Review:
The Dominican Republic is a lovely island nation on the Caribbean Sea island of Hispaniola, which is also home to neighboring nation Haiti. The island country has come alive in recent years as a top Caribbean tourism destination, home to luxurious all-inclusive resorts and pristine white sand beaches at areas like the stunning 64-kilometer Coconut Coast. Gorgeous capital city Santo Domingo is home to preserved Spanish colonial landmarks like the romantic Calle de las Damas and the Gothic Catedral Primada de America, while charming city Puerto Plata is known for its art galleries, upscale restaurants, and Victorian-era architecture. Calle de Conde, the New World's first commercial street, remains a popular pedestrian shopping district today, lined with souvenir shops, restaurants, cafes, and street art vendors.
