Anyone been to Dominican Republic?

In trying to figure out a vacation, DH looked on the Spirit website and found $59 tix to Dom. Rep. Also $39 to Ft. Myers. DR would be most likely an all inclusive place for a week. But I found places on VRBO on Marco Island, FL for a decent weekly rate too.

I've never been to DR, anyone been? I'm thinking it might be less expensive to do the FL trip even w/getting a cheap rental car than a whole DR trip. We'll definitely fly Spirit b/c we have a credit to use. DH called me about it early this morning so I haven't looked into either very much yet.

  • Here is my review from Tripadvisor.  We went in summer of '09.  I thought it was a great getaway for the price.  A rental car wouldn't be needed IMO, it is kinda one of those islands that you just want to stay on the resort at.

    FWIW, Puerto Plata was a very nice beach and is cheaper/less popular than Punta Cana.  I'd definitely go back.

  • my aunt and uncle go to the DR several times a year.  They stay at different resorts, but always all-inclusive. 

    In fact, if they both lose their jobs, they might just move there!  ha ha

    If you want any recs, let me know and I'll ask for some.

  • my MIL and FIL went there back in Feb. for 10 days. They stayed at an all-inclusive. They did go around the island but used a taxi instead of renting a car. They loved it.

    They go somewhere every Jan/Feb and will be going back again this next year. They have even talked about taking the entire family down there.
