Product Description
Splendid resorts, aqua waters, sandy beaches, and evenings filled with merengue and dark rum: The Dominican Republic boasts all the ingredients for a relaxing vacation. But there is much to discover as well, with tropical rain forests, mangrove swamps, vast desert expanses, and a mountainous interior. An amazing array of opportunities for ecotourism and adventure travel are available throughout this beautiful natural realm. From the bustling, historic capital city of Santo Domingo to the wildlife-rich Lago Enriquillo, from the underdeveloped Semana Peninsula famous for whale-watching to the remote beaches and sugar plantations in the southeast, the guide provides everything you need to make the most of your trip.

Superficial, Poorly Indexed, Not Very Helpful July 7, 2008
Brian Raub (Moneta, VA USA)
We are active travelers who explore extensively; we seldom "stay put". We want lots of details and like many recommendations of "sights to see". This disappointing guide contains very basic info about the DR, but lacks depth. The photos are nice, but many of the photo subjects (named waterfalls, for example) do not appear in the index, so you cannot determine exactly where they are. The index is very poorly done; you cannot find "scuba diving" in the index, even though good scuba diving spots are described in the text. There are no highlights of the "Best of" the country's beaches, fishing, sights to see, or anything else. There are no suggestions for how you might spend 7 days or 10 days or 14 days driving the "highlights" of the Dominican Republic. Unless you want a very superficial guide and some pretty pictures, buy a different guide.
