The Dominican Republic is an easy skip (2.5 hours) by air from Miami and a good destination for both couples and families.

The Dominican is a nice change from Cancun and other Mexican cities. (Spanish is still the common language) There are several cities to choose from to relax and enjoy.  Available are standard hotels and resorts as well as “All Inclusive Properties”

 The water is clear and clean and the beaches are pristine and lush with palm trees.  I particularly like the La Ramana area. 

There are several resorts to choose from but I will focus on Case De Campo  http://www.casadecampo.com.do

 This is a large (7,000 acre) full service resort, hotel and residential community.

• Beautiful grounds with shopping, dinning restaurants and more
• Hotel - Condo’s – Villas are all available
• 3 Pete Dye golf courses
• Equestrian riding and Polo
• Tennis – Biking - Hiking
• Marina - Water sports -
• World Class shooting and hunting opportunities – Skeet and Trap as well as Quail, Dove, Pheasant, and Ducks       

 I stayed in a lovely villa with 6 bedrooms a large pool, hot tub, golf cart for transportation, a maid and gardener. Having the freedom to come and go throughout the grounds was very enjoyable.Some of my friends joined us for a surprise birthday celebration that was wonderfully memorable!

 The best time of year is winter as the Caribbean sun can be brutal June – September.  But the advantage is that it is quite and costs are greatly reduced during ‘off season”

 The resort is a great place to be seen with beautiful people, luxury yachts and wonderful weather December - April!
