Club Med-Punta Cana
Higuey - La Alta, Dominican Republic
This Club Med on a 20-mile stretch of beach at the eastern
end tip of the Dominican Republic is now the latest of the collection to
offer the ATP Tour tennis program on its 10 hard courts (the program begins
March 10, 2002). The program was introduced after the Club underwent $35
million in improvements, which doubled its size to 74 acres and upgraded
the 543 rooms. Long known for its circus workshop, this particular Club also
appeals to families with its Petit, Mini, and Junior Club Meds for children
ages 2-13.

Punta Cana offers the three-day ATP Tour program as an optional
extra. It runs for three hours (with sections for beginner/intermediate and
advanced players) and covers the basic strokes, tactics, elements of the
modern game, a throws in a few trick shots for fun. If you opt not to sign
on for this option, then you can still get free group instruction (there
are one-hour sessions for beginners, intermediates, and advanced) though
the student:pro ratio there is likely to be higher than the 6:1 maximum maintained
in the ATP Tour program. Either way, there are also a variety of tennis socials
and tournaments in the afternoon.
