I’d never been to the Dominican Republic before but had heard wonderful stories about the gorgeous beaches, kind people, and laid back vibes. The Hard Rock Punta Cana did not disappoint. Every single person you make eye contact with greets you warmly and if you happen to look the slightest bit lost they are immediately at your disposal. There might have been six-feet between us but their attentiveness never felt far away.
As we navigate travel in the age of Covid I found myself perplexed about how this vacation would look for me. Would I feel isolated, scared, and overwhelmed? Could I expect other guests to respect the Covid regulations? From the moment I got to Punta Cana every single guideline was adhered to. That level of dedication to keeping their guests healthy really set my mind at ease. Throughout my stay the property was constantly sanitized, appropriate physical distance was observed, and masks were worn without complaint.
Now that my Covid anxieties were soothed I could focus on my accommodations. I was lucky enough to be in the one-bedroom Rock suite with a personal assistant. The only personal assistant I had ever had was on my phone and I was uncomfortable asking her for directions. Before I could stress my PA(personal assistant) reached out with a friendly reminder for my dinner reservation. Throughout the trip he would handle various reservations, make recommendations, and remind me to stay hydrated. The room also featured a spa tub, balcony, and pool views.
