Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana guests participate in the Walk for a Good Cause.

This was our first walk of this kind and everyone had a blast. There were about 20 guests and staff members that took part in this 2-kilometer walk which led us to a public school next to the hotel and then an eco-tour at the natural “La Laguna” reserve.

Nothing like taking in a view like this after a workout! Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana guests had a wonderful time touring La Laguna.

The walk was a great opportunity to fit in some cardio exercise while supporting the local Punta Cana community. Each person paid two dollars for entry in to La Laguna which went directly to the community and at the school, guests had the pleasure of providing breakfast to an entire classroom where students welcomed them with a song and many smiles!
