Which do you think is nicer part of the dominican? |
Travel Info peurto plata? punta cana? bavaro beach? playa dorado? Travel Tips i've heard punta cana has the best beaches Others I have only been to playa dorado, so I can't comment on the rest. I would recommend it though. peurto plata is really nice and well in reach of most of the best beaches. i would go for that From the reviews that I've read, I understand it to be a coin-flip between Punta Cana and Bavaro. I've only been to Puerto Plata - but it is lovely. Very close to Sosua too which has got a gorgeous beach which surrounds a little sea inlet with clear clear water. Without a doubt, Punta Cana. We've been several times, first time we stayed at Natura Park in P. Cana. Then we thought why not try Puerto Plata, Sosua, Cabarete. We stayed Hotel Bahia Principe and it was the worst holiday we've ever had, and I'm very well travelled. There were loads of sand flies, everyone in the hotel got bitten to hell, and some people were effected really badly. Quite frankly I don't know why people rave about Sosua, it was a dump as far as I'm concerned. Finally we got a car and went with some friends to the beaches where the locals go and we were fine there. But overall I'd say Punta Cana every time it's miles better, we've been back twice since and are going again at Christmas, but never again to Puerta Plata. Why not check out www.tripadvisor.com see what others say. That really depends on what you find 'nice', and what kind of holiday/vacation you enjoy best. One of the nicest places here for beach fun is not on your list, Bayahibe, with Dominicus Beach, this is a area with 6 major hotels, and beautiful protected waters. Saona Island is nearby with most hotels offering excursions every day. The countryside around Playa Dorada is much prettier than either Punta Cana or Bayahibe, but the coast is Atlantic facing and much more weather-prone. The most beautiful countryside, in my opinion ( I have lived here for ten years and have travelled most of the country ), is the Samana peninsula, the road between Sanchez and Las Terrenas is probably the most spectacular in the country, and once of the prettiest that I have seen in the world. If you want to look around the country I would probably choose Playa Dorada, and then rent a car to explore ( with due caution, the drivers here make Italians in Rome look like angels ! ). If you want the beach stuff then Punta Cana/Bavaro or Bayahibe. Whatever you choose have fun, and try to get out of the hotel a bit, it's an amazing country away from the tourist areas. |
