Find cheaper flights to Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic covers two thirds of the Hispaniola Island, it shares the beauty of the island with Haiti. "The most beautiful place that human eyes have ever seen" is what Columbus said when he landed here in 1492. He was of course prejudiced in desperate need of a small success and hadn't seen any land for some time then, but there is still quite a bit of truth in his observation.

One of the first things the Spaniards did in this charming new discovery of theirs is massacre all the inhabitants. Within 13 years 600,000 Taino indians were killed.

Santo Domingo is the chief city of the Dominican Republic. The colonial zone is absolutely worth a visit - it features the Calle de las Damas, the oldest street in the new world.

Unfortunately many tourists don't come farther than Puerto Plata City with its fabulous beaches....this makes the North Coast (Amber Coast) an unspoilt paradise for a wonderful tropical holiday.

Dining
While you visit the Dominican Repuplic you must sample some of their restaurants. On the Old City at Santo Domingo, righ across the historic "Alcazar de Colon", you will find one of the best restaurant I have dine in. It is called "Pate Palo" and it is world famous for their "churrasco" marinated in cumin and honey. It's unique flavor will send you tase buds into orbit. Their food presentation is also first class and their desserts are to die for.

Gambling
Be careful as their casinos are not regulated nor watched by anyone. This opens up the chances that you will be scam. There is a game in particular that you should stay away. It goes by the name of "Super Keno" or "Dominican Keno". It is not he keno you wil find on most U.S. Casino but a progressive game that it is a scam. As you enter the Casino you will receive some free chips from a very attractive sweet young lady to test a "new" game. You will soon find yourself thinking that you could actually win the game but in actuallity you are been set up to be clean out of your money.
