Punta Cana 2023 - Visit to the Los Corales Restaurant and Shopping Area

[@CarlosElio82]

I'm writing this note on Jan 25, 2024. We leave for a week in Melia Caribe in two days. We have been there before and to other resorts in Punta Cana. We regret not having watched these videos in our previous trips, but we are glad knowing that this trip would be much better. An experience 360-degree, the convenience of the hotel and the well-rehearsed care of the guests, plus the authenticity of the locals and the town. You do a great job, Andre. Muchas gracias.

CITRUS IS MY FAVORITE

[@PuntaCanaTravelVideos]

Agreed - wonderful restaurant!

[@fernandovalenzuelaacuna6195]

Nice video man, I'm gonna visit Punta Cana this May and I really wanna try the lobster, any place recommendation? Hopefully not expensive.

[@PuntaCanaTravelVideos]

Jelly Fish comes to mind - but I assume it will be a premium item on their menu

[@millien5386]

Thanks for sharing. I have been to Punta Cana 6 times and only ventured 2 times outside of the resort. This is great information as i am thinking of staying in a non all inclusive next time. Can you tell me which you would recommend?

[@PuntaCanaTravelVideos]

Turquesa and Stanza Mare have some nice units and are located near Los Corales

ANDRE DO A VIDEO OF THE NEW SPORTS BAR AND NIGHT CLUB IN CORTECITO BY PRESIDENTIAL SUITES

[@PuntaCanaTravelVideos]

I plan on doing that upon my return in January 😀

[@letsdolife]

@@PuntaCanaTravelVideos great, see you then

[@user-mq5zt5zq1u]

I understand there are restaurants and bars and grocery stores around.BUT most people go to all inclusive where you have 10 different choices of food types and restaurants at the resort. WHY go out and pay for food or drink when everything you need is at your resort?

[@PuntaCanaTravelVideos]

Some visitors stay for extended periods of time - 4-8 weeks and enjoy more variety - and many go for the live entertainment experiences

[@catherinegauthier]

What would you recommend as a good Italian restaurant in Los Coralas

[@PuntaCanaTravelVideos]

Dolce is my favourite - for Diner and a show the Los Corales location - for a more upscale dinner experience, their location down the road at the Palma Real mall

[@brewjitsu429]

Do you consider it safe to walk in those areas after dark, well before midnight?

[@PuntaCanaTravelVideos]

Yes - even during a blackout 😅kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z164lIaqnJaHitUsi=NaF7bU8jSZZj-V3Q

@@PuntaCanaTravelVideos thank you. We're heading there next week and your videos are super helpful. I've been marking these places on google maps.

How far are these restaurants and stores from the Barcelo

[@PuntaCanaTravelVideos]

Barcelo is a long resort - depending on which end you are, 30-40 minutes

[@henriettamcmillan4768]

How far this from Melia?

[@lukemoyer08]

staying at the cortecito inn whats a good thing i can do to make the trip better? ALready bringing wifi extenders for work... is there a place I can get wifi and work

[@PuntaCanaTravelVideos]

Unfortunately I’ve never stayed at that specific resort so can’t offer any valid opinion. Lots of bars and restaurants have free wifi so make sure to ask your server for access if a password is required.

[@wharlinfernandez]

How do the locals fell about all the haitians?

[@PuntaCanaTravelVideos]

That’s a complicated question if for no other reason the geopolitics at play in both the DR and Haiti. From personal observation, I’ve never encountered or witnessed any tension when in public between Dominicans and Haitians in Punta Cana. Both groups have always been friendly to me and each other when in my presence.

[@marinada21]

What do you think, is it safe to walk alone (the same route as yours) for women? You said in video what it pretty safe? But you're a man and walk like a couple. How about white blonde thin woman who on vacation in PC alone? 🙂 (I heard some stories about people get robbed on the street). I'll appreciate ypur ansver ☺

[@PuntaCanaTravelVideos]

During daylight hours, given the amount of people present, I would feel a similar level of safety as a typical city in North America. Having said that, it’s important to be aware of your surroundings at all times. But in terms of this particular street, I was more concerned by vehicular traffic and narrow sidewalks than any form of physical assault. I’m not aware of any problems with respect to assaults on female tourists in the area during daylight hours.

[@marinada21]

@@PuntaCanaTravelVideos Thanks for your answer 👍

[@bluerays1]

Did you travel there? I'm going next month be interested in how you found it

[@PuntaCanaTravelVideos]

@@bluerays1 we had friends staying at a nearby condo and discovered the area when visiting them

[@AceAndolini]

I stayed in one the places in the alley you walked down. I love this area and Don Pio has great food. Im goin back next month. But as far as safety it seems fine. I don’t move around in fear Im always aware and alert 🚨 always trust your gut. If something feels sketchy act accordingly.

[@classyvintagetravels6744]

Are Turk Turks safe and do they work like a cab?

[@PuntaCanaTravelVideos]

Nope - the Dominican Republic has the worst road fatality rate in the world, with most deaths being motorcycle 🏍️ related - best to stick to cabs

[@smexTTS]

this place looks like a run down neighborhood not too much to be desired.

[@PuntaCanaTravelVideos]

Not doubt the municipal government needs to increase investment in the local infrastructure
