Dominican Republic

These are Gold Crown AND All Inclusive: 30 Aug

This place is limited to the local town’s activites – few excursions – it’s mainly just a paradise with lots of scenery!

Of the Options below Paradise Punta Cana is really the best. It has more pools, more facilities and more space. Melia Caribe and Grand Flamenco are about the same, with GF just winning it with a massive pool area and evening activites.

New York Anyone?

Alternative Flights:

Anji has found:
American Airlines, via New York (yeah I know… )
£340 ish – but no taxes so price might be the same

Stop Over:

The interesting thing is that it’s the same price if we take the connecting flight a week later, so another idea is to find a Gold Crown in New York and chill for a week, enjoying the city, shopping, eating, clubbing – then go Paradisus 5* for a week only!

Ok! £460 is the stopover total flight price – not bad at all.

Dual Resort – Try it all!

Stay at 2 Resorts on the same Holiday! 30 Aug

Ok so we are in Dominican, right? Why not stay at Melia Caribe Tropical for the first week and Paradisus for the second week?

Then we get the best of both choices, restaurants, beaches and services!

pricing:

£262.50 paradisus supplement
£185.50 melia supplement
£450 flight
£50 exchange split

= £950 – only £100 more pp (£200 per couple) to add variety and experience a whole other resort!
