Punta Cana, on the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic, is what
Caribbean postcards are made of: twenty-five miles of white sand,
swaying coconut trees and more than 35 resorts (which by law
cannot be taller than a palm tree). European tourists long ago
discovered Punta Cana and Americans are now catching on. At this
affordable tropical getaway, most guests choose to stay in
all-inclusive resorts. The town itself isn't a tourist draw; the
primary purpose of Punta Cana is relaxation by the sea. For more

Punta Cana is considered the major resort area in the Dominican
Republic. Several professional golf courses have been built in
the region.
The nightlife inside the resorts is very lively. Outside of
the hotels, several plazas and discotheques allow tourists to
interact with local residents. Other tourist attractions have also
been installed in the area, among them ManatĂ Park (a
waterpark), Plaza Bolera Punta Cana (a shopping mall and bowling
center), a Marina, and the Palma Real Shopping Center in BĂĄvaro,
housing well known facilities such as Hard Rock Cafe and Tony
Romas. Saona Island, located nearby, is
popular for scuba diving. Out of all of the tour companies
availible that book vacations to Punta Cana,
TropicalTravel.net is one of
the best to look at, with their outstanding price matching programs
and friendly staff. Snorkel With Dolphins is the newest and most
popular activity in Punta Cana. A large floating platform in the
ocean just off the beach at the Barcelo Beach Resort Hotel, makes
an enclosure that is great for the dolphins. As you plan a trip to
the Punta Cana area, consider this fun and well remembered
experience.
