Where Club Med Miches sits and where we stop
Club Med Miches Playa Esmeralda sits on the far north-east coast, and guests routinely underestimate it: it is 90 to 150 minutes from PUJ, not the half-hour hop most Punta Cana packages describe. The car runs north past Macao and Uvero Alto, then turns west onto the coast road, where the last stretch is scenic, hilly and slow behind a truck. Club Med checks arrivals against its own guest list at the property entrance, so we send the driver and vehicle details with the booking and the barrier is a formality rather than a conversation. Guests on the Exclusive Collection side are dropped at the correct reception rather than the main one — tell us which package you are on. There is no taxi rank at this end of the island, so a car has to be arranged before you land.
