It is very close but not the main pool. There are waiters that come around and will get you a drink though.

I did not book our room through the airline. We booked it directly through the Chic web site. We did get a confirmation email.

Hi there. No hotels in DR are allowed to have full bottles in the dispensers anymore. You do get a bottle of rum u do get a stocked mini fridge with small cans of beer and soda. We had been there several years before our last visit and it was spectacular. I will not return the resort has gone downhill and not worth the money they want to go there.

28 is the perfect fit. Not a lot to do off the resort as it is kind of off the beaten path. You are not on Bavaro Beach when at this resort. You can still go into Punta Cana by cab to do all the things you mention. There are lots of scuba, snorkeling and booze cruises to sign up for. See if you can book them from the UK because it would cheaper for you than paying when you arrive. Lobby bar at night can really get hopping and there is a lively disco after the nightly shows as well and they are all pretty entertaining. If you're looking for entertainment off the resort, unfortunately you've chosen the wrong place. You should have booked a resort on Bavaro or closer to Punta Cana. Having said that. We really enjoyed this place. We had a Presidential Suite and Diamond Club. Service, food, staff, beach, entertainment are second to none. Both during the day and evening. You won't be disappointed. We are going back in January. Cheers!

It does not have canned beer throughout the resort. There will be cans of beer in your room fridge. We rented a cabana for a day and they gave us a cooler of canned beer to enjoy. It's draft beer at all the bars and it isn't bad. It's served in a large plastic cup that looks like a glass. Bring your own mug if you're a beach walker. That's the only time I used mine.
