The marvellous resort area of Punta Cana is located in the east of the Dominican Republic.
It is a very popular destination and good choice for couples and families seeking the perfect beach and rest and relax vacation. This region is famous for the European Style hotels and magnificent shopping strolls opportunities for traditional art and typical crafts.
The lovely Punta Cana shoreline is protected by law, making sure that no manmade structure can affect the lush natural beauty of these calm tranquil beaches, which are perfect for water sport lovers, especially for snorkelers and divers.
Punta Cana features Golf courses that are second to none.
Visit Punta Cana and find the best place for vegging out miles of silky fine white sand, deserted beaches with coconut palms. Come here to play in the waves of crystal clear blue waters and have your siesta under a swaying palm on a quaint tropical beach.
Within the Punta Cana areas there are no small villages as such but a lot of shopping plazas have now been built with bars and banks, small supermarkets, coffee shops and gift and clothes shops and pharmacies. Easily accessed by car or a short taxi ride from your hotel you will quickly come across one of the many plazas in the area.
Enjoys an excellent sunshine record. Subject to heavy rainfalls at certain times of year, though holidaymakers need pack little more than light cotton summer casuals for their visit. If you do intend to explore the major cities, however youll find a more conservative dress code.
Please note that June to November is generally the Hurricane season for the Caribbean.
In between soaking up the sun and generally marvelling at your luck at having landed on your feet and the fact that you are staying in such a super resort, strange as it may seem you may experience a yearning to venture out and see what this part of the island does indeed have to offer. There are an abundance of tours and excursions to choose from the very wet and watery to trekking inland a while on a jeep discovery tour. Wet and watery things to do include deep sea fishing, various boat rides from party rafts to cruising up the coast line and then snorkelling over rays and sharks, dolphin encounters in the middle of the ocean, diving and snorkelling tours. Small individual speed boats can be hired for organised fun tours.
