Has anyone been to punta cana (dominican republic)? |
Travel Info I am thinking about going to Punta Cana - I was just wondering if it is safe around the city? What are some of the things you have to watch for (other than normal travel precautions)? Also, what are some of the great things? Please only those who know first hand or from someone they know. I can research myself I need someone with true experience. Thanks Travel Tips i went and had a great time. THere are many excursion and trips you can take for a few extra bucks. It's beautiful there, the people there are SOOOOOO nice. The food is actually pretty good. Dont drink the water. Brush your teeth with bottled water. Bring bread to the ocean. If you throw bits of bread the fish come right up to you. it's beautiful. You'll get a fantastic tan. I'm still dark and I came home 3 weeks ago. Always bargain prices atleast 40% off. They are VERY pushy so be careful. When you go on excursions there are sometimes kids that will try to sell you bottled water. Make sure it hasn't bee opened before! Sometimes they take empty bottles and fill them up and try to sell it again. IT happened to me...good thing I noticed it and just used the water to cool me off. Go 4-wheeling. SO mUch FUN! snorkeling ofcourse is a must. sugar cane fields! nuff said. As for the city I'm guessing you mean Santo Domingo. THat's a good 2-3 hour drive from Punta Cana. I didnt have interest in going there unless you want a KFC or MCdonalds. I wouldnt suggest venturing off the resort unless it's with a tour or excursion. Don't convert your money to pesos. If you're going with your family and have young children I suggest Breezes its very family friendly and the entertainment is directed towards children. If you're a couple--DONT GO THERE. the kids will drive you crazy. Secrets Excellence is supposed to be the best. Finally, if you search the weather before hand; dont get discouraged. It said it was supposed to rain everyday on our vacation. IT rained two times, each time lasting 10 minutes. :) ENJOY! HOPE THIS HELPED! Source(s): was there July '06 Other Travel Tips my father went. The resort was surrounded by a fence and guards. He said it was like a prison at night. The daytime was not as bad. my parents went last march, they enjoyed themselves, but said they probably wouldn't back again. they stayed in a beautiful resort, but couldn't really leave becuase it is quite dangerous. so they were kinda bored. also the plane ride over is pretty long, if you don't fly that often. if you are just going to party then it's a great place, because really all you can do is drink, eat, swim, sun tan (it is incredibly hot) and sleep. GO!!!!!!!!!! its the best down there. it is safe around the city. they have cop on all most ever street corner with guns or night sticks. but for me i felt more safe i did down there then i did in my own town. besides the normal travel precautions i would just say dont drink there water. drink the water that comes in a bottle or the restraints water(ice and water they give to ya in the cups.) some other great things is going to Santo Domingo. u got the old town and a new town mixed into one. i would say go out side of the hotel!!! just see the country is fun. do some excursions. my fav. were the outback safari, james bond(u drive a jet boat then go snorkling then go back on a boat) and swimming with string rays and sharks. the dominican is just the best place. been there 2 times in a yr. have pic if u want to see any go ahead and email me Don't drink the water, I personally hated Punta Cana. Very deprived and depressed country side. |
