Why not experience the local Cuisine and Culture? Did you know that people live and shop and eat outside the GATES of an ALL INCLUSIVE!

All the resorts in the Punta Cana/Bavaro area have very tight security and if you are not a guest of the resort then you must buy a "Day Pass" that usually cost about $35 us dollars. The best place to shop is a small strip mall called Plaza Bavaro but the merchants are very aggressive. You must haggle and NEVER give more than 35% of their first price. They always ask you the same question "How much are you willing to pay" ??? The merchants are more aggressive than a "used car salesman". I have been to this area many times during the last 3 years so feel feel to email me.
