Question

My best friend and I are going to punta cana, dominican republic, is this a fun place to go with a friend?

Answer 1

trust me u and ur friends will love it there

Answer 2

I hope so because I am going there on the 29th for my honeymoon! We are staying at the Dreams resort. From what I gather the city is pretty much secluded when you get to the resort area so it is not like cancun or florida where you have shops and etc all over the place.

Answer 3

tell you friend you changed ur mind about the trip and take me! =) that place is amazing! I am so jealous...

Answer 4

You will love it.  the excursions are very reasonably priced.  The people are so nice.  There is a lot of poverty there.  If you visit a school it is fun to bring the kids pencils and crayons.  We stopped at a school on our ATV excursion.  It was a worl away from the schools in the US.  We loved the ATV's

Answer 5

I stayed at the Punta Cana Grand (all-inclusive). The resorts are secluded and gated. I took one day trip to go on dune buggies. This was awesome but the roads are narrow and never straight so it takes a while to get to places. This is a common theme in the caribbean and that's ok. easy going is the way it is. My resort had a nightclub in it and many day trips available. it depends what you consider fun and what you guys want to do. It was my only trip to the Dominican republic and I would def. go back. The day trip allowed me to see what it was like in the small villages and while on the dune buggies we got to see a cave as well as race around on a beach. while passing through a village many of the kids were friendly and high fiving us. all in all if you stay at an all inclusive, you may not see the parts of the Dominican that really make it what it is. many shops were in a little bizarre type area outside our resort and we visited them a few times. never once felt unsafe and every one is so friendly. enjoy your trip if you go and do some more research, guide books work if you have not tried them already.

Answer 6

My friends went there and they had a really good time. A few things that they said:

That country is in the middle of some kind of political turmoil. There is a LOT of poverty and the thing that will be upsetting is the kids that you will see asking for money. Be aware of them and try to make sure you're not walking around alone late at night looking "expensive"

Mallaria is a bit of a problem and there was a malaria outbreak at a hotel near my friends and they were all under "lockdown" for a couple days.

Enjoy yourself, and have a really great time! Just be careful when you walk around and try not to carry too much money on you!

Answer 7

Is very fun. Actually for me it's funner, cause you'll have the fun with friend and get to know new people too... That's one of the best things there...

Everyone is so relaxed!

Answer 11

Yes it is a fun place to go. Have fun in one of the most beautiful islands of the Caribbean.

Answer 12

The famous "Malaria outbreak" in previous answer is a lie, it was simply a british tourist who had the flew (serious one) and contaminated e few other guests.

Yes you gonna have a good time, the beach is splendid and the drinks are free... Don't forget to go outside and take the excursion to Isala Saona (it's a must!)

Enjoy your time with your friend...
