Dominican Republic holidays transport you to the most beautiful of islands in the Caribbean with high mountains, lush vegetation, saltwater lakes and glorious beaches. The island was discovered by Christopher Columbus and a strong Spanish influence is seen in its food and its culture. The country shares the island with Haiti where life is very hard and there no tourist industry to help the economy. With palms framing romantic beaches lapped by crystal waters, it is no surprise that couples choose to marry here and many Dominican Republic holidays are for this purpose. If you are seeking a guarantee of sun, idyllic beaches, warm seas and superb accommodation and amenities, a Dominican Republic holiday may be just the ticket.
