The sailing

You can practice sailing and windsurfing at Punta Cana. Since it is very windy, it is the right place to practice these activities. But there is a lot of waves so it isn’t really easy for beginners.

The kayak

At Punta Cana, you have the opportunity to practice the kayak in the sea. The kayak has room for two people but you can use it alone. I have tried once but it was too windy and I ended into the water after only 10 meters. If you try the kayak, pay attention to the sunburn because with the wind, you may not feel directly that the sun is really hot there.

The roller

The resort has all the required equipments to practice the roller (head protective device, hand protection, roller). There is a ramp dedicated to this sport. There are also some GO available to perform the resort circuit with you. Few times a day, you will cross them as a small group in the resort (they signal themselves by whistling).

The tennis

The tennis is one of the main sports activities at Punta Cana. It is located next to the archery. There are 14 courts (8 hard and 6 soft). You can play all over the day since some of the courts have some lights (the night comes at 6 PM at Punta Cana).

One hour lessons are given every day (in the morning and in the afternoon). You have three levels : beginner, intermediate and advanced.

The GO team has between 3 and 4 members depending on the season. In December 2007, there was Gaelle (the manager, french), Raymond (from Haïti, very friendly) and Ashley (from Chicago, a bit shy at the beginning but very friendly when you start to know her).

Tournaments are organized at 4:45 PM almost every day. Depending on the day, you have : double, mixed double, surprise double, single and davis cup. The surprise double is very funny because you play each game with a different player. It allows to level the games and to meet new players.

For the sports addicts, the tennis is an inescapable place in the resort. There is usually very good players. Finally, the only problem is the rain because when it rains, the activity closes for few hours (the time required for the courts to dry). The good thing is that it doesn’t rain every day.

The archery

The archery is located behind the tennis. There is two sites, one for the children and one for the adults. Since the activity is far from the resort center, there is usually only few people. It is excellent to practice archery while the weather is too hot to perform anything else. It is quite simple for a beginner to learn archery basics quickly. The Club has the right level of equipment to practice this activity safely.
