It would be great if you gave us a trip report on your vacation in the DR. Then we’d all have a better idea what you value in a vacation. That way we could tell you about things that you might find interesting from our trips. — To email me, Edit "xt" from my email address. Brian M.

I’d recommend Jamaica for a number of reasons. First, it’s relatively large for a Caribbean island, some 135 miles long and 50 miles wide. Second, it has the tallest mountains in the Caribbean… these factors mean you can enjoy a lush, rainforest type environment on the extreme east end to an arid environment on the west end. The mountains are amazing, with wild flowers that are stunning. Regardless of popular opinion, the people are great, particularly when you get out of Mobay, Ocho Rios or Kingston. Additionally, there are historic villas like Fire Fly in Port Maria (where Noel Coward lived, and possessing the most beautiful view I’ve ever seen in the Caribbean), great waterfalls, orchid plantations and splendid beaches ( a 7 mile long white sand beach in Negril). One of the best things to do is go to a local farmer’s market on Market Day… a real feast for the senses. The food and drink are great, with varied and interesting cuisine. And, relatively speaking, everything is cheap, Jamaica is perhaps the most inexpensive place we’ve stayed in the tropics (excepting possibly the DR). We’ve been to the island about 12 times and we find new and exciting things every time. Where ever you go, I’d strongly advise against an all inclusive. Once you’ve paid for everything it’s sometimes difficult to leave the resort and experience the real country (which is much different than the little enclave you experience in the resort)… and after all, isn’t that why you travel to a different culture? For the same reasons, I’m not a cruise fan. I’ve seen to many places, from Tobago to Jamaica to Cozumel to Curacao, to Cabo where the boat people flock ashore, are mobbed by vendors and herded to the local attractions and then trucked back to the boat… all without really getting into the local scene.

Yes please… I also would be interested in reading about your trip to the Dominican Republic. Where you stayed and what area you enjoyed the most. I just saw an advertisement for DR ….Perto Plata area. This it to the North I believe on the Atlantic side. Is it better to stay in the Southern regions (Caribbean side)?? Any info posted would be helpful. Thanks, Dwayne

my vacation, i went to the DR in october and i enjoyed the whole trip!!! we stayed that the Bahia Principe in Punta Cana. The resort was awesome when we were there however i hear that they have been having problems since they opened up another section to it with the food and such. when i was there it was fine. and since there was the malaria outbreak, which i believe has been cleared up but i am not positive. i spent a lot of my time there on the beach and goin to the market on the resort and going to the towns, which was really cool but i also went to manati park to swim with the dolphins, which was an awesome experience!! the park itself was nothing special but swimming with the dolphins was something that i always wanted to do!! we also went on the bavaro runners tour which was neat we got to go to a ranch and ride horses kinda and got a tour of a locals house who produces lots of things that are sold to tourists. that’s all that i can think of right now that we did however i know that there was more i will have to look at my photos and post again…oh yes on thing that we did cuz it was a school trip was we did some hotel inspections and visited 3 different hotels in punta cana and compared them all one that i really liked was ocean bavaro!!! – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Yes please… > I also would be interested in reading about your trip to the Dominican > Republic. > Where you stayed and what area you enjoyed the most. > I just saw an advertisement for DR ….Perto Plata area.
