Paradise - Punta Cana

Quick Tips:

Bring some Imodium with you. A lot of people got sick from the food. Just be careful and remember it's different than what you are used to. Also, you can't drink the water there, but bottled water is plentiful.

Best Way To Get Around:

The hotel is on a 24-mile stretch of beach. We walked about four miles one way and only saw two other hotels. It was a very scenic activity.

This is an all-inclusive resort. The food was ok, not bad considering the amount of people that they have to feed every day. There is always food and drink available at all times of the day. The restaurant by the pool served pizza for lunch, which was very tasty.

The activities staff was always trying to get people involved in dance lessons or games during the day, then they performed a show every night. After the show, they would go to the disco and dance with the visitors. They were very good dancers. The beach is amazing. There are so many palm trees that it is unbelievable. You do have to get up early though to reserve a hut on the beach if you want one.

The Dominican countryside and mountains are beautiful -- I strongly recommend this tour. They also give some proceeds to help the local schools that they visit.
