Answer 1

I don't know if you refer to north and south but ither side have warm water and white sand beutiful place to go all depend where you go if you go south go to la Romana if you go north Puerto plata o samana.

Answer 2

the north side is the Atlantic which goes round to the east,that then becomes the caribbean.The sea is nice all the way around but if its true caribbean sea you want go to the south.it is warm all the way around.The north part has more to do than the south thou!

Answer 3

We spent 10 days in a resort in Punta Cana, which is on the Atlantic side and one of the best vacation areas in the country. Both the water and the weather were beautiful.

Dominican is one of the top five destinations in the Caribbean for good reason. The landscape, atmosphere and beaches are all among the best of what you can find in the Caribbean. Resorts are plentiful and filled with things to do.

You do need to be aware that hygiene can be a problem -- you simply avoid drinking their water and use bottled water instead -- but we didn't have a problem. In fact, the only time we have ever gotten sick was in Cancun, so the problem exists in other Caribbean destinations.

Out of eight trips to the Caribbean, DR is still our favorite. If you have never been to the Caribbean before and simply want to relax, it's hard to go wrong with an all-inclusive resort in Dominican Republic.

See the guide below for more about it.

Answer 4

You have two main spots for hollidays, Punta Cana but this is only a hotel strip with not much outside. On the other side you will find Puerto Plata with nice big beaches and a lot to do outside. This last one is on the Atlantic ocean. Your choice...

Answer 5

Many islands in the Caribbean share this split - Atlantic rough and Caribbean smooth sea. There are a few concerns about going there. It has had serious food hygiene problems in the past which I do not know if they have been resolved. Also Haiti which is one part of the island has abject poverty and food price riots currently.

My advice is go to Barbados and maybe consider the Dominican in the future.

Answer 6

the really good beaches are punta cana, bavaro, or samana....any is great!
