NOW Larimar, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
My 40th, First Trip to Dominican Republic-February 2018
Exploring beyond Jamaica
Why This Trip Matters:
This trip gave me the opportunity to experience Punta Cana and better understand how it compares to Jamaica—something my clients ask about all the time.
What Made It Special:
- Beautiful, wide beaches with soft white sand
- Calm, swimmable water in many areas
- A great value destination for all-inclusive travel
My Experience:
Punta Cana offered a relaxing and easy vacation with a more laid-back, resort-focused feel. It was a great experience, but also highlighted how each destination has its own unique personality.
Why It Matters for My Clients:
Having experienced both Jamaica and Punta Cana, I can help guide clients based on what they’re really looking for.
- Want culture, personality, and connection? → Jamaica
- Want relaxation and value with beautiful beaches? → Punta Cana
Best time to visit
December–April for the best weather ☀️ May–June & November for good value 🌴 Late summer/early fall can be hotter with a higher chance of rain
