I took Spirit Air from Atlantic City to Punta Cana airport (layover in Florida)
I was as always greeted by 50 or so Dominicans offering taxi rides. No problems.
I booked everything separate as always and saved hundreds, but I had to pay for a taxi each way ($50 US each way). The drive was about an hour through Punta Cana and up to the resort. The entrance was beautiful; so much that my fianc? and I agreed that the pictures we viewed on the internet did not do it justice in the least bit.
Our rooms were right by the beach and the pool came up to our back door. The pool itself was one of the largest and cleanest I ever seen at an AI in DR. The staff was friendly and our rooms were turned over twice a day.
Lunch grilled on the beach was offered everyday as well as buffets at the main buffet and offered every other day at each of the seven restaurants. The food was excellent except for one ribeye that was overcooked once out of the 8 days I was there (pretty good odds).
Many trips were offered, but I opted to take a taxi into La Romana for the day as I didn?t need a tour guild and saved money again (round trip $110US and he waited for us the whole time). We visited the Altos de Chav?n which was awesome. The only downside was someone showed us around and then demanded $20 for his time. Although you can tell from the pictures that my buddy and I are not small guys, we didn?t want any hassles that would upset the ladies.
We went downtown and eat at a nice downtown place in La Romana called International Caf? (I believe), the food and drinks were great.
We shopped around Higuey a little then headed back.
We took the excursion on the ATV that went through the local down and onto the beach.
Overall I loved the trip.
Check out my pictures and questions or comments are welcome.
Just to help:
I'm the hispanic looking guy with classes, my fiance is the young black girl and my friend is the large white guy and his wife is the young white girl.
The pictures are split into three sets:
