Resorts in the Dominican Republic

Unlike the resorts on smaller Caribbean islands, here you will find the grand resorts which comprise everything from hotels to bars, clubs, pools, casinos and many other recreational activities. Many resorts offer all inclusive rates and you will definitely not get bored if you choose to spend your vacation in the Dominican Republic.

Tourist season

Being located right on the Hurricane Belt, Dominican Republic is often hit by severe tropical storms between June and November, which also marks part of the low season when many hotels choose to close down rather than face the storms with tourists in them. The ones that are open have low prices and special offers. The high season lasts between December and April with the highest prices around Christmas and New Year’s.
