Getting CREACTIVE with Club Med and Cirque du Soleil

Club Med Punta Cana officially launched CREACTIVE by Cirque du Soleil last week, a unique concept which gives guests a first-hand taste of the Cirque experience, from performance to costume creation and all points in between.

PAX was on location to learn all about the fun and excitement which will be offered to guests of this property.

It’s impossible to miss the main structure, or Acroplex, which towers above the palm trees littering the property. This is where guests are invited to take part in various aerial activities, including acrobatics, bungee jumping, tightrope walking and trapeze.

At one end, two trampolines allow guests to try their bouncing skills, while the middle of the space, known as the Big Top, offers opportunities for percussion or dance lessons.

In total, more than 25 activities are available for visitors at the property. In the morning, CREACTIVE is a playground for children, welcoming teenage guests in the afternoons and adults in the evenings.

Fifteen instructors, known as Circassians Gentiles, are on hand to assist guests. While many come from locations such as Las Vegas, France and Spain, there are also instructors from Chicoutimi, Montreal and Boisbriand in Canada. Easily identifiable by their white and yellow shirts, they are never short on advice while keeping a smile on their face, even in sweltering heat.

Whle they're always looking to push the apprentice acrobat to new heights, guests are never rushed to master a new skill and can just enjoy the experience.

Once a week, the Circassians Gentiles organize a demonstration which showcases all the activities the concept has to offer guests.

There is no doubt CREACTIVE will be extremely popular with guests of the village. And when the time comes to handle the 1,700 visitors which Club Med Punta Cana can accommodate, the Circassians Gentiles will certainly have to juggle!
