The Dominican Republic is a colorful tapestry of Spanish, French, Haitian, and African influences woven by a rich and storied history. Christopher Columbus described this lush land as "a beautiful island paradise with high forested mountains and large river valleys". This statement is still as true today as it was in 1492.

Boasting the comforts of sun, sea, and sand, the Dominican Republic offers a capitivating, exciting, and unique cultural experience. It's spirit and charm are captured in its music, food, and national pastimes. Known for its professional winter baseball, handcrafted cigars, and annual music festivals, the culture of the Dominican Republic is never stodgy, or boring. It's always an artful and colorful expression of life. Even the museums and archeological sites are vibrant, bringing the daring history of the Dominican Republic alive with antique treasures, dazzling jewels, and the cavernous time capsules left to us by a long lost culture. In the Dominican Republic, culture really means adventure.

Diverse terrain and extraordinary natural beauty is a hallmark of the Dominican Republic's six regions. Eager to experience the dazzling landscaptes, exotic cuisine, and a remarkable variety of arts and entertainment options, we have decided to focus our time on the East Coast of the island in beautiful Punta Cana. The East Coast region contains the most popular and fastest growing tourist area in the country. One look at the surroundings, and there is no question why, as our resort is surrounded by a beautiful palm grove, bordering a Caribbean beach of fine white sand.

We can't tell you how excited we are for this honeymoon. We've included some of the activities and experiences we'll be enjoying just below. Thank you so much for your gift.
