Headed down there for a few weeks this coming Xmas. Dreams palm beach resort in punta canta. Wondering if there is a go fast scene down there??

We were down there last may. Not that I saw. Most boats are fishing boats with outboards, some catamarans, etc. They ski from a 24ft tiller steered outboard skiff, so no go fast going on ....

First time down there, looks like a pretty relaxing atmosphere. Thanks for the info..

I was down there 2 years ago at the same place you are going. Very nice clean place. Food was very good back then.

me and the wife did a cruise there about 2yrs ago.we went to the island of samanna.did a bus tour of the island and the people,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it was a real eye opeaner.the country was nice,but very poor.most people that go there stay at resorts,and for good reason,but if you get a chance,go out in the general public and look around.you will see what i mean.

Just got back from there in February, had an awesome time. We went to Las Tarenas a nice little coast town for a few days, then explored Santo Domingo for a few days in the Colonial District.

BC is right, definitely a very poor country. But it is very beautiful, nice people, generally a great place to explore outside of the resort.

But yeah, as far as boats go...nothing fast for damn sure.

I agree. We vacationed in Punta Cana for two weeks in 4/2009. Nothing go fast to report.

Captain Cook's in Punta Cana is a great oceanfront fresh catch seafood resturaunt to check out. We had awesome fresh catch Lobster.
