At 18,750 square miles, the Dominican Republic is one of the largest islands in the Caribbean. With so much ground to cover, you will need to plan an itinerary in order to get the full experience of the island.

In order to know what to expect from your trip, sit down and develop a plan of action for your island getaway. The first step in the planning process is to research your potential vacation spot.

Because the Dominican Republic is so large, finding the part of the island that is right for you and your vacation is very important. Different regions of the island will appeal to different vacationers. For example, the southeast region is agricultural and has exciting, luxurious night life, whereas the southwest part of the island is more desert-like and less crowded. If you do not conduct the necessary research before going on your vacation, you could end up in an area of the island that may or may not be exactly what you anticipated.

Whether you want to spend your time amongst the lively hustle and bustle of the all-day happy hour bars, or you prefer a vacation of luxury away from the crowds, doing your homework about the Dominican Republic will ensure that you know just what kind of vacation is in store.
