I am planning (as a surprise!!!..for now) a trip to Punta Cana/Boca Chica/South Coast area for our wedding anniversary.
There is another German/Dominican couple who will probably be joining us.
We are trying to plan a surprise/relaxing holiday for a nice vacation to the South Coast (we were thinking the Punta Cana/Boca Chica areas..but are open to suggestion).
What I want...
I was hoping for a resort, cuz I find it a really nice treat to stay on AI resorts on the beach for a change...the other couple are fine with just a nice hotel...and I am fine with it too. It's just (on the North Coast anyways) half the time, if you are staying on the resort to relax, it is a WAYYY better deal to get the AI, and have all your food/drink included.
Any nice resorts anyone can recomend on the South Coast for a romantic, but fun, anniversary trip?
Also, it is best if it can be booked form the DR. When I tried to book at the Barcelo resorts from the DR for our honeymoon, they would not allow us to book in the DR. It had to be booked from Spain...which of course raises the price considerably.
I was thinking of the Secrets resort in PC...it is Adults only and apparently amazing. But can it be booked only in the DR? Any idea how pricey it can be?
So for the frequent Punta Cana/Boca Chica travelers, what hotels/ resorts and places would you remcomend for a 4night - 8 night stay in the south coast?
As well..the other couple was thinking of flying from POP to PC area for this trip..I think it would be way cheaper and easier to take a bus or drive. Any advice/comments/ideas on this?
Thanks all!!! I have a bit of time..but like to plan in ahead, and discuss with the other couple ASAP.
