Punta Cana OVERVIEW

As a glamorous and exclusive destination on the east coast of the Dominican Republic, Punta Cana is the place for sun worshippers, golf lovers, water sport adrenaline junkies and those who appreciate the finer things in life. In many ways, it's an idyllic playground for the elite, and when you go there, that's just how you'll feel. If celebrity-spotting at the local golf courses and watering holes (and golf course holes on the water) isn't your thing, then you've got kiteboarding, ecological parks for hiking and birdwatching, Segway tours, yachting and swimming with dolphins. And if that isn't enough, you can explore the dozens of miles of UNESCO-recognized white sandy beaches and sparkling coral reefs. World-class hotels like Iberostar, Occidental, Westin and Leading Hotels of the World's Tortuga Bay and Paradisus Palma Real Resort are at your disposal, as are the privately owned international airport (one of the first of its kind) and dozens of restaurants dishing up delectable ceviches ...See More and conch salads in the easy-breezy, always 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit weather. Less than 40 inches of rain per year will get in between you and your tropical fantasies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urge travelers to use extreme caution before drinking the water here so be sure to brush your teeth with the bottled water provided in your room--in a place like this, you'll probably want to brush your teeth with Evian anyway.
