Here are some great kids books to get them excited about traveling to the Dominican Republic: http://storybooklists.com/country/storybooks-with-the-dominican-republic/

Just bluer & add palm trees! Took excursion to platform to see sand sharks & sting rays but sad! Reef looked bleached & black grass nothing green looked dead…hardly any fish at all ! Photos extra & paid $150 each!! Not happy! Tried to relax & enjoy it but not our vibe! Would have loved to see the country but so many people warned us ..so just stayed at resort. For as much as we spent we could have went to Hawaii!

I’ve been researching for the last 2 days and this is the best write up I’ve read. All the other info I found seemed to hype up the destination and yet none of the attractions seemed that interesting to us. My husband and I are well traveled. The DR doesn’t seem to have anything different than what we’ve seen in other places and they don’t seem to be better.

Not much to do except sit on the beach. Not the most beautiful beach in the DR, but very relaxing and great hospitality. The locals are very nice (I’m fluent in Spanish). I walked down to the bay one morning and asked for a ride to Isla Saona, I got on a catamaran. Enjoyed the trip and the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. Took a speed boat back to Bayahibe. That daytrip was very reasonably priced and well worth it. Highly recommend.

I’m Dominican-American and bringing my partner to the island to met my family and friends. And I don’t want us to be trapped in my family home with nothing to do for a week. This blog is SO HELPFUL and has given me so many ideas of where to take him and what to do!

I’m going to the north side for a week and I was considering if I should make the trek to the south and I think after reading this I’m going to chill out just stay north – been around too many tourists and disappointing tours already!
