Bargain Holidays in Dominican Republic

One of the most popular Caribbean holiday destinations, the Dominican Republic offers lush, verdant landscapes, fantastic tropical beaches, beautiful colonial architecture and Latin American charm. You cannot fail to be enchanted by the friendly people, beautiful scenery and the hypnotic beat of the Merengue.

Holiday Fact File

Beaches: The North coast offers long stretches of golden sand, and beaches at Cabarete offer some of the best windsurfing in the Caribbean. On the South East coast, Bávaro and Bayahibe boast some of the best beaches in the world, with beautiful, unblemished sands and clear, turquoise seas backed by tall shady palm trees.

Sightseeing: Spend a day exploring the natural beauty of the county on an outback jeep safari, go white-water rafting on the Yaques del Norte River - an unforgettable experience or enjoy a day relaxing on the sundecks of a freestyle catamaran. The paradise island of Saona is also well worth a visit.

Eating Out: Dominican cuisine is a delicious blend of Spanish, African and Taino elements. Local seafood and tropical fruits are specialities, but you should also try the 'Dominican Flag' which consists of rice, beans, fried plantain and creole-style chicken. Locally brewed rum and beer are excellent value for money.

Nightlife: In the resort of Playa Dorada you'll find a small selection of casinos, bars and hotel discos. The resorts on the South and East coasts provide a taste of local entertainment and in Bávaro, nightlife is centred around the hotels.

Shopping: The Dominican Republic offers a whole host of locally produced goods that make excellent souvenirs. Dominican coffee, rum and cigars are fantastic and also great value for money. Look out for locally mined amber, malachite, larimar, silver and gold jewellery and leather goods, painting and wooden carvings are also great buys.

Unique Experience: The capital, Santo Domingo, is the oldest city in the Americas and boasts fascinating colonial architecture and interesting streets just waiting to be explored. Jurassic Park was filmed in Jarabocoa, a beautiful part of the country where cherries, apples and strawberries thrive in the temperate climate. See the whales in Samana (Winter only) or drive your own speedboat over the idyllic Caribbean sea (East only).

Weather: Rainy season is during the winter months. During the summer rainfall is often in short, tropical bursts.
