Staying inside the resort for a holiday is not really my thing. I would prefer to go out and discover the place but this is one holiday that I cannot complain because the company I work for is paying =)
We get to stay in a 5 star resort: The Paradisus Palma Real Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
In the resort there is a delectable and excellent array of restaurants offering a variety of haute cuisine from contemporary Asian fusion to Mediterranean a la carte. They also offer great evening entertainments. Yeah, from salsa dancing to circus extravanganza. There is even a casino.
One evening, I watched the circus and aerial acrobatics show which was quite cool. I also checked out the casino and placed my gratis $5 bet that I received during check-in on a poker game, and well, what do you expect, I lost. Because I am cheap, I am not going to bet another $ after that.
What else did I do? I laid down on a bali beach bed on the beach bar and watched the stars while chatting with colleagues. That was really nice. I also danced the night away in a discotheque until my feet were begging me to stop. That is what you get when wearing high heels the whole night. Oh yeah, I can remember there was booze everywhere as well, literally (free) booze everywhere.
I really had a great time! I guess you can stay, American-style luxurious kind of holiday =)
