Overview
Palm trees, warm sea and mountain rainforest: the Dominican Republic is a Caribbean classic for families, and from November to April it stays dry and sunny. Anyone coming here with children usually chooses a beach resort and stays there, because long drives on bumpy roads are more tiring than adventurous. Punta Cana on the east coast stands for long beaches with a shallow entry and resorts with kids' clubs, where parents also find time for themselves. Samaná in the northeast is greener and quieter, with bays, coconut palms and boat trips to waterfalls once the children are a little older.
Santo Domingo is the oldest city of the New World and makes a good day destination for school-age children who like history. Important for families: do not drink tap water, not even for brushing teeth, but use sealed bottles or filtered water. Outside the resorts, arranged transfers are safer than spontaneous taxis. Cash in the local currency is often the only option outside the tourist centres.
Light, airy clothing and good sun cream are a must for children's skin, and hats for the little ones anyway.
