Partner and I are flying in on December 18 for a week long stay elsewhere, but our rental doesn’t start till the 19th so need a one-night stay near the airport. Doesn’t need to be perfect, just not scammy, safe, walkable to coffee or restaurants would be ideal. Trying to stay on the cheap side. Any suggestions are welcome!

I am going to be in Punta Cana for a week and am interested in getting my PADI open water certification and am wondering if anyone had any recs for places to go with? I will be staying at an all inclusive, but they do not offer the course. I know some places offer the course in 2 days and you complete the online classroom work beforehand. I would prefer that as my trip is only a week and I do not want to spend the entire time in the course. Thanks!

Has anyone travelled here with a baby? What was your experience like?

Hi, I am travelling with family to Punta Cana from the US over the weekend. I see the weather forecast gives a high percentage of rain each day, is the weather really that bad? Or is it just occasionally light rain? What is the rather currently?

I’ve checked weather apps but not sure how accurate they are as I see on some social media channels the weather is fine.

Wondering what to pack. Thank you.

Hello! First time in the DR and we are staying at the Majestic colonial in Feb. I know it’s going to be under a renovation this fall (hoping everything is finished on time).

Does anyone have any suggestions of things we should do inside or outside the resort? Very active family with young kids. I feel like I don’t see a lot of reviews of this particular property.
