Club Med Punta Cana- The Ramp -front

The Ramp has several distinct spaces.

  • a lounge-type area is under and behind what you see above.
  • the slope for roller-blading and skateboarding can be used only with supervision by a GO*.
  • the stairs on the right are a good place to watch the sports courts.
  • at the top of The Ramp deck are seats, and a giant hammock (that's actually a cut-out section of the floor, hung with trapeze netting.)
  • above it all, the sail-like canopy can double as a movie screen.

*What's a GO? A defining feature of Club Med resorts are the "Gracious Organizers": the helpful staff who not only run programs, but also socialize with guests. The GO's who work with teens are energetic and personable.
