Suprisingly, in this day and age of easy travel, not everyone knows where the Dominican Republic is actually situated in the World. The Dominican Republic is perfectly situated between the warm waters of the Caribbean sea and the colder waters of the Atlantic. This provides a diverse climate with warm Caribbean winds as well as large rainfalls (in the mountains), that ensure a truely stunning and vibrant landscape.
To the immediate west of the Dominican Republic is Haiti, and the two countries could not be more different in terms of culture, ecomony, education, language and religion. For more information on Haiti, please visit the Wikipedia Haiti site.
To the far west is the island of Cuba, with its vibrant culture and inconic architecture and while we're sure that once you've visited the Dominican Republic, you will never want to go anywhere else, if you would like one "non-Dominican" vacation, then Cuba is an amazing place to visit. To the east of the Dominican Republic is Puerto Rico, again with a defined Spanish influence and even further west are the Caribbean islands of The British Virgin Islands, Antigua, Montserrat and a host of other beautiful places.
As you can see, we are lucky to live in such a beautiful location and we're sure that once you experience the REAL Dominican Republic, then you'll leave part of your heart here forever.
