All shades of turquoise of the Caribbean Sea, reminiscent of molten marmalade, snow-white sand bordered by emerald greens of palm trees, merengue rhythms that make you move in time with the single pulse of the island - all this is the hot and vibrant Dominican Republic. More and more travelers are striving to find themselves on the paradise island of Haiti and enjoy their holidays in the Dominican Republic with children, for whom even exotic countries are now close and accessible.
For or Against?
How much is a vacation in the Dominican Republic with children different from trips to other resorts and is it worth flying to a distant paradise island? Let's assess the possible benefits and risks:
- A long twelve-hour flight can tire even an adult tourist, but the flight attendants on such flights will do everything so that the kids do not get bored. Drawing contests and toys, gifts and special meals on board - and the flight goes unnoticed for young travelers and their parents.
- A sharp change in climate and time zones will require adaptation in a new place, but acclimatization will be much easier if you try to put your child to bed on arrival in the evening according to Dominican time, and in the first couple of days do not allow him to swim and sunbathe for too long.
- Prices for holidays in the Dominican Republic with children will not seem too humane compared to the usual close resorts, but a huge sea of impressions of a tropical paradise will smooth out the slight sadness of financial losses, especially since many family hotels allow kids to stay in them for free or make huge discounts for parents …
Preparing properly
Travel medical insurance and sun protection products with a high sun protection factor should become a must-have for anyone traveling to the Dominican Republic with children. But fins and masks do not have to be taken with you, because in local shops they are sold everywhere at the most pleasant prices.
Passwords, appearances, addresses
The most suitable resort for a vacation in the Dominican Republic with children is Punta Cana. It is located near the airport and tourists will be spared the long transfer to the hotel in addition to the long flight. Punta Cana hotels have an ideal entertainment system for children, animators work, playgrounds are open and special pools are provided.
In Boca Chica, along the entire beach strip, there is a very shallow sea, which allows parents not to worry about the kids frolicking in the water. The calm sea is also in the resort of Sosua, and therefore families with inexperienced swimmers will like to relax here.
