Maybe you already decided you are going to use your vacations to have some nice time in the DR but you are wondering what is the best place to go and get the best out of them, if that is the case, you are in the right site to help you take a decisión. Dominican Republic is a very diverse country where you can go to a specific place depending on what kind of experience you would like to have and of course, your budget, some places just offer things like good nightlife, restaurants and events like Santo Domingo, others can offer nice comfortable resorts with some of the best beaches you could ever had along with some activities around the village or the hotel, and in other cases you can have everything, including visiting mountains, hiking, beaches, nightlife and so on. In this list I am giving you some good options you can try to have a nice vacations in Dominican Republic.
#5 Bayahibe
Bayahibe is a nice village that I love because it is small and you can scape from the noisy life of the cities we are used to live, this small town has several hight nice profile resorts along with other list of hotels that you can book just to sleep or with the breakfast included, you can find a room from $40 to 4260 which would depend on your needs and budget. Bayahibe is a very safe place and it is known for being a tourist town, people from different countries retire in this magical village. In this village you can do some activities, mostly related catamaran tour in the sea, Snorkeling, visiting close island like Isla Saona or Catalina, going to Punta Cana to do buggies (most of the time there are people in the hotels that make groups to go or you can ask at the lobby), going to Scape Park (Which is a theme park with different interesting and fun activities also in Punta Cana), you can also do parasailing, which is similar to parapent but it is pullet by a boat.
#4 Boca Chica
This is a Wonderful destinatination for someone who wants to be close to the airport, the capital of the country (Santo Domingo) which is half hour driving, close to the beach and activities around the beach. This town is better known for having different hotels mostly with breakfast included and you can get your other meals at the same hotel or around in restaurants, since there are a lot of restaurants in the area and you can choose depending on your budget, you also have the option to just rent an apartment with a fully equipped kitchen and buy your own things and make your food, there is a grocery store close to the beach that you can visit even walking. This place could be number two but it is number 4 because it is a little messy, there is a lot of people going to the beach from Santo Domingo and other towns and it makes it very crowd mostly on weekends, but there are some hotels that has their private beach space and you can try to book at one of those, there are two all inclusive resorts that you can also consider if you are looking for more privacy.
#3 Samana
Super nice beaches is what comes to my mind when I think of Samana, nice houses and, hiking an waterfalls and the national park called Los Haitises, which is a natural reserve which is a nice to have experience, if it is the season you can also go in a tour to see the whales from close, also you there is different options for nightlife and restaurants, it is not one of the most expensive places, this town has different option from all inclusive resorts to the option to rent an apartment and doing everything yourself.
#2 Puerto Plata
I could say that Puerto Plata has everything without being very messy, noisy or crowded, this is my favorite of the list because it's also a very nice and clean town and people are very friendly, I could also say that everything is cheaper here compared to other places. Here you can also have option from just renting an apartment and getting your groceries to make your meals, to a all inclusive resort, there is a lot of activities you can do here, like hiking, visiting the mountain Isabel De Torres that you can get there through a cable car, you can also visit Ocean World which is a theme park with fun activities for all the family, for me it does not have the best beaches but I say it from my Dominican point of view having in my that we have so many different beaches, but I guess they are still pretty good and I see this place as a good package deal.
#1 Punta Cana
This is the most popular destination in the DR, what makes it the one that has most to offer, but what I do not particularly like about it it's that it is crowded all the time but it's a very organized and clean place, here you have all the options you could imagine and if you just want to relax at the best resort in the caribbean this is what you need, but not necessarily you need to go to a resort, there are also hotels with only the breakfast included and you can just go to any of the tons of restaurants around, or rent an apartment like in other places. In punta cana the nightlife is the best and you have plenty of options to chose, there are also a lot of activities that you can do during the day like buggies, zipline, parasailing, theme park. water parks, hiking, yachting, scuba diving, snorkeling and also going to some close places that have more activities to do, everything is easier to do there since there is always a lot of tourist in Punta Cana and organizing groups is relatively easy to do them. there is always people around who offer the packages for the different activities or you can also ask at the lobbi what activities you can do during the day and they always have flyers explaining them.
Dominican Republic offers a lot of options depending on your needs, it is just a matter of getting the information needed and planning according to budget and goal, there are different apps that can help you make a decision, apps can help you comparing the prices, seeing pictures, renting a car if that's what you want. Just use the tools technology offers.
