We are considering for the FIRST time going to Dominican..for us and kids!
Looking at dec 19-24 for the first of school holiday week off. There's a CostCo deal on trips to DR which is what is swaying us to do. They were sold out on Costa Rica deals but we weren't adverse to looking up any all inclusives with kids clubs there if it's a better experience than DR.
Would love to get feedback on those who might be familiar with:
Paradisus Palma Real
The Level at Melia Caribe Tropical
Or if there's other places in DR/Costa Rica..
We are seeking specifically, really great
1. kids clubs (kids are young 5 and 7) and if possible entertainment like shows in evening for adults/kids
2. beach (soft sand, clear water as much as possible
3. clean property in general
4. reasonable distance excursions (ie dolphin swimming, whatever else beside staying on resort and swimming)
Would either above property be better?
Thank you!
