I have been to Puerta Plata 3 times and love the Dominican people.
I want to check out the Punta Cana area this time.
I am leaving from Saskatoon and want to go between mid Jan and mid Feb.
Last year we went to the Riu Merengue and loved everything about it. I am wondering if anyone has been to the Rius in Puerta Plata and then has gone to Punta Cana and found a really nice resort there- comparable to the riu.
I don't want to pay Iberostar prices.

We went to Sunscape the Beach and it is beautiful ,good people and food . i read about 200 dollars been stolen, dont think so ,the safes are electronic and you set the numbers ,there is no way to open them ,i left in it over 2000.00 dollars and jewels and nothing was taken .maybe she took the 200 to buy (somethings)and forgot about it, i will go back next year .

Punta Cana is a nicer area than Puerto Plata so you will pay more. Iberostar isn't one of the more expensive properties so I'm not sure you will be satisfied with the property you could maybe get wtihin your budget in Punta Cana.
Best of luck to you. Book in advance as they are running fewer flights this winter season. Already there are dates that are nearly sold out!

I went to punta cana for a week we stayed at sunscape the beach, it was very nice there except it was exceptionaly hot and humid. But we were there in July. So I do not know how it would be during the months you want to go. Just a word of warning my daughter had $200.00 stolen from her safe. When leaving the resort I asked for a copy of the report, only to find out that on a least 3 other occasions money was taken from the safe in her same room.

If you like the Dominican People so much, why are you going to an AI? The AI's are destroying hundreds of jobs all around the tourist areas. Why not just stay at a hotel, and go patronize some small businesses so that more people can support their families instead of huge companies that re-patriate the profits back to Europe?
