Find the latest deals on Dominican Republic holidays with The Co-operative Travel, and book online with confidence.  The Dominican Republic shares the large Caribbean Island of Hispaniola with neighbouring Haiti and is a favoured destination for Britons and North Americans. Latin in history and tradition but most definitely Caribbean in attitude the Dominican Republic is a tropical pearl offering top-class beach holidays guaranteed to relax and totally refresh.

Many of the holidays to the Dominican Republic are provided on an all-inclusive board basis, with luxury laid on as standard. However, even those extravagant breaks can be considered cheap holidays to the Dominican Republic when compared to prices of similar breaks to other prominent Caribbean islands. Tourists to the island certainly get excellent value for money and a large portion of tropical sunshine to boot.

Top resorts on this part of Hispaniola include Puerto Plata on the north coast and a cluster around the capital of Santo Domingo on the south coast. But the choices are vast on both shores and a great number of long haul package holidays to the Dominican Republic are available all year round. However, when deciding when to go it is best to avoid hurricane season which reaches its peak between September and November.

The focus is most definitely on fun when it comes to holidays in the Dominican Republic. The most beloved drinks of the locals include rum and coffee, although not always in the same cup! The marvellous cuisine is a concoction of Latin, African and Western influences and when it comes to entertainment what beats the Merengue? Fast and rhythmic, the Merengue musical style originated in the Dominican Republic but beware- it is highly infectious! However, you don’t have to stick with the local song and dance as there are plenty of bars and clubs that play more traditional disco music.

Travellers from the UK departing on Dominican Republic holidays will fly directly to a choice of five airports depending upon their resort and carrier. Dominican Republic holiday deals are often snapped up well in advance. Check out availability at The Co-operative Travel and you could soon be on your way to a Caribbean holiday of a lifetime.
