Children’s Club available only if booked for duration of stay.

Children with Special Needs
Please inquire at time of booking should your child require special needs; we will determine whether we can accommodate these needs.

Children in the Care of the Children's Clubs
A parent/guardian must complete and sign the registration forms and attendance register for their child, stating precisely the time they have signed their child in and the time they will pick up their child. When children from 4 to 7 years old have been signed into Mini Club MedTM, the G.O. will give each child a bracelet, clearly indicating that they are part of the Mini Club Med. Important: Children who are NOT in the care of the Children’s Clubs or who are staying at villages without Children’s Clubs facilities are the full responsibility of their parents/guardians. While in the Children’s Club, your child will be in the good hands of specially trained G.O.s who have all met safety requirements and training standards. A generous G.O.-to-child ratio is maintained within each club.
