Dominican Republic Travel THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACH IN
THE WORLD
By Profesor Martin N. Danenberg “El Quijote del GED”
My first visit to an all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana led to
five more visits in a little more than two years, three of which
were in Punta Cana. The other two were in the Puerta Plata area,
but in the towns of Cofresí and Sosúa. In December, I ran into two
entire days of rain in Cofresí. Otherwise there was always
sunshine and great weather during my six weeks in the Dominican
Republic in February, June, November, and December.
Punta Cana is considered to have the most beautiful beach in the
world. My fiancée and I have walked two hours on the beach and
passed most of the hotels on the beach. The best beach in terms of
the clarity of the water was between the new Bahía Principe and
the Super Club Breezes. The water is beautiful there and has less
seaweed. There is a natural coral reef near the Barceló hotels
which provides calm waters. We found the roughest waters by the
Paradisus and the bay is gorgeous there.
I met Miss Universe, Amelia Vega, and singer-actor Pablo Montero
in the incredible seafood restaurant Captain Cook’s in the town of
El Cortecito. Try the huge seafood platter, which comes with great
fried potatoes, salad, sangria and other drinks. You cannot go
wrong eating chicharrones de pollo or just order a la carte.
The beach by the Iberostar and Riú may be the nicest stretch of
beach, but the area by the AMHSA Grand Paradise Bavaro is the most
peaceful. The latter is the least trafficked area of all.
There is plenty of food, all day long and some hotels, like the
Super Club Breezes, have a grill where you can find something you
enjoy a lot. I loved the chicken.
I really enjoyed walking to the beach, refilling my Cuba libres
during the day with Bareló rum, and spending time chatting with
the Dominican people. In many of the hotels you meet many
Canadians, English, French, Italians, Belgians, and Portuguese. I
even found that in the Meliá Hotel there were many people from
Latin America. The nightly entertainment, which is more or less
the same, in the hotels is designed to attract a wide audience and
the presentation is multilingual. You will find the same team on
the beach during the day, working hard and bringing large numbers
of people into the daily activities. The animation team and guests
begin to feel like family for the week. These people love their
work, because it gives them an opportunity to practice their
profession.
If golf is your passion, take your clubs or just rent and enjoy
the beautiful views along the Punta Cana Golf Club and some of the
best golf in the world. And please take a guided tour of the
countryside. This is a beautiful country.
