Punta CanaSprawled out along the Dominican Republic's easternmost point, the city of Punta sits beautifully before long stretches of white sand, granules of time that have been brought upon and carried off by clean, clear waters surrounding one of the most exquisite Caribbean locales in the region. Though the D.R. does indeed border the nation of Haiti, it is often considered solitary by the world's choicest travel agencies and tourism bureaus and corporations, a factoid that, though it soon may need revising, is worth noting and keeping in mind, particularly when highlighting the country's best characteristics. And, as it turns out, Punta Cana is the most distant location from the border dividing the island. A city often explored from the sea to its innermost district, Punta Cana is, in our opinion, is best viewed starting at its center. Our philosophy: The waves remain, but the city's residential and business sectors change what seems to be yearly. The benefit to travelers' commencing their excursions here at a central point is easy access to all of the area's sites, whether man-made or natural. Most visitors to the city opt for stays in which one remains secluded amongst the palms and the resorts, whereas just as many interesting happenings, if not more, occur further inland, perhaps even in the plantation regions of the nation's eastern province. (Note: We use the term loosely.) Keep to the hotel suites, or strap a pack upon your shoulders for the most genuine cultural experiences you'll come across in the South Caribbean. As long as your sights are on Punta Cana, little will disappoint. Book your flight to the Dominican Republic's easternmost delight today.
When to go:
One of the most climatically superb destinations in the world, Punta Cana is the recipient of a great deal of goodness from the skies, and with a relatively low chance of a direct encounter with tropical storms, the city's "open year-round" status is a chief factor in its steadily growing popularity amongst the world's tourists. Whether you choose to come at a time when your hometown is frozen over, or simply wish to spend a vacation or break in a temperate foreign land, Punta Cana assuredly delivers consistency and pleasure in the way of an enjoyable environment.
Getting there and around:
Nonstop flights are easy to come by in the Caribbean circle, and though many travelers en route to Punta Cana are situated first and foremost thousands of miles from this city's shore, most arrive on connections from nearby cities with more internationally recognized terminals. Once flyers arrive and gather their luggage caches, they may choose from taxis, buses, and rental cars to get to where they want to go. Private transportation fares can quickly add up, therefore its best to take the role of a pedestrian as much as possible during one's stay in the city. Buses are perfect for quick trips around town, and are by no means cause for financial alarm.
Attractions:
The Melia Caribe Tropical Resort and the Barcelo Bavaro complex both hold an array of services which directly cater to those in need of rest and rejuvenation while providing the standard sets of pools, spas, and beachfront activities.
