The Dominican Republic is a colorful tapestry of Spanish, French, Haitian,
and African influences woven by a rich and storied history. In addition to
the comforts of sun, sea, surf, and sand the Dominican Republic offers an
exciting and unique cultural experience that will captivate your senses.
Expatriats from the globe have settled here for over 70 years providing
additional Canadian, German, American and Flemish flavor throughout the
island. Bienvenido - the Spanish word for welcome - is not only printed on
the signs as you enter each town, it is expressed in the attitudes of the
people.
 
The lush green of the North Coast is as charmingly different from the sandy
South as the Eastern shoreline is from the Western mountains. This island
offers the benefits of living a luxurious lifestyle with maid and gardener
services for as little as $15.00 US per day - or, if you prefer, skip the
servants and buy a condominium that will provide you with weekly vacation
rental year 'round.

This is a destination like no other - a sensual feast of dazzling
landscapes, secluded beaches, exotic cuisine, and a remarkable variety of
arts and entertainment options. The pulse-pounding thrill of the merengue
and bachata, intriguing relics from centuries past, premium cigars, and even
world-class baseball await you. The Dominican Republic is a surprising place
that will delight even the most experienced traveler.
