I stayed at the Allegro twice once in 2005 & again in 2006 I loved it. This year we are staying next door at the Natura Park you can't beat the beaches the is a long stretch of secluded beach I think around 2 kms with no resorts. Can't wait I love Punta Cana.

Allegro Punta Cana, Here we come!
I just booked a vacation for August 7-14 today at the Allegro. I was just wondering if anyone has been there recently. This is my husbands first time leaving the states and I want him to have a wonderful time. Its always nerve racking going somewhere new, as you do not know what to expect. I was wondering if you could compare it to anywhere. I have been to Nassau, and a cruise to the Western Caribbean(St Thomas, St. Kitts, Grenada, Aruba) I was told it was closley compared to Mexico, but I've never been. Thanks for any info anyone may have. We are very excited! We are taking our children 8&5, the only thing they care about is flying. Thanks Again!
— Amanda, July 14, 2006

Toy Drive: Punta Cana
The closet 'major' urban center to both Punta Cana & Bavaro is the City of Higuey. There are several smaller comunities in the area; but Higuey is the Metropolitan Hub. The turism & information office in the city can give you plenty of information on which communities would be better served. Also, do not be afraid to ask the locals (the people working at the Hotel you will be staying); they would be more than happy to help and can sometimes be a better source of information. Hope this helps - <a href="mailto:techbubba@gmail.com">Romann</a>

We've been & would like to go again
Hi, my name is Rebecca & I live in Tn. My husband and I went to the Dominican Republic last summer. - We stayed at the Grand Occidental Flamenco in Punta Cana. The place was very nice. - We went to Cancun for our honeymoon & decided to venture out of the country again for a trip. The beach was absolutely beautiful - covered with palm trees and a constant sea breeze. We have several memories of the place and talk about it often. We were there for a week, and it was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Wish we could go back again!! - who knows, maybe we can?!
— Rebecca, May 18, 2004

I can't wait either, my boyfriend and I are going in September (6th) 2004, It will be my first holiday ever!!! other than a college trip to venice!! I hope it's really as good as you all say it is!!! Laura Loo from Lincolnshire.

The Dominican Republic is a beautiful country with wonderful people...I should know, because I was born there and lived there for five years thereafter. However, it is full of suffering that no one...not even the government has apid attention to. When you visit the Dominican Republic, although I myself do not live in these parts or in the country, check out the more poor areas and find out what life is like on the other side...behind the green hills lies a valley of shadow and hunger, a valley of poverty. When I do research over there in the summer, on behalf of Cornell University, I hope to explore these areas and learn more about why such a beautiful island is so oppressed by the people who run it. to all my fellow Dominicans...hang in there!
— Astrid, January 20, 2004

the best country to visit!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dominican Republic is one of the best country to visit. The people are very kind and respectful. Everyone should have the chance to take a nice vacation and explore the great things the Dominican Republic has for you

— travelgirl, February 26, 2003

I love seeing these beautiful spots of my parents country, for i've never been there before. I'm going there this summer, and so far it's the beautifulest place i've ever seen. But,i love to see these beautiful spots without people in the way. It's just that, i would love to looke at the spots(beaches, homes, hotels,mountains)with nothing in the way of it cause it messes up the pic and the urge to keep and look at the pics again. Then that lessens th liking.
— Ivonne, February 25, 2003

Beautiful pictures! Just got home from Punta Cana Jan. 29/03 and just had to check these out again! Feels like we're back there when I view these pics. Great weather, great time!
