Thomas, I'm curious, where and when are you staying in the DR? And where did you get the great price? I'm looking for another great deal there like I got a few months ago for my mom, 7 nights all inclusive to Natura Park with air from Hartford for $ 598(including tax!). It was last minute through Apple but that's what I call a deal. She loved it.

Sunscape Resort - Apple Vacations. Any travel agent who books apple can get you a great deal at this resort for your family.

Look into La Sirena Hotel in Anguilla-usually quiet and has good off-season rates.
