Sample 5-day ItineraryÂ
On arrival in Punta Cana, guests check in at the Golden Bear Lodge situated right next to the Espada golf course. It’s a sprawling luxurious complex with spacious condominiums that offer sea and course views. The ‘Golden Bear’ refers to the nickname of golfing legend, Jack Nicklaus, who designed the golf course. Â
There’s an on-site spa featuring a broad range of pampering services, and a variety of restaurants offer an excellent choice of Dominican or international cuisine. Settle in for an evening by the pool and soak up the sun.Â
Over the next three days, the itinerary takes on the structure of golf in the morning followed by an activity in the afternoon. Â
