Travel to the Dominican Republic

Echambers

So, the fiancé and I are considering the Dominican Republic for our honeymoon. (I told you she was a good women!). Anyone travel there? Advice? Ideas? She, by the way, speaks Spanish fluently.

I have been down there twice with my wife, we both loved it. We stayed at the Bahia Grand Principe, huge resort with lots going on. Can't really help with cigars however, didn't really get to the factories. I did happen to go to a place called Mundo Autentico, a small factory where they roll their own brand called Don Lucas. The also have a giant walk in humidor with a great selection.

It is a beautiful country. Things are well organized just book things in advance. If you speak little Spanish it will make your trip fun. Unfortunetly when I visited DR last time I wasn't a cigar smoker so did not visit any cigar sites. Easy to rent a car and drive around. People are friendly.

It was..okay when I went. Don't go in January it was still cold as balls and wind was hauling. We stayed in Punta Cana. It was okay, we were warned to only go outside the compound with hotels "certified"taxis. Yeah certified to rip you a new one! For example I wanted to ho to LFD factory.. dang cabbies wanted $500 for like 40,miles. Look into cigar country and their tours. Oh and lastly, almost EVERY cigar you come across is fake so don't buy the box of Opus x for $45

I am going to Punta Cana middle of May for my honeymoon. Staying at Excellance resort. My first time out of the country. Was wondering if we could bring our own cigars. No idea how that worked.

You can bring anything you want going in, coming out is a different story. I spent hours upon hours searching and finally found REAL Castro sticks at the hard rock hotel. Took the band's off and declaired it and they still gave me hell but got thru.
