Dominican Republic Resort Reviews

If you're looking for a great Dominican Republic resort, you're absolutely going to find one! There are so many great resorts in the Dominican Republic but it is also a location that has some real misses.

The Dominican Republic was not such a long time ago thought of as a bit of a resorts backwater with not too many resorts of outstanding quality. Wow has a lot changed as cow paddocks and sugar plantation make way for the nation's new pride and joy - their quality mega resorts and all inclusive resorts. Here you'll find the best resorts by type.

We've listed the best family, teen, adult only, golf, spa, and romantic resorts.

The Dominican Republic is full of history and was the original entryway to the new world for the Spanish. But if you are staying at a luxury or an all inclusive resort you are likely not going to encounter much of that history except for the many tours that the resorts can organised. Many of the new resort developments are in “new” areas  like Punta Cana where there are not too many sizable townships to speak of. Apart from the endless sunshine there are opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the beaches, snorkel in colorful marine environments and visit many and varied attractions.
