Welcome to the forum =) It's great to have you join us. Any questions, just ask! Punta Cana is an amazing location, I would go with Dreams or the Gran Bahia Principe, I was at Dreams last year and it is my all time favourite resort... and am headed to the Gran Bahia Principe this April. The Melia is very nice, it is just super big, which I didnt prefer... took forever to walk anywhere!
