Michès Playa Esmeralda Dominican Republic

I recently visited club med in Miches. They r was a fabulous experience. The resort is beautiful, the staff attentive, the Chef de village and his team made the experience upbeat, fun and entertaining. The food was good, the beach beautiful, the rooms large and clean and there were many activities including various fitness related choices. All in all a great experience. The only negative comment is that there is no designated smoking location which meant we had to deal with people smoking anywhere they pleased.

Club Med Miches is a wonderful place for a family vacation ! The activities for a family are endless, for all ages. We have three young children, 5, 5 and 2 and we have only incredible things to say about the amazing family and kids club staff at Miches.

Mini Club Staff, Carm-Suze, Elsa, Betchina, Marie & Lamionitte truly made our 5 year-olds have an incredible week. There were times we came to pick them up to spend time together at the beach and they wanted to stay at the Mini-Club! The activities, the shows, everything they do is incredible. I also have too many amazing things to say about the staff at the Petit Club. Coco, Junie, Mymy, Aminata, Lamonte , and I may be forgetting some names, just the absolute best staff ever. So kind and warm and loving for our small children. Our 2 year old was always so happy to be with them. Thank you Mini club and Petit Club team for your love and kindness!

The food is very good at the resort, the beach is beautiful. It is a much smaller resort but it was perfect for us. We did have some issues with housekeeping and reception staff that I don't feel as though they were as accommodating about, but overall it was really a special week in a special place. The family staff helped us to make incredible memories. A special place for a family trip.

We had a lovely visit here overall. The staff were very helpful and considerate, doing their best to make sure that we were cared for. Sometimes there was a little confusion with language differences but a little patience on both sides helped a lot.

We enjoyed the sunset cruise and trying the wingfoil class though the waves made the latter a little tricky.

Another neat experience was the trapeze. I have very little experience with acrobatics but it looked fun. We were high in the air prior to jumping off the platform and my fear of heights kicked in but once I was flying through the air, I had little time to think about it. I was not able to fully complete the trick we were taught in the class the first day I tried. But thanks to the help in encouragement from my husband and the trapeze team including Joel, Mailys, Candela, Nacho, and Cooper I was able to complete that trick the next three times when I went back a few days later. I especially have to thank Candela for convincing me that I could complete a back flip on the tail end of my final trick!

We took a multi-generational family trip to Miches over Christmas break. What an amazing time! As a family, we've been to several Club Meds. Miches is by far the nicest of the clubs in every way.

The overall size and layout feels both spacious and proximate at the same time - nothing is too far away, which makes it easy to get around, even for my elder in-laws. Our accommodations and the other club buildings were really beautifully designed and inviting. We particularly loved eating at the outdoor patio at Coco Plum by the beach. The food in Miches is really delicious. While there may be slightly fewer options available at meals than at other clubs that we've been to, the options that we were offered were definitely a step up in quality (and the chefs did a really lovely job accommodating our gluten-free/celiac family members). We also loved the coffee shop by the pool, which was a great addition and perfect for a quick snack at any time.

Everyone who we encountered - from the folks who fetched us from the airport to the photographers who captured our entire vacation - was truly friendly and helpful. A few shout outs to those who we found particularly terrific and who made our vacation extra special: Maxamiliano (who we had actually met a few years ago in Cancun!), Jonathan, Annabelle, and Lorenzo - extraordinary GOs who we will miss and hope to see again; Amhett, Shirley and Arthur - the bartenders who made us exceptional concoctions and always greeted us with a smile; Beethoven (who did our family portraits), Rubenstein, Michel, and Pierre - the photo team who captured every moment of our fabulous vacation on film; and finally Anik and Elisabeth at the front desk, each of whom helped us in a myriad of ways during our stay. We are grateful for a fabulous team who went above and beyond to make our vacation memorable.

My family and I stayed at Miches for 1 week and we loved it. Compared to other club meds this one felt very exclusive and intimate. You really feel like you become family here because you get to know the staff and other guests well. It never felt crowded here even during New Year’s celebrations. If you want a beautiful beach to explore, some activities to do while you are on vacation and great food then Miches will be for you.
My 7 year old can be overwhelmed by some kids clubs if they are too hectic but she really enjoyed going to this one. Make sure to take part in the Amazing Family activities if you have kids.
The yoga treehouse is absolutely beautiful. Make sure you attend a Yoga class or two (or even 7 because they have so many different ones every day).
The food is served buffet style with plated dishes at the main restaurant and then the beach side restaurant has some Al a carte options if you want to just sit and enjoy the view.

Bring bug spray and sunscreen.

The views here are absolutely incredible. You feel like you’re isolated in the most gorgeous jungle beach location. This would be an excellent honeymoon spot.

Staff I would like to thank for making our stay memorable:

Leo with Amazing Family. He was such a fun guy and very good with the family activities.

Elsa, Hilda and Lorane at the mini club. They made our 7 year old feel very special and comfortable.

Uri the resident yoga instructor. So very kind and an excellent yoga teacher. Make sure you try Aerial Yoga!

Fransisco and Vladimir at Coco Plum bar. Both serving drinks and coffee every day with big smiles.

Keilan in dining. She took care of us almost every day and made sure our glasses were always full.

Johnny at Archery was so kind in helping us figure out how to properly work a bow and arrow.

When we had a problem with our room on the last night, Theo the village Chief was quick to resolve our issue.

I really don’t have any complaints about the staff here. They are all so good natured and want to make each guest very happy. The resort is gorgeous and the weather was so beautiful. Not too hot and not too cold. Everything you need is within a minute walk. Be prepared for the occasional rain every once in a while and you will have an excellent time
