Good luck,

Default Punta Cana

Hello all,

Thank you for providing such great advice. I am looking to return to Punta Cana next week. I taught tennis at Club Med there back in 2001.

If anyone knows of good apartment leads please let me know. I will be staying at Natura Park for the frst two weeks while I look for a place to stay for the winter.

Thanks again for all the great insight!

George

hi George,
like i posted before, for that the "Pueblo Bavaro" Residence would be a great shot, but you have to be here to make arrangements.
that very big residence rents/sales appartments from small with 1 sleeping room to whole houses 3 sleeping rooms, 3 bathrooms, pool aso.
all sizes and all prize ranges.
they are normally all fully furnished including any equipment like kitchen aso.
like you will stay 2 weeks at the natura park you will be close to the residence and can make all arrabgements.
you will be surprised how the area changed and grew since 2001.
good luck
Mike

Thanks Mike,
I can't wait to get down there. If you know of anyone selling a used scooter please let me know. Will I have any problem bringing down a printer/fax machine?
Thanks,
George
