All About Punta Cana
The Dominican Republic was recently discovered by the Europeans as a tourist destination, but increasingly Americans looking for affordable beach getaways are giving this newcomer a try - and then hungrily coming back for more.
Punta Cana vacations are not about stepping off the beaten path or learning about new cultures. They are unabashedly preoccupied with one thing and one thing alone: relaxation. Punta Cana has bar-none the prettiest beaches and the driest weather in the Caribbean and most of the 30 resorts in the area are giant, all-inclusive affairs so there's never a reason to lift a finger or leave the confines of your little paradise.
Though the best thing to do in Punta Cana is absolutely nothing, the region still provides a healthy dose of surf and shore activities. Go scuba diving on nearby Saona Island, snorkel colorful reefs just off the shore, learn to kiteboard, or paddle a kayak into secluded coves. Then, dry off and head for the resort to enjoy Monte Carlo-style casinos, championship golf courses, lavish spas, and hip restaurants and bars.
Clear your calendar, chuck the watch, and enjoy a Punta Cana vacation, where often your biggest goal for the day is perfecting your tan.
