Dominican Republic Holidays – 4 Great Resorts to Visit
Dominican Republic holidays have a distinct mixture of the Latin party spirit and the laid back feel of the Caribbean lifestyle. Its tropical rainforest covers 19,000 square miles but it is the powdery white sandy beaches with swaying palm trees and the crystal clear blue seas that makes it a magnet for holiday makers from around the world.
In fact most Dominican Republic holidays are centered around its beach life with the extensive water sports on offer or, if you prefer, plenty of lazing around on the beach soaking up the sunshine and trying out the superb cuisine and exotic cocktails.
Here are 4 great resorts in the Dominican Republic which are ideal for all types of holiday, from family getaways to honeymooners hideaways.
Bavaro
Dominican Republic Holidays in Bavaro can only be for one thing – total relaxation. Situated near the resort of Punta Cana on the East coast, it is the ideal spot to let the stresses of a hectic life get washed away by warm blue seas lapping ashore on to the soft white sands. Most days can be spent lazing away on a hammock between two coconut palm trees or sat in the shade relaxing with a local cocktail from the beach bar. It is truly a touch of paradise.
The hotels can provide you with many things to occupy yourself such as a variety of water sports and most have a wide range of evening entertainment to help you to let off steam. However, if you prefer your Dominican Republic holidays to be more energetic with a partying atmosphere then Bavaro is perhaps a little too laid back for you.
Bahia Maimon
Another slice of paradise awaits you at the peaceful resort of Bahia Maimon. Just a few kilometers from Puerto Plata, Bahia Maimon is just as peaceful and relaxing as Bavaro but has a character all of its own with its beautiful sandy coves.
There are some particularly wonderful and luxurious hotel resorts offering great surroundings, beautiful pools and evening entertainment and if you do feel like burning off some excess energy, you could always take a cab to the entertainments and nightlife in the town of Puerto Plata.
Sosua
More adventurous people booking their Dominican Republic holidays might opt for Sosua. Situated on the North coast, it is a favorite for snorkelers and scuba divers because of the outstanding and colorful coral reefs which are home to the many exotic fish and sea creatures. Or you could enjoy a sailing trip or even an outing in a glass bottomed boat.
There are plenty of things to do on land too. In Sosua, your Dominican Republic Holidays could be spent browsing around the many beachside stalls or even go white water rafting in the nearby Jarabacoa Mountains. In the evenings there are plenty of lively discos for you to dance late into the night as well as a casino to round off a wonderful Caribbean day.
Of course, your Dominican Republic Holidays would not be the same without that perfect sun kissed beach of pristine white sand and crystal blue waters for those who just wish to relax and Sosua has just the perfect sheltered cove to let you escape from it all with a sun lounger, your favorite book and some sun cream.
Playa Dorada
Also on the North coast, Playa Dorada is one of the more popular resorts when looking for Dominican Republic holidays. Overlooked by the stunning Mount Isabela, Playa Dorada boasts a beautiful stretch of tropical beach of over 2 kilometers. It has everything you would expect to see on a picture postcard paradise – white fluffy sands, clear blue sea and plenty of coconut palm trees swaying gently in the tropical breeze.
The large variety of all inclusive hotels offer day and evening entertainment as well as many water sports by the sea. Also, there is a great golf course and even a go-kart track. For those who like to explore the shops, Puerto Plata is a short cab ride away. You could finish off your shopping trip by paying a visit to the many restaurants, bars and discos there.
These are just four of the many beautiful resorts this country has to offer. There are many more to choose from and all offer a variety of Caribbean pleasures and traditions. So, when choosing your Dominican Republic holidays you can feel confident that a picture postcard paradise of the Caribbean lifestyle is waiting for you.
Of course, finding a your ideal resort is hard enough but getting the best price for the holiday you have chosen is even more difficult. It is always the case that the person sitting next to you on the plane or the family in the next hotel room to you has paid hundreds less than you for the exact same holiday. Why? Because they were lucky or they knew where to look.
