Top 10 spring break destinations - Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic

A growing favorite amongst travelers in search of good-value package deals, the Dominican Republic has become a hugely popular spring break destination that vies with Cancun in affordability and atmosphere.



The second-largest country in the Caribbean (after Cuba), the Dominican has something for everyone seeking a little fun under the sun, from Vegas-style casinos, nightclubs, and all-inclusive resorts, to horseback riding, golf, surfing, diving, and hundreds of miles of white-sand beaches.

Punta Cana, on the island's eastern coast, is the island's top draw, with the Caribbean's longest stretch of sand, while Puerto Plata, in the northwest, is a solid secondary consideration. Both are prime party spots and are also great for late planners, with a broad range of reasonably priced hotels that make a beer-budget trip a snap.




Those with champagne tastes won't be disappointed either — there are more than a few swanky resorts and hotels to satisfy all desires.
