Michès Playa Esmeralda Dominican Republic

I spent a wonderful week at Club Med Miches Playa Esmeralda! My first day 10/4/25 was their re-opening date after renovations. After the 1hr45min ground transfer from the airport, we were greeted at a beautiful reception. Everyone was super hospitable. Max from the sports team was very warm and friendly. Uriel the yoga instructor is very kind- be sure to check out one of his classes. I liked the aerial yoga very much!

The rooms are solid. Resort is large so be prepared to walk (or call buggies). We were in the Explorer Cave area for 6 nights and then upgraded to Archipelago, an oceanfront suite for $480 for the last night.

Several great options for food. I liked the breakfast buffet’s variety of options, the frappes at the Coffeehouse, and the Dominican options at Coco Plum. Some lunches were beachside bbqs. These were awesome! They also served fresh coconuts. For dinner, we alternated between Coco Plum (reserve a day in advance) and the buffet. Was very impressed by quality and presentation of food- ie: foie gras, tuna breakdown with caviar, beef Wellington. Bars were also good- 2 main menus- one at the main bar and coco plum bar, and a different one at the zen adult only pool. Brugal extra añejo is the best rum!

Loved the activities offered. My fave is trapeze, so I went daily. The team (Cooper, Mailys, Candela, Joel) was amazing and eager to help me improve. Their performances on Sun, Thur, Fri evenings were fantastic! Also enjoyed pickleball, wingfoiling, and dance lessons.

La Cave is their premium wine/spirit/cigar spot. They host a poker game Wed and Fri with a $50 buy-in. My BF won the game so we had a nice credit to spend there- did a private wine tasting with a somm (loved!) and tried some a la carte spirits as well.
The beach is lovely. Rooms provide bug spray, so use liberally. Overall an amazing experience and hope to be back soon!

I had an incredible stay at this beautiful resort! The staff were so welcoming and immediately made us feel at home.

I loved relaxing at the Zen pool with its swim-up bar!

Definitely visit the Coco Plum Beach Lounge—Angel, the main bartender, makes amazing cocktails. I actually got engaged to my now-fiancée there, and the beach-front setting couldn’t have been more perfect.

Special shoutouts to:
• Luis – for taking the initiative to move our room closer, really appreciated it!
• Iara, Haby, Michelle, Fannie, and Anik – loved our dinners and post-show hangouts!
• Tona – thanks for making my birthday dinner at Coal and Copper memorable!
• Ricardo and Alex – great chats after the shows!
• Mailys – trapeze lessons were so fun (and tough!) and the circus shows were amazing.

Huge thanks to the GO team and Chef du Village Théo for making this trip unforgettable!

I've been to 4 Club Med locations and Miches has been the best. What an incredible experience! Upon arrival I was greeted with a smile from Iara at the front of the hotel, who also made the check in process smooth and fast. While she was checking me in, the entertainment team stopped by to introduce themselves. The staff definitely go out of their way to make sure you have a 5-Star experience and also make you feel like family. The entertainment was incredible and I can't say enough about the delicious food that was always beautifully presented. It did rain the last few days but there was always so much to do with the daily activities offered. I took advantage of the yoga, which was done in a covered palapa. Uri and Max from the sports teams were also amazing. I would come back in a heartbeat!

We had a great time in Club Med Miches!
Super fun atmosphere - chef Theo, mini chef Lorenzo, maxi chef Maximilian, Juan Carlos, Jonathan, and the whole GO team is amazing!

We spent a wonderful week in a little paradise. Greeting and welcoming was done by Iara who was truly exceptionally warm! What a way to start. Staff was so helpful & dedicated. We want to highlight our fitness instructor Marie who made us work hard & sweat! Dining staff Confesor & Carolina became the baby’s best friends & attended to his every needs. There were lots of smiles all over the place. Mention to the pool staff who had to put up with me swimming at 630 am every morning while they cleaned the pool . The 50m pool is a dream! We have been to many Club Med and find Miches our top destination! We highly recommend a stay in this beautiful & welcoming paradise!
