The Dominican Republic is well known for its blue beaches, perfect weather, and fun times. There are tons of all-inclusive resorts for every level of budget, endless pools, regular activities, and access to some of the most beautiful, palm-studded beaches you'll ever see.
Here are some of the top reasons you should travel to the Dominican Republic for your next getaway:
Tons of Beaches
Of course, coming to an island, there will be beaches. But The Dominican Republic has almost 1,000 miles of them, and plenty of them have soft, cool white sand welcoming you to take it all in.
If you're looking for something a little more active, you can go surfing, snorkeling, or windsurfing. Or you can just relax with a beachside cocktail on one of the island's lovely stretches of sand.
All-Inclusive Resorts
Many people want to go to the islands of the Caribbean Sea to enjoy all-inclusive resorts, where everything is taken care of for you once you are checked-in. The Dominican Republic does all-inclusvies extremely well, and there are many resort options to choose from. You can choose a luxury experience or stay at a smaller, less expensive option. Many resorts can host your wedding or other celebration. And most have facilities like spas, golf courses, and fine dining options.
Convenience
It only takes a short flight to get to The Dominican Republic. And because of its popularity, many airlines have options for direct flights from most major airports. That means you won't need to book connecting flights and worry about missed connections and getting stuck at the airport.
Nightlife
You'll enjoy going out in the Dominican Republic, and it will be an experience you won't soon forget.
The city boasts many relaxing places, with pubs, dive bars, and exclusive nightclubs. Many resorts in the Dominican Republic will have nightly entertainment, or you can head into the city of Santo Domingo and get a real taste of the local culture!
Water Activities
The Dominican Republic is known for its nearly endless beaches, which make it the perfect place to experience all types of water adventures. From shallow water snorkeling to parasailing to scuba diving, there are no limits to the amount of water adventure you can expect on your trip.
Dominican Food
Dominican food is much like Creole foods, filled with meats, rice, and beans. You will find that many of the dishes take inspiration from African and Spanish cultures. You can also find many mouth-watering seafood options since it is an island with access to the freshest fish!
Rum
The Dominican Republic is known for its rum; you can undoubtedly drink your fair share while on vacation here. You can tour the famous Brugal Rum factory in Puerta Plata to learn how rum came to the island from Cuba and was perfected by 19th-century Dominicans. And don't forget if you stay at an all-inclusive resort, alcohol is included in your price. That means- UNLIMITED Rum for you.
Hiking
A few hours west of Puerto Plata is the famous natural wonder, the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua.
Not only can you look at water rushing down rocks and cliffs, but you can also cool off in natural pools, swim through canyons, and dry off on a hike. You can even slide down waterfalls while floating in the river.
Music Festivals
The Dominican Republic is somewhat of a paradise for music lovers. Whether you need some traditional Dominican music at the Bachata Tour and Festival or are a fan of R&B and Solfest is more your style. Whatever your musical desires, you can get your fill on vacation to the Dominican Republic.

Getting to know us and what we were looking for in a family summer vacation, preparing an awesome presentation with different options (and pricing), planning it all, making reservations (flights, cruise, ground transportation, hotels), taking advantage of deals, answering all my ridiculous questions, providing packing lists, sending important reminders, checking in on us and providing options for possible weather interferences, keeping in touch with flight information, etc.
We just showed up, packed and in full vacation mode, and had a wonderful time!!!!
