HM Question: Dominican Republic

Original post by adelz

There's a good chance we've narrowed down the HM to DR - but not sure between Puerto Plata and Punta Cana which might be better. We're honestly just looking to enjoy the beach, do a bunch of activities (that are not a crazy amount), and eat drink and be married

Anyone been to either and can provide some feedback?

I wouldn't follow what the forecast says. It usually rains in the morning and by the afternoon its all clear. I've been there through out the whole year and never had a problem.



THANK YOU for that! That's what I've been hearing, nice to hear it from someone that's been there :D

Hi I have been to both Punta Cana and Puerto Plata ...personally it all depends what scene you want. Punta Cana definitely has a younger/spring break feel no matter what time of year./ Personally I like Puerto Plata ALOT more...def still upbeat both places has tons of activities. BUt we went more into the city by ourselves in Puerto Plata as do all the tourists...

Again, this is just my opinion.



Thanks for this!!!

I went to Punta Cana and stayed at The Excellence. It was great and I would definitely recommend the resort.

I don't know if Punta Cana will work :( Just read about the weather:

The temperatures in this month combined with the excessive humidity make May one of the hottest months all around. The temperatures go from 31ºC (87ºF) in the peak time of the day to the lowest late in the night 23ºC (73ºF). This is the month with the greatest rainfall in this area with an average of 7 inches of rain. If you plan to travel to Punta Cana during May better bring an umbrella because you will probably need it.

Definately don't want rainfall during honeymoon!



dominican too!!! punta cana is great and you must stay at EXCELLENCE ...best place....rain in the DR is usually a quick rain storm and then the sun is out....and ANY time you go to DR it will be HOT!
