Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is the second largest nation in the Caribbean. It is located east of Jamaica and Cuba, west of
Puerto Rico, and about 600 miles from the southern tip of Florida. The large island of Hispaniola is shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti. This nation is one of the most popular vacation
destinations in the Caribbean, in part because it has the largest all inclusive resort industry in the world. At All Points Travel, we offer Apple Vacations to ensure that you will receive
premium services at affordable prices. An Apple Vacations Caribbean vacation to Punta Cana is sure to please.
A Description of the Dominican Republic
All inclusive vacations are great for inexperienced or conservative travelers. Set rates include airfare, hotel, food,
drinks, beautiful beaches, shopping and entertainment, all in a protected tourist environment. For the more adventurous, the Dominican Republic has rain forests, coastal swamps, desert, and the
highest mountains in the Caribbean. Customized travel packages can be tailored to meet every individual's needs. Visitors will find warm temperatures year round with very little variation.
Warm water is a welcome treat for vacationers. It also attracts marine animals such as humpback whales that can be spotted playing not far offshore.
Baseball and dancing the merengue are popular activities in the Dominican Republic. The most popular souvenirs are
the local cigars, said to rival the quality of those produced in Cuba. The nation has one of the world's largest reserves of amber, which is petrified sap from trees that were living on the
island 50 million years ago. It is the only place in the world where larumar is found. Shops and malls all over the Caribbean sell dazzling gems from the Dominican Republic. In addition to amber,
they include diamonds, rubies, emeralds, larimar and sapphires.
The capital is Santo Domingo, the oldest city in the Americas. A lively nightlife is
provided, including full gaming casinos. Cultural and historical attractions are notable. But the main attraction of the Dominican Republic is its miles of balmy, powdery beaches with warm
sunshine and beautiful turquoise water. Resort areas such as Punta Cana offer deserted beaches, cocoanut palms, and friendly natives. Let us help you plan your dream vacation with some of the
best travel deals available.
