Melia Caribe Punta Cana - Summary and Conclusions
Cocotal Course Summary
Now this place is not a `bog standard` resort course. If you have a choice between the Barcelo up the road and this course/resort, and golf is the deciding factor, go for this course. I`ve played it a few times and as a former `4` handicapper [now alot worse through lack of playing!] I thoroughly enjoyed it.! The course is built on what used to be a coconut plantation.
The utilization of four sets of tees provides low-handicapped golfers with a course of great challenge, while beginners and intermediate players can continually improve their game in a player-friendly environment.
Distance to the course The course is over the road from the resort although with fairly long driveways, not everyone would want to walk. That said, I often did, and walked back! If you want the shuttle bus it is quite reliable from the hotel. The distance is about that of a par 5. The course set up The course is set up as 3 sets of nine holes. These are Hibiscus, Bougainvillea,and Benjamina. I have attached the 3 cards.
What is included in your package
Melia Golf Academy There is a golf academy at which you can book lessons. The Academy offers:
If golf is a key factor in your choice of holiday it obviously depends what you are comparing. If you are comparing between the Sol Melia Tropical Caribe and the Barcelo in Punta Cana, I would have no hesitation in going for the Sol Melia Tropical Caribe. It is by far the most superior course.
Perhaps if you are learning the game you may choose the Barcelo, but not otherwise. Indeed 9 holes of that course will be closed until the end of 2009. If you are comparing Casa de Campo [in La Romana] and the Sol Melia Tropical Caribe and golf is the deciding factor [and money is not key!], you ought to go for Casa de Campo. Ther you will find 3 fantastic courses in Teeth of the Dog Dye Fore and The Links. Casa de Campo is not for beginners. Again if you have plenty of cash and want real quality, head south to Cap Cana which features golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus.
