When is the last time you visited/stayed at a Punta Cana AI? Because there a quite a few very nice ones and this is a fact. I have been here a very long time, and any push for tourism ( while I would like to see more for the North Coast ) I would not consider it a bad thing.
Canada got it wrong from start to finish. I have friends from that country who've decided just stay down here rather than return to their new Covid 1984 draconian way of life. Who would have thought it would be the Dominican doing the better job?
Depends on what part of Canada. Canadas infection rate and death rate are on the lower end of the scale when you compare them ti most countries. They did do a horrible job in old age homes at first. My home province of BC has done a good job.
Hi. Was at Tortuga Bay a number of years ago. Ranieri has done a very nice site. Beautiful villa and playa blanca.
Good to hear you were at the only five diamond hotel in the Dominican Republic.
You don't need a test to enter any European Union country from the DR if you are fully vaccinated by EMA approved vaccine. In addition to that some EU countries allow reentry if vaccinated by WHO approved vaccine (and not yet approved by EMA).
Tortuga Bay is my “go to” favorite. And I enjoy it because it is not an AI.
I should have asked what laws/regulations prevent such a US positive testing citizen from flying to the DR. Not what is in the person's mind, but what laws or regulations would prevent this. I expect none since no test is needed to board the plane in the US and many positive and contagious people have Omicron and can spread it but have no outward symptoms. In other words, they would never even know they were positive.
It isn't about a best or worst. It is about a simple realization nothing is stopping asymptomatic people from entering the DR from the US. The asymptomatic have no way of knowing and even testing, which is not required to leave the US, is no guarantee when it comes to omicron.
True dat,. All the slovenly "all you can eat " set that must use their union earned leave before it expires. They are easy to spot, they drink all day and never leave the pool, not even for pp breaks

The country is a rare pandemic success story, with recent visitor numbers far surpassing those of most other Caribbean destinations. Easy entry rules are a draw, but some locals are uneasy.
Unlike many other Caribbean beach destinations, the Dominican Republic doesn’t require proof of vaccination, test results or quarantine for most incoming travelers. Above, a scene in Punta Cana, one of the most popular spots.Credit...Tony Cenicola/The New York Time

Maybe locals don't want to be locked down again. Lock down in DR is no joke. Gringo's in US and other places had a paid vacation with their lock down. Gringo's cry about masks and quarantines. How would you like to be rounded up on the streets if out past curfew? How would you like to be out of a job without financial help? Lock down in DR means what it say's and gringos are too weak to handle that. But that's why DR had very low COVID infections and that's why locals feel uneasy about easy entry rules.The country is a rare pandemic success story, with recent visitor numbers far surpassing those of most other Caribbean destinations.
