Trip in February 2011 for me, husband and 17 and 20 year old girls. Want an all inlcusive, as it is cheaper than just a hotel. What do you recommend? Punta Cana?
we like the beach, ut also sight seeing. (saw punta cna mike tours on trip advisor)

Punta Cana- Bahia Principe!!! Amazing hotel, Amazing beach, Amazing food!!!

This property is HUGE- be prepared to do a lot of walking... the great thing is they have little trains that take you around the resort, so if you are too lazy to walk from your room to the beach you can go VIA little train ride... its a really great spot to travel with the whole family... I went with a large group 2 years ago, ages ranged from 14-60. It was a great family spot as well as fun for the youngsters!

They have a Japanese Tepanyaki resto which was absolutely amazing!!! Cooking tables where the chefs cook right infront of you! Great experience!
The resort also offers free internet in the internet cafe! This was a plus (especially for the younsters)!

Overall, we had a fabulous time. Have travelled to the D.R. 9 times now. Stayed in many resorts and by far, this one was our favourite!

Look into the Iberostar complex in Punta Cana also. GREAT family resort with many dining choices and great service and beach.

schmerl, will you please respond to her question on the Mexico forum for hotel ideas. You have more experience with the Iberostars and some of the other major chains there than I do. Thanks.

KVR,
I'll look for it.
