Apparently the hotel is closed until December 1, and we are scheduled to be there in late November. We have never been to Punta Cana and are taking two children (8 and 6) with us. The younger child has high functioning autism and we want to ensure his safety and both boy's enjoyment. We are primarily concerned with the quality of the children's care programs, cleanliness and property safety. We have been offered options ranging from the Bahia Principe Punta Cana at the same rate to the Melia Caribe Tropical for $500 more. We have also had an array of options in the middle presented. We do not require the fanciest places, but would like cleanliness, a little extra room and friendly staff. Because of the kids we are not likely to end up in elegant dining options, although we would like to get a sitter one night. We feel like this is an eleventh hour choice to make, so we seek opinions from those who might have visited the area and can look at it from the eyes of a family just looking to relax and have fun together. We are able to spend the extra money if it is worth it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
