Dominican Republic As a Caribbean Beach Vacation

Of course everybody dreams of that amazing beach vacation on a beautiful Caribbean island. You could just picture yourself drinking margaritas all day from sunrise to sunset while laying out on the pearly white sands and overlooking some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Unfortunately for most working class people, many Caribbean islands are particularly expensive for the average person to spend on a vacation. Islands such as Anguilla and St. Martin are notorious for how pricey their vacation rentals, hotels, car rentals, and restaurants are.
What a lot of people do is spend their vacation on Caribbean cruises. The cruises take them to many of the popular islands in the Caribbean. People get off on the ports and usually spend about 8 hours on the respective island. Its fun, but it really doesn't give you enough time to truly appreciate the culture and flavor of the country. Plus you don't get a chance to lay out and the beach and just relax.
There is one particular destination in the Caribbean that offers very affordable vacation rates. The Dominican Republic has more coastline with more beautiful beaches than Anguilla, St. Barts, St. Johns, St. Matin combined. It is truly the most underrated Caribbean destination. Whether you go North, East, or South you will run into hundreds of pristine coastline. The coast is covered with both small town and big city beach towns, which are perfect for all different kinds of travelers.
The beaches of the Dominican Republic are absolutely flawless. It may not get the same recognition as the beaches in Aruba or Barbados, but I can guarantee that you'll have hard time telling the difference. The clear aqua color of the water is like something out of a postcard.
The real perk to spending a vacation at the Dominican Republic is how incredibly affordable it is. You get the luxurious Caribbean beaches without the high priced costs. Everything all around is cheaper than other islands. You can find many beach front rentals for under $50 a day. Try finding that in Aruba. Food is ridiculously cheap. You can choose from classy restaurants or grab some food from the local vendors out on the street. You'll love the time to spend there so much, that you might think about buying your own vacation rentals as they are dirt cheap. You can find beachfront apartments for under $50,000. As a matter of fact, many ex-pats have permanently moved to the Dominican Republic for the slower lifestyle.

Dominican Republic Golf Resorts - Plan Your Vacation!

If you plan a stay at a Dominica golf resort, you will be living in true luxury. If you are serious about your game and plan to spend a lot of time on the course during your vacation, why not consider the option of living in a vacation golf club? Most of these places allow you to book your stay right on the internet, so its quite an easy process when you get down to it. However there is more to staying at a golf resort than just the golf course. You will find an amazing variety of equipment at your disposal when you stay at one of these places at Dominican Republic.
Golfing vacations can do your game a lot of good
If you are considering taking a Dominican golf vacation, there are a few options to choose from. Your main concern would be the courses themselves, so make sure the resort you select is near your favorite course if you have one. Most of the resorts will however, offer you more than just a close course option.
Many of the resorts will offer to set up your game schedule so you can tee off as soon as you arrive on location at the designated time. Many of the courses today are booked beforehand, so when you yourself have your tee off booked, it can save you a lot of time and frustration. Some resorts allow you to book your schedules as early as when you book the vacation.
Many of these resorts will of course offer you much more than just the game itself; there is a lot to see in Dominica. The spas that so many of the resorts boast off will give you ample time to relax after a tiring game of golf. Apart from this, the resorts can offer a fine dining experience and shopping facilities as well in some cases. Some of the vacation packages offer you a sight seeing tour apart from the golf experience, and that could be a great idea if someone not into the sport is to accompany you on the trip.
And then, if golf is your main vacation idea, then staying close to a course can save you some time and money in Dominica. When you plan your vacation and book a golfing package you will not only have booked your tee off times in advance, but you will probably save a lot on transport, and then you have the dining options available on premises, not to speak of the lodging arrangements.
A vacation to the Dominican Republic provides many holiday and relaxing options for one. But if golf is your main interest, do consider booking one of the many golf packages available, and you can book one right on the internet using a credit card.

Enjoy a Dominican Republic Family Vacation

It's that time of year again, the time of year when you have to decide where to take the annual summer vacation. If you're tired of going to the same theme parks, and national parks, why not consider something a little different, something like a Dominican Republic family vacation destination?
Even the name "Dominican Republic" brings strong images of an exotic location with beautiful beaches, clear water and an exciting time for the entire family. One thing that could be putting you off the idea, however idyllic the natural backdrop may seem, is the cost. What you need to consider is that a Dominican Republic family vacation may not actually cost you much more than a vacation at home where you need to budget for theme park entrance money for the entire family every day. If you're looking at spending over $100 just to get into a park, and then pay for food and souvenirs once you're inside, and you would do this over a number of days, then you start to see how your vacation at home budget starts to add up.
A Dominican Republic family vacation isn't going to have all the thrills and spills of the top roller coaster ride, nor is it going to be the first choice for fast food but what it is going to have is the potential of being a once-in-a-lifetime vacation that all of the family will look back on in years to come as a special time. The price of this doesn't have to break the bank either.
If you have older children who want to take part in various kinds of water sports, or perhaps you have a yearning for a bit of surfing or riding, then why not check out an all-inclusive Dominican Republic family vacation that will help you extend your budget that little bit further? Here not only will you know what your accommodation and food will cost, but you'll also know that whatever activities the children want to try out, they're already paid for!
Whether you choose to stay near Punta Cana on the Dominican Republic's east coast, or nearer the capital of Santo Domingo, you're sure to have a great time on this Caribbean island. Take a closer look at what a Dominican Republic family vacation can offer your family - you're bound to be impressed!

