Dominican Republic

La RomanaThe Dominican Republic, located on the western part of Hispaniola alongside Haiti, is the most popular Caribbean vacation spot. The Dominican Republic is a place that has everything: a mountainous interior, a tropical rain forest, a mangrove swamp, a cultivated savanna, a wide desert, and everything in between.

Santo Domingo, the capital city, is located on the southern coast and offers the best urban experience; visitors should definitely make time to visit this intriguing place. Bavaro and Punta Cana, two resort towns in the country’s southeast, feature miles upon miles of unspoiled shoreline, making them among the most attractive in the country. Playa Dorada is located next to Puerto Plata, a historic city worth exploring for its wealth of Victorian architecture, and is also close to Cabarete, the world capital of windsurfing and kitesurfing. Amber Cove is a Carnival Corporation exclusive cruise port located to the west of Puerto Plata. La Romana, located to the east of San Pedro, is a low-key tourist destination with an attractive riverfront location, a rising number of good restaurants, pubs, and cafes, and closeness to attractions like Isla Catalina and the Cueva de las Maravillas.

The Dominican Republic is a popular place for weddings and honeymoons because it has beautiful natural scenery, such as romantic waterfalls, beautiful beaches, and luxurious accommodations.
