Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 – 4 Stars
The food was great, the price was right and the sun was always ready to greet us. Punta Cana is a wonderful place to visit and explore a Caribbean nation that shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti to the west.
I truly enjoyed the resort. It had plenty of restaurants to choose from and several activities right there on sight including bowling, a sports bar, water sports and of course all you can drink and eat.
What I didn’t like is the mountains of seaweed that was located on our beach. Now when we walked about a 1/2 mile down the beach it was beautiful and free of the seaweed. I also didn’t like that the resort allowed vendors to come on the property with the intent or ripping the guests off. I am too frugal for that to happen, but I saw other people that didn’t negotiate the prices for the souvenirs pay three to five times what I paid for mine. So my advice is to offer street vendors half of whatever the price that they are asking for as a starting point, then negotiate from there.
Other than that play it safe, only buy excursions from your designated hotel vendors (there is still a little room to negotiate as well) and have fun!