The Dominican Republic The Real Truth

A carribean paradise or a haven for corruption.
White sandy shore lines and beautiful reasonably priced all-inclusive beach resorts.The Dominican Republic can offer you the best vacation of your life.
If you plan to get outside of your hotel room a good tour guide can be worth the money.
For a retirement destination it can be risky because the economy is very unstable and the dollars yo yo has left American products at about 10 times the their prices in the United States.When the dollar started going up from about 19 to 1 to 57 to 1 you could see the merchants in the stores and supermarkets raising there prices every five minutes. But when the dollar dropped from 57 back to 27 to 1 the stores owners didn't notice and just sat in there offices and forgot to lower the prices. The Dominican people are close to starving to death because of the prices of food in the stores. Which also equates to extremely high prices for a person vacationing in dollars or living in dollars in the Dominican Republic. The tourist can get around the gastly prices by simply staying in an all-inclusive resourt. I had a stomach ache after eating my favorite peanut butter and fried banana sandwhich and went to buy a bottle of Pepto Bismol that cost $1.98 back home and I had to pay $15 dollars. That gives you an idea of how prices are set.
For a bachelor looking for a girlfriend or wife, there is no place better. The Dominican Republic has many available beautiful women. And I don't say beautiful lightly. The Dominican Republic holds the crown for Miss Universe. Amelia Vega was crowned Miss Universe in 2003. To avoid the wrong girl again the bachelor looking for that special girl needs that special tour guide who is also a professional matchmaker. These beautiful girls are readily available but you have to know how and where to look for them. Again you have to have the right professional guide for the job. See the resource box listed below.
Getting around . You will need the military version of the Humvee. I couldn't imagine any worse roads in the world. You can go into the most exquisite areas in the Dominican Republic where their wealthy live and you will find mud roads with deep holes in the roads. The wealthy have no respect for their communities. Trash , Dominicans aren't happy if they don't have some trash in the street. Even in the most exclusive areas.
The people. The nicest people in the world. They are kind, friendly and beautiful people. They seem to love Americans.They have an American raised and educated President. He was born in the Dominican Republic but raised and educated in New York.
Safety, In my opinion one of the safest countries on earth. Less violence against their own people and tourists than most places you might want to vacation or retire.
Theft issues. They will steal your shirt off your back if your not looking. However, very little armed robbery. Again it's a very safe country if you use common sense as to where you go.
Bank safety. The government seems to be more honorable than most countries. When A local banker stole 2.5 billion dollars from a local bank the government stood behind the bank and paid back the money, but in pesos. You wouldn't get your money back if a U.S or Western Country banker stole that much money.
Corruption. The banker stole 2.5 billion and walked away as free as a bird. He is flying around in his helicopters and cruising in one of his private yahts in the French Riviera right now. While the poor people can't even buy a green banana to eat. Why? That's the Dominican system. If your going to steal... steal big. You can walk away as free as a bird. Steal a Papaya and you could be gunned down in the street. Both events actually happened in the Dominican Republic. Moral of the story. Steal 2.5 billion dallars and you walk. Steal a papaya and you can be shot dead. You can buy your way out of anything in the Dominican Republic with 2.5 billion dollars. But if you don't have 100 pesos for the papaya you could be in trouble.
But let's look at the over all picture. Would I recommend the Dominican Republic for retirement or a vacation . You bet your life I would. I love it. I am a 56 year old bachelor and the young women think I am Elvis Presley come back to life. Admittedly I have a stong resemblence and my name is Elvis and I was born in Mississippi and I later lived in Menphis. However, if you bachelors don't know how and where to look for the nice girls you can and will go home empty handed without your Miss Universe. I couldn't possibly pick one wife out of all these beautiful women so I decicided to keep just keep them all for myself. But one day my vacation will come to an end and I will take my Miss Universe bride home to live in Graceland. I'm coming home. The King. Elvis King. Since I can't write songs any more I decided to write articles. Elvis.
