Hello,
I am considering getting married at the Iberostar Bavaro, Punta Cana. Just wondering if anyone has ever been there and has any thoughts on the resort... Also, if planning a wedding with guests, is it better to go directly through the resort, or through a travel agent? Thanks!! |

How do I get someone set up in advance to pick up and take us to our resort from the airport. Always before when we have traveled in the this area it has been set up for us. I'd like to have someone pick us up and return us to the airport so I don't have to worry about it prior to arriving. We need to go to Gran Paradise Bavaro By VRC Carretera Del Marao Arena Borda Bavaro. If you could help us I'd be very greatful. We arrive 5/5/08 at 3:24 PM and return 5/12/08 at 7:47 PM but would need to get to the airport about 2 hours earily so about 5:47 PM. I will just be my husband and I. Again if you can assist me, please let me know soon so I won't keep looking. Thank you. Kay

Ola Amigos y Amigas!
I was wondering if you could recommend me a destination a in the DR based on my critrias. I will be travelling alone for 2 week from May 31, 2008 and I am a real freak lover of all latin dances. Dont worry, I am not affraid to go out at night alone....I just need to know what is the best location & hotel for a single woman. (I do not want to be bored and at the same time I dont want a low class hotel. At least 4 * and ++. I wish to go dancing every night and during the day enjoy scuba diving & a beautiful beach. I have been to Sosua, it was nice but not amazing...Punta Cana I do not know and same for Puerto Plata but I think the beaches are not that nice. If I go to La Romana I heard that the beach are great but it is very quiet at night. So where do I go???? |

We're going to Costa Dorada in July, for two weeks. My 16 year old son has Addison's Disease - a very rare condition, not widely known or understood. He's steroid dependent. Heaven forbid he should become ill.... but if he does, we have to get him to a hospital for treatment immediately.
I'm in the process of having his medical alert card, doctors emergency plan and some other relevant ino translated into Spanish, but I'd like to find out: a)names and addresses of private as well as state hospitals in the vicinity b)whether doctors/nurses/staff at those hospitals are going to speak/understand English Chrissie |

My friend and I have planned to go to Santo Domingo from March 20-23, and she is bailing on me. I still want to go, but concerned about traveling to DR alone. Is it safe and is it fun? I would really like to see all the historical places as well as the night life, but a bit concerned about wondering around the city by myself.
Thanks a lot! |

Does it make sense to rent a car there? Me and my friend are going for 4 days and want to maximize our experience. We are staying at a small hotel in Santo Domingo city, but also want to hit up the beach at Punta Cana and see other parts of the island.
Thanks a lot |

We are going back to Punta Cana for a second time. The first time we bought Cigars from a vendor who came to our resort. Is it safe to buy Cigars from these people who sell them when the resort has a vendor night?

| Cayo Levantado | Posted: Tue February 5, 2008 10:30 PM UTC
Hello, I'm coming to Cayo Levantado by Cruise ship around Christmas time I'm wondering if there is a schedule for this boat. I'm looking for something to see and do for the day with my family and 2 nephews ages 8 and 13. Also, are there any places to go to where the locals go? I speak Spanish and like to see what a town is like through the eyes of a local vs tourist. Any companies that have a car with driver?
Thank you, David |
