Playas de la República Dominicana

The beaches that I've seen look like postcards. They are so beautiful - white and soft sand, clear water, warm like a bathtub. Since it's a tropical island, it's always warm (around 30ºC) and even if it rains, it doesn't last very long. My boyfriend who grew up in that country can't remember a day without a bit of sunshine. It's no surprise that the Dominican Republic is one of the top touristic countries with Punta Cana being the mekka of all-inclusive hotels. Don't be surprised to find one resort after the other, even the prices are often given in USD instead of Dominican pesos. The hotel region of Punta Cana is also called Bavaro, named after their first all-inclusive hotel "Bavaro".

So here are a few examples.

I'll talk about our hotel lateron because we just stayed for three nights to relax from the traffic... The next post will be about the capital Santo Domingo...
