Dominican Republic Southwestern Coast Road Trip
Dominican Republic is known for its more famous areas like Punta Cana, La Romana and Samana. But today I’ll tell you about the hidden gems along the south western coast. Here are 10 tips and cool things to do and see.
1. Visit the Dunas de Bani. This part of the Dominican Republic is considered a subtropical desert and this place certainly gives you those vibes. Cacti and sand everywhere. What makes this spot amazing is that there is this huge sand dune that overlooks the Caribbean Sea. It gives you the opportunity to have the best of two worlds, a beach and a desert. You have to pay a small entrence fee to get into the park but its well worth it. Theres even an observation deck so that you can get some shade a great view before you make your trek out there.
2. While in Bani you need to try the mangos. These mangos are legendary and for godo reason. You can get them anywhere in the region, just pull over on the side of the road and buy them off of a any vendor you see. You’re welcome.
3. Stop by San Rafael and take a dip. These waters a really choppy but mad fun so take a dip. There are a few restaurants there if you’re hungry. This is a local’s beach so it feels authentic.
4. If you want to go somewhere unique checkout Los Patos. This is where a cold river meets the beach. The water is so cold here so it will be nice and refreshing on a hot day. They also serve food here if you’re hungry so bring that appetite. The beach here was a little choppy when I went so take a dip but be careful.
5. Checkout the windmills all along the coast of Barahona and Pedernales. Sure windmills might not be something too special but they’re really pretty in the right context. When you see them along the coastline they really complement the environment. They’re a beautiful sight to see.
6. Checkout Bahia de las Aguilas. This would most likely be your destination if you’re driving along the southwest anyway. A virgin beach in the Caribbean is magical. For the most part you’ll be along on the beach. This is a 5 hour nonstop drive from Santo Domingo so many people simply don’t come here. But those who do aren’t disappointed. There aren’t any places where you can buy anything to eat or drink so you’ll have to bring anything that you want to consume. Buy a disposable cooler and fill it with rum, water, beer and food.
7. Make sometimes you can go over an hour without seeing a gas station so make sure that you’re always at about 1/2 a tank so that you aren’t left stranded.
8. Also make sure to have a least 5,000 pesos ($100) dollars in cash on you at all times for places that don’t take cards. Some gas stations and rest stops only take cash.
9. Do not drive at night, not because of violence but because its just really dangerous. At night the roads are dangerous because there aren’t many lights, the roads are whinny and livestock can come out of nowhere. So please save the driving for day light. Plan your trip accordingly and make sure you schedule things correctly. The best thing to do is to break this trip up into a two day drive to make sure you’re not rushed.
10. Here is an honorable mention: Visit el Polo. Some crazy shit happens here. This is what is a called a magnetic pole, what you do is pull up at the bottom of the hill and put your car in neutral and watch it get pull up the hill via the hill’s magnetic force. It’s insane! Actually its just an optical illusion but its still a cool thing to see.
There are a ton more cool things to see along the southeast but this is all I personally had time for. If i missed something that you liked please put it in the comment section so that I can check it out the next time I’m there. Thanks for watching, see you next time.
Occidental Punta Cana 2019 Dominican Republic
Occidental Punta Cana
Punta Cana/Playa Bávaro
A marvellous holiday destination where you can enjoy yourself and relax at the same time
Occidental Punta Cana***** Located on one of the most spectacular beaches in the Dominican Republic, Playa El Cortesito, making this hotel a true tropical paradise. Recently renovated to create a unique experience, beyond all your expectations.
The Occidental Punta Cana offers a wide variety of food and beverage choices within the all inclusive programme – 11 restaurants, 7 of which are à la carte, and 10 bars in strategically located areas where you can enjoy exquisite tropical drinks, all with our renowned exceptional service.
Enjoy all the action of water activities such as windsurfing, water polo, diving, as well as sports activities in the facilities of the hotel under the tropical sunshine. The nights are magical in this part of the Caribbean, with our Occidental-style shows every night, featuring live music and a large cast of professionals who will make your nights totally fun. We are also home to the renowned Mangú Night Club.
At the Occidental Punta Cana you can find everything you have ever dreamed of in one place; in addition, it houses the exclusive Hotel Royal Level, which offers a luxurious experience and total privacy for an unforgettable holiday.
Occidental Punta Cana is a three-and-a-half-pearl all-inclusive resort with a gorgeous setting along Bavaro Beach. Its 860 simple, but modern, rooms feature air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and rainfall showers. Unfortunately, there's no beach service (or free Wi-Fi) unless you're a Royal Level guest. Given the property's sprawling size, amenities are predictably numerous. Three freshwater pools have abundant poolside seating, while the zero-entry pool features ocean views. Occidental’s seven sit-down restaurants and four quick-bite eateries offer cuisines ranging from Asian to Italian. They get mixed reviews and reservations are required at some; drinks are also underwhelming according to previous guests. Other amenities include a spa, kids' club, gym, and tennis. For something even better for kids, check out Memories Splash Punta Cana, which has a water park, but isn't on the beach.
Swimming pools and outdoors
The Occidental Punta Cana is surrounded by a natural environment that combines the relaxation and entertainment that is so characteristic of the Dominican Republic.
The hotel has 3 swimming pools designed to offer the best rest and to provide the best drinks service while you sunbathe or enjoy a refreshing dip.
The resort has direct access to an extensive, fine white sandy beach, the perfect place to enjoy a beautiful sunset or practise water sports. The crystal-clear waters will tempt you to have a dip and discover all the charms of this spectacular spot located on one of the world’s best beaches: Playa El Cortecito.
Occidental Punta Cana was originally constructed in 2001 but recently completed a renovation in late 2016. Today, the whitewashed two- and three-story structures are surrounded by lawns, lush hedges, and tall palm trees. Interiors are simple and unmemorable, starting with the large lobby, where velvet couches sit next to live-edge tables atop marble floors. Elsewhere, while the style is modern, some spots are already starting to look a little worn (the spa, in particular, is a bit tired). Despite these stylistic shortcomings, the resort's relatively low rates and beachfront setting do keep it busy. While we wouldn’t call Occidental Punta Cana a party resort, the music bumps and booze flows freely around ambling, main pool, while entertainment takes place in the theater at night. Families are also frequent guests here, particularly during holidays, so prepare yourself for large packs of kids depending on the time of year. Most guests here are visiting from Russia and Canada. Keep in mind that the resort also operates as a timeshare community, and you should be expect sales pitches (even while relaxing on the beach).
Enjoy generous doses of radiant Dominican Republic sunshine at a beautiful all-inclusive property for an unbeatable price! Stay right at the heart of the upscale beach resort of Bavaro, a sophisticated retreat perfectly set amidst lush surroundings.
With a myriad of activities on offer, this resort truly is for everyone, so bring the family along or gather a bunch of friends together for an unforgettable getaway. Party to your heart's delight, dine around in several restaurants featuring cuisine from around the world, choose from the great range of water sports or relax at the onsite spa. The choices are endless at the Occidental Punta Cana!
