Dominican Republic Romantic Beach Vacation


The Dominican Republic is gaining popularity as a romantic destination. We love it for the beaches (the southeast coast has some of the nicest in the Caribbean), new all-inclusive resorts, and safe vacations full of sun, warmth and good value for your budget.


In 2008, there are more Dominican vacation packages than ever to choose from, thanks to more and more couples planning not only getaways but Dominican Republic destination weddings and honeymoons.

This page will give you a brief look at a few romantic spots in the Dominican Republic, and an idea of some of the romantic package deals for Dominican Republic vacations.

The Best Time to Travel to the Dominican Republic: the “DR” gets warm weather (28 to 32 C) all year-round. Summer sees more rain (May can be quite wet) and the hurricane season runs June to the end of October.

So early December and the months from mid-January to April are perhaps the best time of the year to visit the Dominican Republic.

Dominican Republic Romantic Vacation Resorts

Couples looking to plan a romantic getaway in a Dominican Republic all-inclusive resort will probably want to consider two of the most romantic spots on the Dominican coast: Punta Cana and Puerto Plata.

Us at the Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro Pool


Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro - one of the newer resorts in Punta Cana. Couples will love it (like us above!) Large, spotless rooms w/ whirlpool tubs and king beds. 9 excellent restaurants, 3 large pools with swim-up bars, resort shuttle service, spa, wedding planner and more.

Excellence Punta Cana Resort & Spa – A very romantic adults-only Dominican Republic resort. Luxury rooms come with four post canopy beds and a private balcony. Resort has 7 restaurants, 5 bars and would appeal to both active couples as well as honeymooners who may want to just relax peacefully by the pool.

Iberostar Costa Dorada - One of the best Puerto Plata Resorts. Located on the beach of Costa Dorada, one of the most romantic places on the Dominican Republic North Coast. Resort has luxury ocean view suites, boutique shops and on-site wedding experts.
