Anyone been to Dominican Republic Punta Cana before? Thinking about heading over in Mid September for a week all inclusive etc. Is there plenty to do and has anyone ventured outside of the resorts to local towns etc? Any help would be appreciated Went in early September last year. Which hotel you going to? Hotels are excellent and beaches are fantastic also, crystal water, can swim out quite a way and walk along the beach for miles. Not a lot to do outside of the hotel though unfortunately. Very poor area of the caribbean, a lot of the "towns" are run down and the roads aren't great to travel on (we were on a coach and were going through pot holes a good 8-10 inches deep and 6 foot wide). If you want to go somewhere that you can travel to towns etc then I'd say go to Mexico over Dom Rep. I went there the year before for the same amount of money and found the food to be better and there was more to do outside of the hotels. Beaches were still great, people very friendly and climate is still the same. |

Scored a last minute all inclusive to Hurghada, Egypt. Thread TL;DR so sorry if folk have already mentioned it, but anyone else been? Stayed down the road in El Gouna, very windy but I went for kitesurfing so was perfect. Also hot as hell in April, tops 45c+ over summer. Apparently Hurghada night life is pretty good, cheap to eat out, plenty of watersports if you don't want to sit & fry all day. Take your life in your hands and use the tok tok taxi guys to get around |
