Dominican Republic Vacation
I recently came back from a trip to an all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic. It was a completely amazing experience. My parents very graciously decided to take my two brothers and I along with them on their annual vacation to a sunny destination. We left our house February 10th and flew to the Dominican via Skyservice. In under five hours we went from the sub-zero temperatures here in Canada to a land of intense heat and humidity.
We stayed at the Costa Caribe Coral hotel, which was located in Juan Dolio. The rooms were pretty big and fully furnished. The resort had several different restaurants, a few bars, three pools and a nightclub. There were a lot of activities available, such as tennis, mini golf, kayaking and windsurfing. We spent most of our time at one of the pools, on the beach, in the Carribean Ocean or at one of the fine bars. At nights, we would meet up with our parents and their friends for dinner. After dinner we’d hit up the local casino and then go to the sports bar/nightclub to play pool and hang out. I won 3000 Dominican Pesos playing three card poker at the casino one night, which I spent on cheap Dominican rum and cigars. We made a few friends while we were down there. Strangely enough, they were all Canadians, and all were from Ontario, within an hour or two of each other.
Overall, it was a great trip. The food was good, the rum flowed freely and it was a week of relaxing and fun in the sun. I’ll post some more in a few days. Here’s a few pictures from the trip:
