Why this trip
Palms leaning towards the sea and a beach that knows no end: Punta Cana on the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic has the Caribbean as you imagine it. Because the coast is long, there is room for privacy if you choose the resort with care. Families find plenty to do by the water: the Scape Park has caves, zipline and lagoons, Wonder Island Park and El Dorado Water Park are more for children, Monkeyland for animal lovers. The Hoyo Azul is a blue freshwater lake in a rock hollow, a highlight for anyone who likes swimming.
Couples stay on the beach or take a boat for a quiet day. The catalogue lists Finest Punta Cana, Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana, Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts and Meliá Caribe Beach Resort, many of them all-inclusive. The best time to travel is from November to April. Samaná in the north offers more nature and fewer resorts and can be reached by road.
If you stay in Punta Cana, it is best to choose a resort on the edge with its own stretch of beach. Island Escapes clarifies in a video call how much programme you want and how much stillness you seek.
