Fuhgeddaboudit Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Anyone has ever been to Santo Domingo before? Is it really worth it to pay $1500 all-inclusive for only 4 nights? I find that a rip-off, but I got asked to go and you wouldn't believe what time of the year it is.... maybe that's why it's so expensive. Anyone, worth it or really not?

Pete Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 That isn't a ripoff. DR airfare isn't cheap. When? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuhgeddaboudit Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 I just thought for 4 nights, not a rip-off, but it wasn't as good as other deals you might get.... It's the timing I guess that makes it more expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It really depends on the hotel. I know nothing about D.R., which is why I'm leery of going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuhgeddaboudit Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yeah, neither do I. I figured i'd ask here because I know people around here have been places before. Oh well, if they(maybe we) book, I'll let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Heaven Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thats not expensive at all considering its with airfare and the time of year. school's out, its xmas/new years week. I actually think thats kind of cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 What specific resort is being looked at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuhgeddaboudit Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Ummmm the first one on that link that Peetie posted. I don't think it's expensive but I prefer a 7 night at a better time. Can't 7 nights get as low as 1,300? Not during that time of the year obviously.

Parsley Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 You're looking at roughly $1500-$2000 per person for a solid all inclusive place/airfare in the D.R. 7 nights would cost closer to the $2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuhgeddaboudit Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yes, Dreams. But around that time (december) it would cost around $2000. If we went another time, it would cost cheaper would it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yes, Dreams. But around that time (december) it would cost around $2000. If we went another time, it would cost cheaper would it not? July-end of September is probably the cheapest time to go....HURRICANE SEASON! Most expensive is holiday seasons (Xmas, New Years, MLK Day, Presidents Day, Easter, Passover, Spring Break) Everything in between is a bit cheaper.

I am not really not that fond going around that holiday (post-christmas about - pre-new years) so I'm going to see what I can discuss with them.

Parsley Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 ]I always did my Caribbean trips in February or March, weather was most tranquil, and pre-hurricane season. It's also a downtime between major holidays and it gets you the hell away from the cold of NYC. It's not a place where you want to "cheap out" on prices for places to stay though....it rough country outside of the resorts. You get what you pay for, just remember that. With that said, the Dominican Republic (I stayed in Punta Cana) has the most beautiful beaches I've ever been too. 100% Paradise. http://s14.postimage.org/bmzyrpnc1/wow.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick release Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I did Breezes in Puta Cana, D.R. about 5 years ago and it was around $1200 total. THing about D.R. is though, don't expect to even step off of the resort unless you're going on some guided 4-wheel tour or something. Honestly I would never do it again for that reason, but if you dont care about that aspect of it and you just want the resort, then do it. And get laid. When I went there were mostly British people and a lot of teenagers. Girls are incredibly easy at those resorts so don't come back to the states without a story or two.. Also, the family i went with traveled a LOT and spent a lot of time at all inclusive resorts everywhere. They weren't happy with Breezes in Puta Cana specifically. I would agree that the food sucked tip, but there was a swim up bar so I was happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
