10 Tips Travel Punta Cana
to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, there are important decisions you
have to make and information you need to know, all of which will mark the
final result of your trip.
Hotels, visa, what to do in Punta Cana, what to see, what to carry in your
suitcase, excursions and many other questions are those that come to mind
before each new trip, and in this article, you will find relevant help to these
topics.
The first thing that should be said about Punta Cana is that it is one of those
destinations that do not have too many organizational complications, mainly,
because most travelers visiting Punta Cana just move from the big resorts
where you have the famous all-inclusive hotels that gives you access to
unlimited food and drink.
That is why we recommend you first search on your own, then look in the
search engines for flight and hotel offers, and finally, ask in the agency about
the hotels you have previously selected. In this way, you can compare the
different options and choose the most economically appropriate.
What hotel to choose in Punta Cana
The choice of hotel and room is probably the most important decision that
can make your trip to Punta Cana a true trip to paradise.
In Punta Cana, there are all kinds of all-inclusive hotels or without, adults-
only hotels, hotels to go with children, with better beaches, with a greater or
lesser amount of swimming pools, with water parks, with discos, even hotels
with casino and theaters
Just as you choose the resort, there is so much hotel offer that it is also
important to choose the type of room and the area of beaches in which it is
located.
Let's not forget that hotels have their private beaches, which is where you
will spend most of the time.
The resorts in Punta Cana have a huge variety of rooms, it's not like other
destinations where hotels have all their rooms the same.
That is why even when traveling with an agency, they will give you hotel
options to choose from with the corresponding prices for each type of room,
and if they do not offer it to you, ask for it.
The key is to keep in mind where you are since it is not the same to be in
Punta Cana in the area of Bavaro beach or the Marina of Cap Cana, which are
safe areas, that move around some neighborhoods of the capital, Santo
Domingo.
In addition, there are some coral reserves for lovers of marine life where you
can live the experience of snorkeling and diving. In the interior of the
country, there are several places where traditional villages are visited and
activities such as horse riding or visit beautiful caves inside the jungle.
When hiring excursions, you can do it right there in the hotels, or even on
the beach you find locals offering you all kinds of excursions.
Do I need a visa to travel to Punta Cana?
For most countries, it is not necessary to apply for any type of visa to travel
to Punta Cana. Of course, to enter the Dominican Republic it is necessary to
fill in two forms that deliver you on the plane during the journey to the
country.
They will ask you for information about your trip, with information such as
how many days you will be and where you are going to stay.
There are two forms, because one is delivered upon arrival in the country
and passed customs control, and the other is to be delivered before leaving
the Dominican Republic.
If you do not know where you have saved the return form, you can always fill
it out at the airport before going through customs, because they will ask you
at the first security check that you find after checking your luggage.
I recommend you take a pen by hand to fill in the information during the
flight, although if you don't carry it, you can always find someone to lend you
one during your flight.
As for the money that must be paid before entering the country, previously
US $ 10 was paid to enter the country, but since 2018 this payment is no
longer charged.
Simply deliver the passports and the form you fill out on the plane; they will
stamp your passport and you will enter the country.
Of course, you can also change when you arrive in the country, at the airport
or even at the hotels themselves; This is the most expensive option although
the most comfortable.
If you specifically want to change local currency while already in Punta Cana,
it is advisable to get the money from a local cashier (ATM), who usually apply
a better exchange, and depending on the bank, with minimum commissions.
