Dominican Republic Island Vacations, Island Tours, and Best Guarantee Hotel Rates
The Dominican Republic occupies two thirds of Hispaniola, and is the third leading destination by travelers from the U.S. Three airports serve the tourist area - Santo Domingo in the South, Punta Cana in the East, and the North area of Puerto Plata.
The Dominican has more hotel rooms than any other island in the Caribbean, which accounts for its large visitor rate, and the island is one of the few where budget accommodations can be found near or directly on a beautiful beach.
However all the resorts are not for the budget minded traveler, and some of the finest resorts such as Sol Melia and Casa de Campo are among choices for vacationers.
The island offers a wide variety of sightseeing, vacation activities, and a strong Spanish heritage.
Dominicans love to dance, and the merengue is the favorite dance of islanders from all walks of life - if you don't know merengue before visiting the Dominican, chances are you will be familiar after visiting this island.
Other popular dances include the samba, bossa nova and salsa, and you can also find jazz and raggae.
