Club Med invested US$36 million in a total renovation of its Punta Cana Club Med on the East Coast of the DR. The renovation came in time for the 50th anniversary of the French vacation club chain and for the 20th anniversary of the Punta Cana resort itself. Few visitors to the resort are aware that the Club Med Punta Cana was the hotel that put the Punta Cana-Bavaro beach hotel strip on traveler’s maps. DR1’s editorial director Dolores Vicioso and family were invited to take a look at what’s new at the resort. A full report on the hotel’s new facilities is featured at http://www.dr1.com/daily/clubmed2001.html (7 March 2001)
