Any good but inexpensive all-inclusives in the dominican republic?
I'm already planning our one-year anniversay trip and assuming I'm not preggers I want to go away to somewhere warm. I'd love to go back to Sandals in St. lucia but I think it may be out of our price range. My dad says the dominican republic is a bit cheaper. Anyone ever gone?
Just as a point of reference....Our sandals trip was around $6500 for 10 days including air.

We are going to Secrets Excellence Punta Cana, Dominical Republic for 5 days 4 nights for our Honeymoon and it is costing us $2700 we went for the most expensive room though.
This is an all inclusive

We're going there too, Jessica! Only we'll be there in March. I believe the entire package including airfare cost around $2500 or so...
ETA: We'll be gone 6 days 5 nights (I think) and we chose this over Sandals St. Lucia for exactly the same reason (i.e., cost). Also, I've heard the least expensive Sandals in St. Lucia is a bit rundown these days...

we stayed at Melia Caribe for $1900 for the both of us, and got back a $100 America Express gift card for putting it on the card. It is in Punta Cana. It is one of the most beautiful resorts I have been to. It is very big, and really not too much to do, but it was nice

I heard excellent things about Sectrets Excellence on this board and from co-workers.
I have stayed at the Iberostars and recommend them. I really like this chain. In particular the Iberostar Bavarro. They are reasonable and nice.

Thanks for the ideas! I'll have to check them out.

We stayed at the Coral Costal Caribe in Santo Domingo, and it was beautiful. We had 7 days six nights, all inclusive plus airfare for $1400 total...I still cannot believe that deal I booked through American Airlines vacations, and since I booked really early we got a discount. The Coral resorts are a chain, all are really nice and all inclusive. The Caribe also had a casino, which we went to every night. Gambling w. pesos is such fun, the exchange rate is 16:1. I thought I hit the jackpot and had about $5 american dollars

I think the Dominican Republic is a secret Caribbean getaway. The sun and surf there is unbelievable and you can't beat the hotel prices. I recommend going to Punta Cana. DR has been a popular spot for European tourists in the past. I think you will enjoy it.

We are also doing Secrets in March...7 nights, basic room and everything cost us $3538, including insurance on the trip. We used Liberty travel. It includes EVERYTHING!
