Well it’s Monday again! I’m sad that the weekend flew by, but I am looking forward to this coming weekend because we have some fun things to do!! So today I’m going to talk about our vacation to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, actually we left for vacation exactly one year ago today! That also means that Saturday was our 1 year anniversary of being engaged :) Mr. Tan Lines proposed 2 days before we left for the Dominican, which meant we got to spend an entire blissful week celebrating! It was the best week of my life, we had the perfect time. Everything was perfect and beautiful!
I had been itching for us to go on a vacation for some time, so in January I finally convinced him and we decided on the Dominican Republic. Luti and her husband went back in 2006 and ever since then I had always had the urge to go! We both wanted to stay somewhere all-inclusive and somewhere large. Spending an entire week there we knew we would want various food and activity options. After about a month of researching we finally settled on the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe, and opted to upgrade with the “VIP” pass called Club Premium. This is the only way to go! The BBPD had over 10 restaurants over 5 bars, a casino, a club, an ENORMOUS pool, an awesome swim up bar, a separate “Adults-Only” pool and bar area and the most spectacular beach views! I just can’t say enough good things about this place, it was the perfect week! The fact that I speak fluent Spanish was a tremendous help, very few people there spoke English. The first picture is of our view from our room, the second is me soaking up the rays and the third is of the pool early in the morning before anyone was in it!
Our room had some of the best views on the resort, as you can see. With the Club Premium upgrade we were guaranteed to have the best views, free room service, free use of the spa, premium liquor at bars and 3 extra restaurants that other guests had to pay extra for. The room service was key the last few days, one day we were just too tired to get ready for dinner and the next day Mr. Tan Lines was feeling a little under the weather so we ordered it again, I mean it was free so why not!? Here is a picture of us in the infinity pool located in the spa area!
We spent the entire week sunbathing, eating and enjoying every second together. We did one excursion, the adventure go-kart tour. We got to drive the karts through some pretty cool scenery and then they took us to a private untouched beach. Afterwards they took us to a natural swimming hole with crystal clear water that we actually got to swim in! Here we are on La Copcana Beach, it was breathtaking! The second picture is us at the French restaurant, Le Comedie and the last one is me in the beautiful fountain located in the center of the resort!
There were so many different options for dinner, in one week we didn’t even get to try them all! There was always a buffet open for all 3 meals and dinner was the only one that offered sit down meals. We had all sorts of yummy things; steak one night, Italian, Japanese, French and American (which was just more yummy steak!)
Whenever anyone mentions that they are looking for ideas of where to vacation I immediately begin to talk about the BBPD and how amazing and beautiful it was! It’s one of those places that the pictures you see online are really what you see in person. It’s just breathtaking :)
