Sheila’s Picks for the Dominican Republic 

Erica Stagg Travel Consultant Labrador City, NL estagg@legrowstravel.ca Ask Erica

“The Dominican Republic is such a diverse destination. Samana, Punta Cana, Puerto Plata and La Romana could not be more different from each other. They really could be four separate islands and each offers a wonderful array of accommodation choices.”

It’s not so much whether the Dominican Republic is the right tropical escape for you this winter. Rather, it’s which part of this delightful beach-fringed nation suits you best.

The long-time getaway for the value-conscious visitor has morphed into one of the most diverse destinations in the Caribbean, with no fewer than four distinct hotspots—La Romana, Punta Cana, Puerto Plata and Samana—from which to choose.

Here’s the skinny on two of our top recommendations for sunny escapes to the Dominican Republic, as suggested by Erica Stagg and her LeGrow’s Travel colleagues.
