“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. For
