The Dominican Republic is
a special place in the heart of the Caribbean, and is part of
the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Puerto
Rico). Occupying approximately two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola,
it’s slightly larger than Vermont and New Hampshire combined
with a population of over 8,000,000.
Geographically diverse, the topography of the island ranges
from rain forest to farmland, from mountains to desert. Which
means this tropical paradise offers something for everyone:
whether you’re looking for mountain adventures, windsurfing
in the Bay of Cabarete, jungle exploration or Caribbean snorkeling,
The Dominicans love Americans. Our countries enjoy close ties,
with over 1 million Dominicans living in the U.S. You’ll
be welcomed with friendly, open arms, which may explain why
Dominican Republic travel has overtaken Jamaica as the number
one destination for Americans visiting the Caribbean.
The Dominican Republic is stable politically, with a representative
government. It has enjoyed a GNP growth rate amongst the highest
in the Western Hemisphere and the US dollar still goes a long
way during Dominican travel. We built our villa here because
the Dominican Republic has a low crime rate and it’s especially
worth noting that violent crime against tourists is extremely
rare. |
