Hi folks, I'm visiting the Majestic Colonial in August (majestic swim up room). I have a couple of questions... - I booked with Expedia, and they have me a confirmation number. Is this normal at the hotel to show up with a confirmation only. I have seen other guests at other hotels in PC be...

Does the D.R. require visas for holders of a Diplomatic Passport visiting for vacation?

Just an informational post for people going to the IB Costa Dorada.. Wifi in the lobby area, decent connection. $5 for 30 minutes or $13 for 24 hours. You go to a teller window next to the internet room to purchase it. This is not written down in the hotel guide or anything. Also important...

I saw one report that wifi was available in the lobby. Is this true?

I've visited the DR about 8 times now, and all to Punta Cana (shame on me...but I sure love the beach!). This time I got a decent deal on Iberostar Costa Dorada and am headed down Feb 15. Does anyone have anything interesting to share about that resort, and/or recommendations on fun things...

Hi All, I just got back from a 7 day trip to the Paradisus Palma Real (PPR). I booked the trip through Air Canada Vacations after learning the Bavaro Princess had a fire. I had an Ocean View Royal Service Suite and had the Executive Class upgrade with Air Canada from Toronto. This was my...

I want to drop them a line and request that they put me in a room with one king size bed instead of two doubles. Does anyone know what email to use, or possibly even a contact there? I tried the general email from the website and received no response. Thanks...

Most people going to Punta Cana are on tour packages, and have their ground transportation included in the package. Has anyone ditched the bus and took a taxi? Is it faster? Do you run into any hassle with the tour operator?

I often stay at the Bavaro Princess, and every time I walk outside the gates and head toward the plaza, I get every single guy who is trying to sell some paintings coming over wanting to shake my hand and invite me to his shop. I don't know spanish, and I know these people just want to make a...
