There is a distinctive Spanish feel to holidays in Dominican Republic, with colonial towns spattered amongst the rolling green hillsides which were built by slaves working the sugar canes. These very hills are popular with walkers or you can go horse riding with local stables.
The Dominican Republic is all about beautiful beaches, warm waters,water sports and of course plenty of hot Caribbean sunshine
Holidays in Dominican Republic are not complete without sampling the local cuisine. The food brings together flavours from African and Spanish cultures and the national dish is a mix of meat and vegetables called Sancocho. As with most other Caribbean holiday resorts, rum is a popular drink along with tropical cocktails and local beer.
Nightlife in the Dominican Republic is varied, many resorts are hotel based entertainment, although Sousa, Cabarete and Playa Dorada have a fair share of lively bars, beach bars and a couple of discos. Playa Dorada even has a casino too. The northern resorts tend to be much livelier than the south.
Dominican Republic is often thought of as the first choice for cheap holidays in the Caribbean, but there are an excellent range of hotels to suit all tastes and budgets.
