Punta Cana Travel Forum

Hi all!

I want to go away with a bunch of girlfriends this December and we have our sights set on Punta Cana! A few of us have been in the past and know the beach and day activities are great but don't really know whats available as far as nightlife!

I came across some nightclub info...Webster Hall, Mangu....but was wondering if anyone else hand some more info or websites for these places??

Also has anyone been to the Palma Real Shopping Plaza? I really want to do somethings off the resort...but dont necessarily want to spend the whole day on a tour. Wouldn't mind checking out things in the area...so any Punta Cana experts please give me your insight?

Hello! Punta Cana has always been my favorite travel destination. It's just such a great place to relax. I agree that it's fun to get out of the resorts and see what else the location has to offer. I just got back a few weeks ago and i miss it already! But as for nightlife, I didn't see much out there. There was talk about some new hot spots but I couldn't find any.

Don't know too much about this destination but found some of the websites for the places you mentioned...maybe it will help!

www.websterhallpc.com

www.palmarealshoppingvillage.com

Also the official tourism site is www.godominicanrepublic.com

Looks like you girls will be able to find lots to keep you busy!

hope this helped...

For your girlfriends and yourself there is a lot of places to go at night, everything will depends on how far away from Bavaro beach area are you going to as the center is known as Bavaro beach in Punta Cana...here some of the hottest spots you should go to :
