Michès Playa Esmeralda Dominican Republic

Noé and Séverine are the best and you should send your teens to club med. the food is absolutely delicious and there are always events. The excursions are varied and each one is cool. U will not waste any time going to a club med, especially this one. Actually, we gotta give these two staff a raise

It was a really fun and memorable experience. The atmosphere was super cool, and everything was well organized. Noé and Séverine from the Teens Club were especially kind and welcoming — they were always smiling, helpful, and made everyone feel included. They added a great energy to the whole experience, which made it even more enjoyable.

After landing at Punta Cana airport there was a long delay of almost 2 hours to get through Customs due the large number of tourists arriving on Thursday afternoon. Then there was another half an hour wait for my baggage to come down the carousel. After another 10 minute wait at the Club Med arrival desk, I was whisked off to my transport for the 90 minute drive to Club Med Miches.
Candice greeted me warmly and gave me my room key. Off I went to my room at about 4:30pm. Only to discover the key did not work. Went back to Front Desk for a new key and downloaded the WhatsApp contact for Miches. Back at the room, the new key did not work. Contacted FD and was told to stay and wait for Maintenance to come and fix the lock as it was not a key issue. A few minutes later, Maintenance arrived with a new key but it did not work, even after attempting to fix the physical lock. However, his master key could open the door and he let me in. I was told to wait while he went back to Maintenance to see if there was anything he could do and that I might have to change rooms. He came back but could not fix the lock and to contact FD to change rooms. So, at 5:30 I contacted FD that I need to change rooms and was informed that it would take at least 2 hours to clean and prepare the new room.
I then decided to have a shower while waiting for my new room. Unfortunately, there was no; shower gel, shampoo, conditioner or moisturizer in the room. Contacted FD to have these items delivered. Had my shower and waited for my new room Around 8:00pm contacted FD and found out new room is not ready and that I should go for dinner while waiting. It wasn't until 8:52pm that I was informed the room was ready.
Overall the rooms are very nice and spacious. A handheld spray head in the shower would be nice to have in addition to the waterfall shower head. Would also like cushions on the chairs in the room.
The variety and quality of the food was excellent at the buffet restaurant and a la carte restaurants.
Rough start but my stay improved greatly after that thanks to Juan Carlos and Jonathan, the tennis GO's who I met on my last visit in May.
There was no other snags during the rest of my stay except with the reservation system for Coco Plum (a la carte restaurant). Apparently the system allows it to be overbooked so if you need to add more seats to your reservation, it is a problem and you will get told no. This is not acceptable and should you book for Coco Plum, I would suggest that you book for more guests then needed in case you make new friends or have more people wanting to join.
When making reservations at both Coco Plum and Coal & Copper you are asked if there are any dietary restrictions but after getting seated, neither restaurant asked about who had the dietary restriction or allergy.
As usual, it's the GO's that make every Club Med vacation special and this a list of some them:
-Theo and Acir, CDV's always greeted me with a smile and asked about my day
-Juan Carlos, Jonathan and Andrea of the tennis team are amazing!
-Michelle from traffic who went out of her way to arrange my transportation to CM Punta Cana for the day and a joy to be aroung
-Jennifer from Meetings & Events for listening to my rants
-Candice, Enock, Jhony, Alejandro, Fannie, Haby and Soledad of Welcome & Services
-Richardo HSE
-Jazin and Simon Restaurant Supervisor
-Ahmet and Adonys Bartenders
-Tona Coal & Copper Manager
-Horacio Cook who always had a smile and gave me some of the hottest sauces ever
-Ynerico and Jonah of Watersports
-Cooper of Circus
-Guy-Harry of Mini Club
-Jhony of Archery and Jhony of the Juice Bar
-The infirmary team with Dr. Reyna and Rosario. Unfortunately, the infirmary is contracted out and will charge you for some services.
