​Don't take our word for it! See International Flight Attendant Paul Hudspith's views about this Dominican Republic and the hotels we feature. Many of our hotel pages below also have their own individual video too...

Puerto Plata/Playa Dorada

The Amber Coast and Playa Dorada Beach boast enough miles of sand to mean you never have to visit the same patch twice. More often than not, the beaches are flour-white and backed by palm trees. Watersports are more than an activity out here, they’re a lifestyle choice, and you can count on seeing surfers in the rip curl on strips of sand like Cabarete and Cofresi. Puerto Plata’s attraction points don’t stop at the shore.

The region’s interior is home to the island’s self-proclaimed answer to the Alps, the Cordillera Central mountain range, which features 3 of the tallest peaks in the Greater Antilles. Elsewhere, mangrove swamps conceal peacock-blue lagoons, and sugar cane fields give way to green coffee. Known as the silver city on the amber coast, Puerto Plata, in the north of the Dominican Republic, is as precious to the country as its name makes it sound. 

Punta Cana

Punta Cana, the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic, abutting the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, is a region known for its 32km stretch of beaches and clear waters. The Bávaro area and Punta Cana combine to form what's known as La Costa del Coco, or the Coconut Coast, land of lavish, all-inclusive resorts. Its wildlife preserves and ecological parks are truly exceptional. Swim with dolphins and sea lions. Speedboat over to Isla Saona with a stop at a sand bar for a quick swim in starfish-filled waters.

Juan Dolio

Located in Juan Dolio Beach, one of the most privileged and quiet of the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic waters. Juan Dolio beach is located about 45 minutes east of Santo Domingo. This beautiful white sand beach stretches for miles, lapped by the gentle waves of the turquoise sea. Juan Dolio Beach is a popular destination for people who enjoy scuba diving since there are several sunken ships to explore off the coast.

The capital city ~ Santo Domingo

With over three million residents, the cosmopolitan city of Santo Domingo is possibly the most vibrant place in the entire Caribbean. Santo Domingo features a rich culture and history juxtaposed against modern developments. In the historic Colonial City, newer hotels are located on ancient cobble-stoned streets; luxury cars share the roads with horse-drawn carriages; an avant-garde international cuisine scene thrives amid classic Creole cuisine; and 21st century buildings rest beside 15th and 16th century traditional houses.
