Every year, my family plans a vacation in some or the other exotic location. This way, I have been to many off beat places and took pleasure in exploring the unexplored and unpolluted destinations. This year, we decided to visit Punta Cana. Though, this place is a known tourist hot spot, but since we wanted to visit any of the Dominican Republic destinations, this city seemed to be a perfect choice. As soon as we finalized our trip, we started looking for reasonable plane tickets. We came to know that there are several flights to Punta Cana, and many of them offer cheap tickets. Since, we were interested in a budget travel, we decided to book cheap tickets to Punta Cana. Our next step was to accumulate as much information as possible about the destination we were about to visit. Some of our acquaintances, who already had visited this destination, gave us several prominent travel tips.
Playa Bavaro or Bavaro Beach is one of the prominent beaches in this destination. A wide array of resorts is located here so accommodation was not a big issue. We decided to book a reasonable vacation resort facing beach. The ambiance in this resort was informal, and staffs were very friendly. Beach was just a walking distance so we could easily enjoy beach activities any time that suited us. During day time, there used to be a crowd of vacationers, but evenings used to be relatively less crowded. This was the perfect time for my parents to spend some quality time with each other. We, on the other hand, used this time to indulge in a variety of activities available within the resort. One of the days, we decided to visit Marinarium, a wonderful marine park housing a wide spectrum of marine species typical of Dominican Area. Some of the species are rare and exotic. We children were happy to see marine world in front of us. The snorkel cruises offered by this park is the highlight of this attraction. Watching shoals of fish swimming at close quarters is a fascinating experience.

We also visited the National Park, Isla Saona that is located close to the pristine beaches and protects and preserves unique species of flora and fauna. Since, cheap flights to Punta Cana are readily available; the destination is full of holiday crowd. In order to see a limestone karst landscape, we also visited Parque Nacional Del Este. Tropical moist forest is the highlight of this destination. Several major carriers offer ticket airline that is affordable and at the same time, comfortable. We had booked our tickets on Air France. Our journey was very comfortable, and we enjoyed several in-flight entertainment options. Our trip was very enjoyable!
