The Dominican Republic
One of the world’s top all inclusive holiday destinations, the Dominican Republic is located on the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean Sea. Taking up about two thirds of the island the Dominican Republic combines a heady mix of relaxed beach life and Latin party spirit, all experienced among swaying palm trees on fine, white sandy beaches. The weather in the Dominican Republic is of course wonderful, being hot and tropical all year round, beware of the two rainy seasons though and also be mindful during the hurricane season (June to November). The hotels on the Dominican republic are first class, offering everything needed for a great holiday. Dominican Republic Map.
