At Ocean El Faro, the allure of Punta Cana’s pristine shores is just the beginning. Beyond the sun-kissed beaches, 10 specialty restaurants, beautiful colonial-style architecture, and the iconic “faro” (lighthouse), which gives the resort its name, the 911-suite property packs a few special features that put a fun spin on your client’s all-inclusive vacation.
A Strike Above the Rest: Bowling for All Ages
Families can bond over strikes and spares at the resort’s on-site, air conditioned six-lane bowling alley – how’s that for a unique twist to your client’s tropical getaway?
“The bowling alley is a great value that we are offering all our guests, whether they’re in the family category or the adults-only category, in all Ocean hotels in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica,” says Ismael Bravo, Business Development Manager USA/Canada, Ocean by H10 Hotels.
“There is also a bar in the bowling alley, so the atmosphere is the same as though you were back in Canada bowling and drinking with your friends, except you are in the beautiful Caribbean.”
Pro tip: If your clients are planning to bowl, remind them to bring socks, as they’re required to rent the bowling shoes.
For an extra fee, guests can also enjoy some virtual reality games near the bowling alley.
Take a Chill Pill: Drifting Down the Lazy River
Besides splashing around in one of two swimming pools, guests can drift in bliss along the gentle current of the resort’s winding lazy river. As they float along, they’ll encounter playful jets spraying out refreshing water and charming waterfalls to glide through.
“The great thing about the lazy river is that we have a bar right along it, so you can stop along the way and get a drink, and then you can go floating around drinking your favourite drink, a Margarita or a beer or whatever you want,” Bravo says.
Pro tip: Advise your clients to pack their own floaties and they’ll thank you for not having to wait in line to get one.
And the best part is that it’s all free – the lazy river, bowling alley, and a ton of other recreational amenities are included as part of an all-inclusive package with Air Canada Vacations.
Special Spaces for Kids and Teens
At Ocean El Faro, the fun leaves no one behind, offering specially designed programs and spaces for kids and teens with activities tailored just for them. The family area is complete with a water park with a splash pad, big water buckets, and slides.
For the younger adventurers, the Daisy Mini Club caters to children aged 4 to 12 years, where they have a dedicated water playground. Teens aren’t left out of the equation, either. The Teen Club, welcoming ages 13 to 17, keeps the vibe cool and relaxed with an entertainment program and teen club room loaded with video games.
Endless Activities, Come Rain or Shine
Rain or shine, Ocean El Faro is equipped to handle it all. The resort’s “Blue Team” helps to keep the fun going with a packed schedule of daytime and nighttime activities including foam parties and aerobics classes, to live shows and music performances.
The resort also features a vast selection of courts and sports areas where your clients can serve, swing, and slam dunk their way to an action-packed vacation:
- 8 tennis courts
- A multi-purpose court for activities like basketball and soccer
- A softball field
- A seven-hole miniature golf course
- A beach volleyball and soccer court
“For clients who want to do a different activity every day, they have the option to do that at Ocean El Faro,” Bravo says.
