My husband and I are planning on going to Punta Cana this year - last year in May we went to El Cozumeleno in Cozumel - you have to go there - if its not this year, try to make it to Cozumel in your life time. It is so beautiful, and 100% safe - the local people are wonderful, the beaches are beautiful, alot of it is natural, with rocks and such, but that makes snorkeling so much better. In January we went to Playa De Carmen - and stayed at the Occidental Grand Xcaret, it was ok, dont get me wrong beautiful, and clean, but very American-ized. Mexico is great, if you love snorkeling and beaches with waves. Good Luck!! |

Punta Cana
any resort on the bavaro beach area,
Mexico has to many problems rightnow with drug war going on , its all over news, its huge problems there right now, not resorts but still your safety and vacation is an importance to you
we just got back from D Republic, no worrys there , just the people on the beach selling stuff can get to you after awhile,, i just left my music ipod on and acted like i cant hear them and they leave fast. I wanted to go back to Mexico but i didnt want to worry about their problems, you can go check it out in your travelers alert in your country , canada or usa where ever your from, it warns you not to go , and if you decide to go blah blah, we deciced not to go since a vaction is worry free, supose to be anyways.. Puerta Plata Dominican is fun yes, but their beach is not the nicest since its not on the Carriebean side , more atlantic side, but yes fun and stll nice, as for which is better for all inclusive, of course Mexcio would be for the fact that free trade in the food areas and alcohol areas, you would get very very close to home meals , thats the only difference, However Domincan has almost same foods but not as close to home meals as home like
your milk, cheese, meats,
Mexcio has your hamburgs, pasta, tacos, eggs, fruits, fries, pepsi, coke , juices taste same as home as it comes from where we get it, (excpet for the meats and fruits) they have their own
as for Dominican
thier meats are mostly chicken, fish, their own
and cheese is more like goats cheese * but good and more healthy tasting," fruits and veggies right from their area, eggs from their area
so your food will be good , as long as you go with a 4 star and your variety is same as Mexico but less americanized canadianized food, preferances.
You wont go hungry
i love the way dominican does their pasta
sauce
they have you pick the noodels of your choice
and they have you pick your ietms you want in your sauce and they hrow it all together in a frying pan with garlic oil and cook it in front of you for a bout 3 m inutes and its REAL good .. you got to try it if your pasta lover lol
so have fun and do look up what your govenorment says about Mexico , you will see its true,
after all you want to relax so do choose Domincan
and do bring dominican money from your bank is much cheaper
and some american ,
not much to buy there but you never know
also departure taxes 20 american each person going home
Have fun with a smile if you chose mexico go to sandos resort AWSOME there and GREAT food and service, stay on resort alwyas |
