DOMINICAN REPUBLIC SPECIALIST

The Caribbean has nothing short of a siren call to American travelers. It’s conveniently located to the United States, has a well-developed tourism industry, and is the very picture of paradise. For the friendliest introduction to the Caribbean seas, head to the Dominican Republic. Both Punta Cana and the Bavaro are packed with resorts. Together they form the Coconut Coast, a sparkling stretch of stunning white sand beaches, gently swaying palm trees, and glittering tropical waters.There are plenty of adults-only properties for romantic getaways sans kids, but you’ll find just as much of the Dominican Republic is welcoming to families. All-inclusive resorts can provide special entertainment for kids of all ages, while exciting excursions like snorkeling along a coral reef or getting your heart pumping on a zip-line can bring the whole family together.All that dramatic scenery also comes with a dramatic pace of life. You could certainly while away your afternoons lounging on a world-class beach with a fruity drink in hand. Between internationally renowned golf courses and pulsing Latin dance clubs, however, you won’t have any trouble filling every minute of the day with activity.The chameleon of the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic is the perfect canvas for creating your ideal tropical vacation.
