Background about Club Med Punta Cana
Club Med is a unique brand of resort that has done "all inclusive" for decades. "Club Mediteranee" started in 1950 as a tent village on a Mediterranean beach. Since then, Club Med has world-scaled and upscaled and now has over 90 "villages" in 40 countries. But some basics have remained.
From the start, Club Med villages has had G.M'.s and G.O.'s: G.M.'s are the guests (Gentil membres, "gracious members") ; and G.O.'s are the staff (gentils organisateurs, "gracious organizers.") Both groups socialize, eat at the same restaurants, dance "crazy signs" together, etc.
This makes for a wonderfully friendly ambiance, especially in a family resort: kids love to see their Mini Club leader out-and-about.
