The Dominican Republic (DR) is a land of contrasts – the physical kind, like the highest peak and the lowest point in the Caribbean, and the more metaphorical kind, like that between the urban street life of Santo Domingo and the rural villages only a short drive away. Santo Domingo, or ‘La Capital’ as it’s typically called, is to Dominicans what New York is to Americans, a collage of cultures; or what Havana is to Cubans, a vibrant beating heart that fuels the entire country. It’s also a living museum, offering the sight of New World firsts scattered around the charming cobblestone streets of the Zona Colonial.
The DR is also famous for the large all-inclusive resorts that dominate much of the country’s prime beachfront real estate. However, the result is less like the high-rise congestion of Cancun or Miami and more like low-slung retirement communities, albeit ones populated by families, couples and singles of all ages looking for a hassle-free holiday. Beyond the gated luxury enclaves, the roads lead inland past vast sugar plantations and through small villages. To get away from the get-away, travelers head to the Península de Samaná, where the European vibe is as strong as an espresso, and where escape is the operative word. Cabarete on the North Coast has winds which draw adrenaline junkies from around the world. And for the anti-Caribbean experience head to the popular mountain retreats of Jarabacoa and Constanza – places where bathing suits are out and sweaters are in.
I recommend the Isla Saona excursion it's a katamaran and speed boat trip to a small east coast dominican island stopin by some of DR hidden treasures like
*Saonas white sandy beach and clear waters
*A natural pool "picina natural" (between the islands) at sea
*manglares
It's a 1/2 day excursion, Splish Splash is a provider, includes round trip bus trasportation from the hotel, Lunch@ saonas beach, vitamins "Rhum" and nonstop nature ask for it at the hotel or your travel agent. It's worth the Trip. And if you go to Bavaro or Punta Cana, Captin Cook is a good Sea food Restaurant specialised in Lobsters it's@Bavaro Beach(one of the top beaches of DR).

Come to the caribbean enjoy nature at its best
