Why Choose the Dominican Republic for Your Holiday Destination?
No tropical island more beautiful in the world…
Beautiful Dominican Republic – click to enlarge
When Christopher Columbus arrived on the Dominican Republic's shores in 1492, he proclaimed, "There is no island that is more beautiful in the world".
For visitors of the country today, the Dominican Republic definitely represents just that. It is simply a tropical island paradise to discover – golden sandy beaches, crystal clear turquoise waters, mysterious lush valleys, majestic tall mountains and wonderfully friendly people.
Any time is a good time to visit the Dominican Republic because of its warm and generally sunny climate all year round. Some call the weather here 'the endless summer'.
The busiest tourism season in the Dominican Republic runs from December through April, where many North Americans and Europeans visit to get a warm, tropical break from the cold temperatures in their home countries.

The next busiest period is in the summer months, June through September, when the majority of visitors are made up of Europeans visiting for their long summer vacations.
Generally, the busier the season, the more in advance you should begin to plan your visit in order to secure your flight and accommodations of choice.
Accommodation rates fluctuate slightly (are generally higher) during the busier tourism months, but almost all other costs, such as food & beverages, excursions, sporting activities, etc., remain constant year-round.
Although many people visit the Dominican Republic for a relaxing, beautiful tropical island beach vacation, this prime Caribbean holiday destination spot offers an incredible variety of sports and adventure opportunities – mountain biking, diving, windsurfing, kiteboarding, surfing, canyoning, golfing, and fishing – to name a few.

Arriving to the Dominican Republic
There are four international airports in the Dominican Republic. It's a big island so make sure you choose your flight correctly! We strongly recommend that you fly into is Puerto Plata (POP) as it's only 25 minutes away from Cabarete.
