Hi

Hi -

 

We are doing a Transatlantic/Southern Caribbean cruise on the Legend of the Seas in December which ends in the DR (Santo Domingo)

 

We are thinking about staying in the Punta Cana area for a few days post cruise. Can anyone recommend a resort to stay at.

 

Also, what are the realities of the DR? We don't like being in areas with lots of poverty, begging children, stray/sickly animals.

 

What can we expect. Thanks

this is because its almost 4hrs by car from santo domingo

there are a lots of nice hotels..but deppends how much you want to pay per night..

Hello Pacific Sandy

Punta Cana is our most favorite place for a land based vacation. There are so many resorts to pick from. The following is a list of 5 & 6-star resorts.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace-5

Paradisus Pinta Cana-5

 

Sunscape Beach Punta Cana-6

Iberostar Bavaro All Suites Resort-6

Rui Palace Punta Cana

Ginger & I have been to Barcelo Bavaro Palace 4-times, and its are favorite. Most of the resort require at least a 3-night stay. All the resort in Punta Cana are All-inclusive, which includes all meals,drinks..(free booze),dips,room & taxes.

Have not stay in La Romana, but we have friends that just return last week. They stay at the Sunscape & love it.

Hope this ino helps.
