Matt and I recently went on a family trip to the Dominican Republic. I was worried about spending two weeks straight with my family but I was willing to take the risk. Surprisingly, everything turned out well. We had our few squabbles but all in all it was good.
We stayed at an awesome resort in Punta Cana called Barcelo. It was the nicest resort I have ever stayed at. It had pools for all the kids and a beautiful white sand beach. The resort was all inclusive. They offered wind surfing, paddle boats, snorkeling, and food for free. Usually, when you hear all inclusive it means just food, but this resort offered so much.
Matt and I went scuba diving but we were disappointed. The visibility was so bad we could not see a foot in front of us.
After the resort Matt and I went to stay with my sister in-laws family in La Vega. We wanted to get the real Dominican experience. It was disappointing. We rented a car we did not really get to use and spent way too much money on food we did not eat. We thought we were going to experience the country but we ended up just sitting around all day. In the end it was a waste of our money to stay the few extra days.
The bonus to staying was interacting with Rosy's family. They were awesome and so accommodating. They made us feel so comfortable.
If I had to do it again I would probably not go back to the DR. It was a great experience but not what I expected.
