Dominican Republic is a popular choice with those seeking year round sunshine, stretches of porcelain white sand beaches, swaying palm trees and crystal clear waters.  The many resorts offer relaxing beach bars and arrays of fabulous facilities but no matter what resort you stay in, you can’t escape the beach and with a range of water sports available you’ll have plenty to do.  Why not try scuba diving or snorkelling and explore the impressive coral reefs the island has to offer? Or head inland to visit the historic towns and lavish cathedral. This tropical destination is a true gem and one you’re sure to fall in love with.

Staff Comments

"I went on holiday to Dominican Republic in June 2009 and it was one the best holidays of my life. The hotels are truly lush and the beaches literally took my breath-away they were that beautiful! The tropical thunderstorms were exciting to see and they cleared up quick enough to let the sun shine through, leaving plenty of time to relax in the sun. There were loads of water sports on offer to keep us busy but all in all it was a perfect, relaxing holiday." Katrina Boyle, Marketing Assistant
