Staying longer?
Add one of these full-day trips:
- Saona Island catamaran day trip. Sail to a palm-fringed island in a national park, stop at the natural pool with starfish, and have lunch on the beach.
- Countryside day: cacao, coffee and cigar farms. Visit family farms inland, make your own chocolate, taste coffee and see cigars rolled by hand.
- Santo Domingo colonial zone day trip. Walk the oldest European city in the Americas, with its cathedral, fortress and cobbled streets.
Budget-friendly bites
- Huracán Café, Los Corales beach, Bávaro. Barefoot beach bar with burgers, fish tacos and sunset drinks.
- Kat's Corner, Los Corales, Bávaro. Friendly spot for a big breakfast or a casual dinner away from the buffet.
- Onno's, El Cortecito, Bávaro. Beachfront bar and grill that turns into a party spot at night.
Getting around
- Most guests stay inside their resort. Pre-book airport transfers, because taxis at the airport are expensive.
- Taxis are fixed-price by zone and not metered. Ask the resort desk for the rate before you get in.
- Bávaro, Cap Cana and Uvero Alto are far apart. A wedding-day shuttle saves a lot of taxi fares.
