Club Med Punta Cana

They showed me the fitness palapa at night but the next day I found everyone ready at the yoga palapa so we did each class there. Didn’t really deal much with e team. In between classes layed on the beach relaxing! The split classes were hard yet I had so many people in both classes so loved it. Best numbers yet for me on vacation. Beach was gorgeous and resort is huge so be prepared to walk a lot.

Lovely staff and team to work with-It was more than I expected and walked away with what will be lifelong connections. What a wonderful platform to allow teaching vacations!

Yoga is in the beachside palapa. Entertainment team is great - promoted my classes in numerous ways and I walked around inviting guests to join, too. Great resort. Wonderful people work at this resort - every interaction was great!

Staff was pleasant and helpful. The more they got to know me during the week (participating in events and evening dancing) the more they warmed up to me. My teaching experience at Club Med PC was incredible. I've taught here many times before and the CM team are pros. Everyone has a smile on their face and is eager to help you with whatever you need. The food and facilities are great. The property is huge (expect alot of walking around, great way to get in your steps). The guests are predominantly French (direct flight from France) so expect to hear more French than Spanish. Great way to brush up (or learn) French. I've made so many new friends at these teaching vacations. Thank you Fitbodies for the opportunity to do what I love in paradise!

Wonderful resort and people! Couple notes: 1: - bring your own mini speaker (I was not given access to plug into the sound system; I had packed a mini speaker as a backup, and I am so glad I did!) 2: Prepare many classes - I am also happy I did this in advance so I could relax... you will get many repeat attendees from morning to afternoon on the same day... and many will come to every class for a whole week. I was happy I had done leg work to prepare for many classes, so I could relax a little more while there. 3: Yoga is temporarily in the fitness palapa, which is right in the main beach area (think volleyballs flying through the class from the court next door, loud dance music, etc. ) This isn't normally the case, but the yoga palapa was under construction while I was there, so the general fitness one was used (cardio classes, zumba, etc). 4: I had to push to get cleaner... it was not provided by default, and there seemed to be some miscommunications about having it available for every class. I ended up keeping a bottle after an early class... and then brining it with me each class, as I didn't like the risk of it not being there when I needed it. 5: Due to sharing the fitness palapa (not using the yoga palapa), the schedule is currently different than the usual - instead of 8 & 5 each day... it's actually 7:45am and 3pm each day. The clientele at Club Meds are very sporty.... so come prepared to teach many people who practice regularly. That said, the afternoon class was listed as "introduction to yoga"... while for the morning class they told me to do whatever I wanted.

The staff were amazing, this was by far the best experience I have had at a resort, from the warm welcome to the guided 1 on 1 tour to show me where I will be teaching. We even shared whats App information so I could contact the staff if I needed anything. I taught: Yoga, Group Fitness, Pilates in the Studio and Palapa. They have yoga mats, dumbbells, stability balls, bosu balls, kettlebells, steps/risers,...I used my phone to connect to their Bluetooth speaker. Hope this is helpful!

Club Med Punta Cana is fantastic! They take great care of their Yoga Teachers starting with the wonderful greeter at the arrivals desk at the airport. Once at the hotel they acknowledge that you are the Yoga Teacher, which is very welcoming! You may need to arrange a time to meet your contact, but they will find one for you that works for them. The Yoga Palapa is AMAZING! It is in a quiet area of the resort, and has spectacular views of the ocean. Classes are very well attended, with all age groups and abilities. Very few guests speak English, but that did not make any difference, they followed along and enjoyed the experience. The food at Club Med is great, and you can find abundant fruits and vegetables without issue. Only thing to note, you could have a long walk to the Palapa (20 minutes) if your room is in the back of the resort, so will need to plan for that. I will be back at this resort in the future!

The hotel staff is very friendly and accommodating. Romain, the E-team coordinator, even made my reservation one night for the Indigo restaurant where reservations must be made for day before starting when I'm teaching first class. All are so energetic and enthusiastic. The rooms are clean and housekeeping did a great job. The resort is fully staffed - many many waiters, waitresses all eager to meet your needs. This is my third trip to Club Med Punta Cana - one of my absolute favorite resorts. I taught two yoga classes a day - 7:45 -8:45 am and 5:15 - 6:15 pm...morning better attended than evening but both included experienced as well as beginner yogis. The yoga palapa is in a more quiet, private area of the resort. I absolutely love this resort - it appears to be a wonderful family resort although I've just travelled with friends or single family member. The staff for the children stay engaged with the kids in activities - not just watching them. The food is spectacular - many buffet items are prepared fresh in front of the guest. Absolutely the easiest resort to get to - Club Med transfer free, quick 5 -8 minute lovely drive from airport to resort. Good to fill out electronic form for arrival and departure from home and use printed in case can't bring up electronically on phone.

Everything was great. Yoga is in the yoga palapa. Denise answers question promptly - thank you!

This is wonderful! Teaching yoga outdoor on the plaza is great. Time spent with my family is so memorable and the students in my classes were wonderful. They promoted the yoga classes well - on the printed activities scheduled, board and smart TV. Plus I love introducing myself to guests and inviting them to class. As the teacher you are responsible for retrieving and properly replacing the yoga mats for class so factor in some time before or after to clean up after the guests.

Everyone was super helpful and I connected with land sports manager assistant after arriving late due to flight delay. Loved teaching in paradise. Classes were full of students and positive energy set to the sounds of the ocean. Class is under the palapa and I played music with my bluetooth and phone before and after class. Overall it was so amazing. Gorgeous. Can't wait to go again!

I love this program! Thank you! I taught at the yoga palapa all week except for a rainy day. The food is great and wonderful way to travel frequently!
