Escape the winter blues with a fabulous break to the Dominican Republic. We stay in the popular Caribbean region of Punta Cana at the foot of the resort of Bavaro Beach, boasting arguably one of the best beaches. We even have a private full day tour of tropical paradise Isla Saona included. Join us as we relax and unwind in the five-star beachfront all-inclusive adults-only Punta Cana Princess Hotel for a sun-soaked escape; taking advantage of the all-inclusive hotel package!
Extras
As soon as we step onto the beach, we can see why it is known as one of the best in the world. With unspoilt white sand, coconut trees and mangroves, it truly is paradise. Palm-thatched umbrellas and sun loungers are dotted around for soaking up some Caribbean sun. For those who fancy a little adventure, non-motorised water sports such as snorkelling are available. The most important decision we will have to make each day will be if we wish to spend the day on the beach or relaxing by the swimming pool.
All-inclusive 24/7.
Tempting as it may be to laze by the pool (or on the beach), why not get out and about to discover what else the island has to offer. A private tour of Saona Island is included, where we’ll take a catamaran cruise to this tropical paradise island and enjoy the chance to swim with starfish in the turquoise blue waters.
If you prefer local shopping, the hotel has a taxi rank within the grounds and there is a choice of shopping malls both within 30 minutes of the hotel.

Casual, cotton, lightweight daytime wear is the order of the day and of course swimwear! Comfortable shoes are a must for sightseeing. Smart casual clothes will be ideal for the evening, with the emphasis throughout being informal but with no shorts or vests in the restaurants in the evenings.
The Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual.
We suggest a group collection at the end of your holiday to cover drivers, guides, porters and hotel staff (including restaurant, kitchen and reception staff) of approximately £30.00 for your stay, (or the equivalent amount in local currency). Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of bar staff and housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (the rounding up of the drinks bill and a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated).
As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, restaurants expect a 10% (do check that service has not already been added to your bill). For taxis 10% the metered fare.
