Hello I am trying to help my cousin and her husband plan a honeymoon trip to the DR from roughly May 5-12. I have been to the DR (PP, Santo Domingo, Santiago) a couple times so they feel I may be able to pick out a destination for them. They are looking for a little getaway and do not want to spend tons of money.
Their ideal honeymoon is very simple and has more to do with just being in the DR with the weather and the people than about fancy stuff. They just want access to a beach, a few activities, views and possibly a little nightlife near by. They are coming from Virginia, they can fly out of Richmond, Charlotte, or Washington DC.
I've researched packages in Punta Cana and they were about $2,000 for the 7 or 8 day trip including flight. They said thats too much for this trip and they wanted to do it cheaper. So I'm assuming I'll be splitting up the flight part and booking a Non AI hotel. They dont speak spanish at all mind you.
So from the experience on this forum what would you suggest as a semi-romantic location in the DR (north coast/east coast -PP, Cabarete , La romana, Las terrenas, punta cana, bavaro)? Once I narrow down the area I can look at hotels with the help of this forum. What area would be most likely to fit their budget.
Thanks in advance.
