Punta Cana

The Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa

The Grand Palladium is on the East Coast of the Dominican Republic, surrounded by lush vegetation, tropical gardens, beaches, and turquoise seas. This 5-star, all-inclusive resort offers everything you could want from a getaway to the Caribbean: refreshing pools, delicious cuisines, a relaxing spa, evening entertainment, fun activities, and lots of sport options.

The resort features 22 bars for all tastes, 5 international restaurants with show-cooking experiences and themed self-service areas, and 8 à la carte restaurants serving the finest world cuisine: Mexican, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Asian, Indian, Argentine and a steakhouse.

Your room will be fully equipped with an electronic safe, minibar, iron, hair dryer, and either one king bed or two full beds. Enjoy an outdoor terrace with a sitting area, and a view of the resort’s picturesque grounds from your window.

Pickleball

There will be a combination of permanent pickleball courts and temporary pickleball courts at this resort! Our pickleball program includes 7.5+ hours of clinical instruction, as well as play-with-the-pros time and a pro exhibition. Open play is available at any time, and we also arrange skill-based meetup play so you have the option to play competitively with other guests.

Pros & Coaches

The daily clinics with our pros have a premium ratio of students-to-coaches so that you receive lots of individual feedback! A hand-picked, skilled team will lead these clinics, providing a wide variety of knowledge and experience. Our team is typically made up of professional players, retired players, and experienced instructors.
The coaches on this trip have not been announced yet, but you can check out our Guest Pros page to see who often make appearances on our getaways. Some of our pros may offer private lessons, depending on their personal preference.
