Caribbean Islands

Dominican Republic (Fee's May Apply)

Parts of the Caribbean Islands are so beautiful, you'd happily marry the closest iguana just so you could stay there forever. Think dramatic green hills, blue skies, tripped-out sunsets and beach.

The Dominican Republic (or República Dominicana) -- part of the island of Hispaniola which they share with Haiti -- is one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the Caribbean. It offers breathtaking beaches and green mountains, extraordinary resorts and affordable hotels, plus a rich colonial history. Beach-lovers come for the endless stretches of pure white beaches, and history and culture buffs find unending pleasure in Santo Domingo's 16th-Century Colonial Zone.
