It is gorgeous and then you can stay wherever you want!! it is right next to the Melia Caribe Tropical. I've been talking to the wedding co ordinator who is amazing! They have meal plans from 35 -65 usd a person, plus alcohol. And, they dont charge extra for beach setup...just a tent for $125 i think. Jellyfish Restaurant | Bavaro, Punta Cana | Restaurant, Bar, Lounge, Weddings, Events I would def. check it out!

this place looks really neat! my worry is, you hear about all this stuff about going off ur resort and not eating anywhere else. makes me a little nervous about trying it. but it looks really well done.

I honestly wouldnt worry! I am able to get a coach bus to pick up all of my guests at the hotel and transport them to the restaurant and back for $5usd a person! There is no worry of taxi or any danger. I would honestly be more worried about food on the resorts. Buffets sit forever and they cook in such large quantities. At restaurants everything is made for you, so if fresher and tastier. If it's you style i would check out Debbies Dominican and Trip advisor. There are lots of reviews on it and they are 99% all positive! Best meal of the week for most people!!
I havent been to DR, but i've been to Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, Bahamas, etc. Even in Jamaica and Mex. where they say to not venture too far off, i was fine. Like anything, just travel in groups and avoid any conflict and you'll be fine. Happy planning!
