We’ve Booked a BRAND NEW Punta Cana Resort! 🌴 Lopesan Serenity Bay | Pre-Trip Vlog #1

We’ve booked a BRAND NEW resort in Punta Cana… and it’s only been open for around THREE MONTHS! 😳🌴 In less than two weeks we’re heading to Lopesan Serenity Bay Resort, Spa & Casino in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic — a brand-new adults-only, all-inclusive resort. The only slight problem? 😂 Because it’s so new, I’ve been trying to research EVERYTHING before we go… and there are still so many things I can’t find proper answers to! What’s actually in the minibar? 🍹 What’s on the 24-hour room service menu? Are the cabanas included or do they cost extra? What are the restaurants really like? Where can you get food late at night? Is there actually a swim-up bar? And will the much-talked-about Vela Beach Club actually be open when we arrive?! 👀 So I thought — why don’t I find out myself? We’re spending 7 nights at Lopesan Serenity Bay, arriving in early October 2026, and I’m taking you along for the whole thing — from the slightly chaotic preparation 😂 to travel day, our first impressions, room tour, restaurants, pools, beach, bars, food, drinks and all those little details you actually want to know before booking a holiday. And because this is Natural Simple 50 Something, this definitely won’t be a clipboard-and-scorecard hotel review. 🤣 There will be clothes, cocktails, food, sunshine, probably far too much luggage and an actual holiday somewhere amongst the filming. Speaking of which… 21 looks. 20kg luggage allowance. 7 nights in Punta Cana. Apparently some people have something called a capsule wardrobe. We won’t be doing that. 🤣👗✈️ 🌴 COMING UP IN THIS SERIES: Pre-trip planning & packing Travel Day ✈️ Our first look at Serenity Bay Full room tour Restaurants & food Pools & Lagoon Pool Club Beach & Vela Beach Club update Bars & nightlife 🍸 24-hour room service …and all the things I wish I’d known before booking!
