The park entrance fee is all inclusive and includes not only all the waterpark activities and features, but a buffet lunch or bbq too. Dare to try the AquaRacer, a high speed, four lane slide that is100 meters long. And there is plenty to do for the little ones also in their own private Pirate’s pool!]]> http://puntacanabavaro.com/news/new-water-park-in-punta-cana-sirenis-aquagames.html/feed 0 http://puntacanabavaro.com/news/dominican-republic-with-the-most-blue-flag-beaches-in-latin-america.html http://puntacanabavaro.com/news/dominican-republic-with-the-most-blue-flag-beaches-in-latin-america.html#comments Fri, 13 Jan 2012 19:56:28 +0000 TJ http://puntacanabavaro.com/?p=1473 The Dominican Republic has the largest number of beaches with prestigious Blue Flag certification in Latin America and the Caribbean with 14 blue flag beach certified properties. Four properties in Punta Cana have the certification: Bahia Principe Bavaro, Barcelo Punta Cana and Iberostar. Barcelo Bavaro in Bavaro beach is also a Blue Flag Beach. There are two more in the Cabeza de Toro area: Grand Oasis Grand and Cabeza de Toro Natura Park. ]]> http://puntacanabavaro.com/news/dominican-republic-with-the-most-blue-flag-beaches-in-latin-america.html/feed 0 http://puntacanabavaro.com/tours/buggies-excursion.html http://puntacanabavaro.com/tours/buggies-excursion.html#comments Sat, 17 Dec 2011 19:29:01 +0000 TJ http://puntacanabavaro.com/?p=1377 In all honesty, I was skeptical about the Buggie excursion in Punta Cana. There is just something about whizzing by quiet country homes with a noisy little ‘cage on wheels’ that puts me off. Things didn’t start well either. Myself and another 10 tourists, or so, were dropped off at a small ranch in the countryside of northern Punta Cana. The ranch was quaint and we were asked to sit down and wait as our Buggies were on their way. “Just 5 minutes”, said one of the guides. ]]> http://puntacanabavaro.com/tours/buggies-excursion.html/feed 0 http://puntacanabavaro.com/travel/punta-cana-airport-flight-information.html http://puntacanabavaro.com/travel/punta-cana-airport-flight-information.html#comments Sun, 27 Nov 2011 16:19:03 +0000 Ken http://puntacanabavaro.com/?p=1339 Punta Cana is the leading and fastest growing port of entry in the Dominican Republic and in the Caribbean, and the 2nd busiest airport in the Caribbean.

It’s on pace to receive nearly 5 million visitors in 2011, topping the record set last year.

The country, which shares the Caribbean island of Hispaniola with Haiti, is less than two hours from Miami on a direct flight, and the government is trying to cash in on that proximity with the advertising slogan "Closer than you think." For many travelers, a getaway to the country means a stay at one of the many mammoth beachfront, all-inclusive resorts. In these compounds, for as little as $50 a day per person, tourists can hop from buffet to bar, pool to sea, taking in a session of water aerobics or beach volleyball.]]> http://puntacanabavaro.com/travel/record-year-expected-tourism-dominican-republic.html/feed 0 http://puntacanabavaro.com/travel/dominican-republics-valle-nuevo.html http://puntacanabavaro.com/travel/dominican-republics-valle-nuevo.html#comments Fri, 23 Sep 2011 16:00:06 +0000 TJ http://puntacanabavaro.com/?p=1068 The last strands of light are being squeezed away behind the mountain range in the distance, leaving a faded orange glow in the horizon. I hold my kerosene lamp up to the thermometer alongside the front door of the log cabin. It reads only 50°F. The ribs I’ve been barbecuing in the cabin’s front porch sizzle from the flames of a mix of burning wood and charcoal. With two glasses of wine, my girlfriend and I sit down at a small table on the porch, our breath now visible, as we admire the forming night sky with each star seemingly taking its position in turn. ]]> http://puntacanabavaro.com/travel/dominican-republics-valle-nuevo.html/feed 0 http://puntacanabavaro.com/travel/why-canadians-choose-dominican-republic.html http://puntacanabavaro.com/travel/why-canadians-choose-dominican-republic.html#comments Wed, 21 Sep 2011 14:39:42 +0000 Ken http://puntacanabavaro.com/?p=1150 Punta Cana, on the eastern edge of the Dominican Republic, became one of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean for good reasons, it has incredible beaches. Turquoise waters, white sand and tall palm trees are hallmarks along the shoreline.

For Canadians, the Dominican Republic is the fourth most popular international tourist destination. To accommodate those tourists, Punta Cana has an very desirable selection of all inclusive resorts. More than 35,000 hotel rooms can be found here, including many along the beautiful beaches of Bavaro.
