If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

I wouldn't trust the bottled water either.
They have no idea why these people keep dying
why do you assume its from the water

Has anyone been to Nickelodean All Inclusive in Punta Cana?
Any success having them provide kosher meals?

Bringing in vacuum packed raw meat into PUJ shouldn't be an issue?

Wasn't Sure whether to post here or https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=127461.0
Just came back from a quick getaway to the Eden Roc in Cap Cana

A few notes before getting to the Kosher food situation.
Resort is beautiful although definitely a little older than some other comparable hotels (Nizuc etc)
Booked with Amex Platinum Fine resorts, was $100 cheaper a day & included upgrade, guaranteed 4pm checkout & a $150 food/beverage credit
Hotel offers complimentary airport pickup/drop-off.
Each villa gets a golf cart to use for the duration of the stay as villa area is a few min away from restaurant/beach area
The resort is on a beautiful golf course & makes for a nice half hour drive with the golf cart

Kosher Food
The hotel has a full time Mashgiach on site making it the only hotel outside of Bahamas & Cancun (I think?) to offer freshly made/supervised kosher food.
All food is made in the Blue restaurant & when served there is on glass dishes with cutlery etc, you can also order to the beach & room & then it comes in to-go containers (thats all my pictures)
There are 3 options for the Kosher program
$40 a day pp kosher fee & you can order from the menu below.
$140 a day pp half board includes breakfast & dinner from same menu
$240 a day pp full board includes breakfast, lunch & dinner from same menu

Overall food was very good & way better then expected with some items (pizza especially) being top notch.
All breads & burger buns are baked fresh daily on site
