If you are thinking of taking a holiday and are looking for an island paradise that was endorsed by Christopher Columbus, then the Dominican Republic is the place for you.

In recent years, the Dominican Republic has grown in popularity with overseas visitors and you can see why. The cultural heritage and fascinating history makes it a must see location for many. There are many holiday hot spots spread across the island.

Two main things are manufactured here, and you can see them both being made if you take a trip to the cigar factory or distillery. If golf is your game, you are also well catered for. The areas of forest are very exciting to explore and it is a shoppers paradise with the price of its goods.

A lot of areas in the Dominican Republic have been changed into resorts. On the Eastern side of the Island sits Punta Cana; this is one of the main tourist destinations.

All inclusive is an option growing quickly in popularity, and the only problem you will have in Punta Cana is deciding which one of the many to go to! The gorgeous beaches are second to none and its easy to see why so many rate Punta Cana as their favorite place for a vacation.

Another main destination is Puerto Plata, in the north of the Dominican Republic. This also has numerous resorts offering all inclusive vacations, and if you are a water sports enthusiast, the Playa Dorada beach is for you.

If you enjoy museums full of local history, the south Eastern resort of La Romana is for you. It doesn’t have as many resorts offering all excusive as the first two I mentioned, but is still worth a look. A trip over to Catalina Island is also a great day out.

A visit to the island’s capital city, Santo Domingo is also well worth a visit. The Cathedral here is rated as the new world’s oldest, and there is also a good array of places of where you can stay all inclusive. As this is also America’s oldest city, there is a great deal of history.
