Whether you’re on holiday in the Dominican Republic to relax and unwind on the beach, play golf or for a romantic getaway, lowcostholidays.com’s insider tips will help you get the most out of your holiday.
The beach is undoubtedly the number one reason people visit the Dominican Republic. There are a number of great beaches in the area including Cap Cana, Punt Cana, Cabeza de Toror and Bavaro. It is one of the most beautiful areas of the island with sandy white beaches lined with coconut trees and crystal clear water.
The hottest time of the year is August, with most tourists visiting June – September. If you fancy a quieter time, there is still plenty of sun and fun to be had out of the main holiday season, in late April and late September. The weather forecast in the Dominican Republic is invariably sunny, perhaps with cloud and the odd 5-minute shower, all year round!
Most hotels in Punta Cana will have vendors selling their arts and crafts to tourists, for unique souvenirs to take home. Outside of hotels, there are a few open-air shopping plazas with small shops and boutiques selling jewelry, rum, beach clothes and cigars. Don’t forget to haggle your way to a good price!
Here are some tips for when you’re on holiday in Punta Cana.
