Secret Tides Questions

I’ll be going to Punta Cana secrets in July for the first time. I have a few questions for anyone that’s already been.

1. the resort seems really big. Is the walk a lot from place to place? Like from your room to the pool or to the beach? I think I’ve seen some golf carts in some posts. Are those readily available?

2. what is the dress code for restaurants? do men have to wear long pants or can we wear nice shorts?

3. is there an ice cream shop?

Thanks if anyone could answer any of these questions. Feel free to add anything else that you might think is helpful.
