Dominican Republic

2nd vacation of the year: Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Cool Slideshows


This time, I went with my sister, my brother, my girlfriend, and my parents.......
We stayed at Allegro....another all-inclusive resort part of the family's timeshares. Basically, the difference between this resort and the one we stayed at in our first vacation of the year, which is Occidental, is that the entertainers are part of the daily shows so their daily routine involves more than just daily activities. The resort is bigger because it has more rooms. It has a really nice pool because of the way it is shaped and design. It includes a swim up bar and a restaurant located right in the middle of the pool.

The resort wasn't as clean as occidental but it was definitely more of a teenage vacation spot. The excursion that we did was a catamaran ride. It was pretty cool because a catamaran is a fast boat with a net right in the front of it and there you can lay out and see while the boat is moving. The whole trip involved a stop over on a private island just inclusive for visitors and there we stayed for a couple of hours and had an exotic lunch.
The most exciting part of the resort is that the resort houses one of the best clubs in Dominican Republic called Mangu. It's like a 5 minute walk from our rooms and ofcourse being part of the resort, the cover charge is free and so were the drinks. No matter what day we went, people from other resorts and locals visited the club because of the variety of music it plays to attract the crowd.

The food was good also. There were many restaurants in the resort which includes a steak house, mexican, a grand buffet, buffet by the beach, oriental and pizzeria( definitely much more better than occidental's choices). They also have other amenities such as spa, gym and a hair salon.

The beach wasn't bad either. Besides its blue water and white sands, they provided hammocks for better relaxing.

The daily shows here were better because it was more organized and it was more entertaining and the entertainers interacted more with the guests. This resort is definitely a cool place to go to with anybody because you will have a good time. I can really say that when I got back home that I was all partied out.
