Dominican Republic has become a popular holiday destination for people from all over the world. There are dozens of beautiful large, mostly all-inclusive hotels, spread over more than 30 miles (50 km) of beautiful white sand beaches, some of the most beautiful in the world. Palm trees dot the landscape, and it is truly a beautiful area of the Dominican Republic. There are many new resorts here that include spas, casinos, an amazing selection of dining options, on-site weddings, kids' clubs and large freeform pools.
The North Coast of the Dominican Republic is nicknamed the Amber Coast, because of its rich deposits of semi-precious amber. It is also the coast where Columbus landed on his first voyage of discovery. It is comprised of an assortment of thriving beach towns, resorts and communities, nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and a chain of majestic coastal mountains - some of the most beautiful scenery in the Caribbean.
The South Coast, or Caribbean Coast, has miles of beautiful coastline and beaches, and is also where Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, is located. Santo Domingo is known as the “birthplace of the Americas”, for it was the first European city of the Western Hemisphere. Today, with a population of over 2 million, it is the largest and most populated city in the Dominican Republic. Its colonial heritage is preserved in the Colonial Zone where you can see the first cathedral, first monastery, first hospital, first university, and first court of law, all dating back to the 16th century.

Hundreds of kilometers of coastline define the Dominican Republic (DR) – some of it white-sand beaches shaded by rows of palm trees, other parts lined dramatically with rocky cliffs, wind-swept dunes or serene mangrove lagoons. Whether it’s fishing villages with boats moored along the shores, or indulgent tourist playgrounds with aquamarine waters, the sea is the common denominator. Some of the bays and coves where pirates once roamed are the temporary home of thousands of migrating humpback whales, and form part of an extensive network of parks and preserves safeguarding the country’s natural heritage.

The Dominican Republic is the birthplace of meringue and traditional Caribbean music. Its culture is unique and its open and cheerful people are the best hosts. Discover its cuisine by taste-testing the variety of different plantain and bean meals and trying new and flavorful dishes. In no time at all, you’ll feel right at home.

Dominican Republic, country of the West Indies that occupies the eastern two-thirds of Hispaniola, the second largest island of the Greater Antilles chain in the Caribbean Sea. Haiti, also an independent republic, occupies the western third of the island. The Dominican Republic’s shores are washed by the Caribbean to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the north. Between the eastern tip of the island and Puerto Rico flows the Mona Passage, a channel about 80 miles (130 km) wide. The Turks and Caicos Islands are located some 90 miles (145 km) to the north, and Colombia lies about 300 miles (500 km) to the south. The republic’s area, which includes such adjacent islands as Saona, Beata, and Catalina, is about half the size of Portugal. The national capital is Santo Domingo, on the southern coast.

Why is the extortion so out of control?? This is a beautiful country with wonderful people but I am not sure it’s worth the risk of the corrupt police forces. In less than a weeks vacation we were stopped 4 times. Driving in and out of the airport we faced extortion and my wife sexual harassment. To provide some background I am a very safe driver. I had not been pulled over in 5 years and I drive over 25000 miles annually. We are both Americans. I am a gringo and my wife was born in Venezuela (she is bilingual). It happened the same way every time with different officers. This seems like a very systematic method of extorting money from tourists not just a single corrupt cop. Why is this tolerated at a government level? It seems like the damage to the tourism industry far exceeds whatever gains the extortion produces

Combine flawless beaches, clear turquoise waters and an impressive year-round climate for an unforgettable beach break. Our carefully selected hotels will provide the perfect base for any holiday type; choose a family friendly resort, luxurious spa hotel or great value All Inclusive. But it’s when you explore further a field that you get to know the true personality of this diverse destination. Sample Latin American inspired cuisine, feel the Caribbean rhythm as you learn the Merengue and be captivated by the old-world charm of Santo Domingo.

The different resort areas of the country are varied, offering visitors to this tropical paradise a wide array of wonderful options.

How about sailing on a white catamaran to a secluded beach of breathtaking beauty? Or meeting a local farmer to taste some freshly ground coffee? Of course, always included are good island rhythms, very friendly people, plenty of drinks and lots of tropical sunshine. Sound good?
