Dominican Republic

In early January, I stayed at the Sunscape Punta Cana Grand on the Eastern tip of the Dominican Republic. It is an all-inclusive resort, so once you're there, there is no need to spend a lot of money (unless you want to buy souveniers or other things). It was absolutely beautiful, and the resort has a great deal to offer its guests. The resort has two pools, tennis courts, shuffle board, ping pong, volleyball (in the pool and on the sand), basketball court, and billiards. They also offer non-motorized water sports including kayaking, windsurfing, sailing, snorkling, and an ocean trampoline. There are 6 bars, including one that you can swim up to and get drinks starting at 6 AM. At night, they play movies and perform live shows, and have a piano bar where you can go and request songs. The resort employees are hilarious and most of them are fluent in at least three or four languages. You can walk right onto the beach from the resort, and the locals have shops set up along the beach. When you start to walk towards the shops, they greet you and lead you into their store where they promise to give you a good price for whatever you wish. My family and I had a great time!
