That is really one of the best paradise places I've ever been to! Nowhere in the world you are met by the ladies in national costumes who take pictures and musicians! Nowhere in the world I saw happy and hospital personnel that sings and dances while cleaning your room, making coctails, or taking order in the restaurant! We came there on Friday noon and had all day free! Luckily, the sun was hiding behind the clouds so we didn't get the sunburn in the first day) We lived in Cataloniya Royal, adults only section. That was perfect! We could either spend time on our private beach or go to the public one, we had a huge choice of restaurants to go and we had magnificent service) One day we went to Hard Rock Cafe to get ... read more

Located on the eastern shores of the province "La Altagracia", Punta Cana is the most booked and visited vacation spot. Its bright clear blue beaches, and its beautifully diverse population makes the trip a memorable one. Unfortunatly their democracy and lack of decent wages, makes the foreigner really appreciate their hard work. They are the working class. They are the people that make your vacation a plesant experiance. Here is a little something about my vacation... We landed around 5pm eastern time. It was hot! I was amazed at how carribean it felt at the airport. The airport was a replaca of any resort out there. Their roofs were covered in palm fronds. Amazing! As entering the international airport of Punta Cana, DR, my company and I were greeted by 2 gorgeous women who were dressed ... read more


For more of my photos, or to buy my book, please visit www.nickkembel.com Jen and Dean's Wedding in the Dominican Republic images by Marissa Puff and Nicholas Kembel don't forget to see pages 2 and 3 of this blog for more pictures! So after some complications and a canceled wedding in Mexico thanks to a little swine flu scare, Jen and Dean still managed to find a tropical paradise at the last minute which was willing to host their wedding. The new venue was Punta Cana, a stretch of white sand beaches on the east coast of the Dominican Republic. Aside from this initial minor obstacle, the week itself was smooth, and no less than perfect. All of those present were able to indulge in 24 hour all you can eat and all you can ... read more

Last weekend I had the fantastic opportunity to travel to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic as part of a (complimentary!) leadership retreat for my local chapter of MPI. We stayed at the Moon Palace Casino, Golf & Spa Resort, a brand new property which is still in the process of being finished and just had its soft opening a few weeks ago. This was my first time to the Dominican Republic and though I had heard various reviews from friends and clients, I always try to travel with an open mind to create my own impression of a new destination. After temperatures in the high teens and low 20’s here in Philadelphia, arriving at the open air grass-hut-looking airport in Punta Cana where the temperature probably hovered around 85 degrees was a wonderful way to ... read more

Day 1 - Toronto & Arrival into Punta Cana An ambitious start to the day - maintaining that I'll be up at the crack of dawn running on the beach followed by a nice round of yoga. Jodi & I are up at 7am and out the door at 8am for an hour session at the gym. Jodi graciously succumbed to my whining for a trim and gave me the angled cut I've been waiting for (with all the humidity of the Caribbean it would be the last time my hair was so cleanly straightened til we were back on Canadian snow). After the haircut, we prepped with a tanning session (7 min in a bed did nothing for the nearly 7 days of sun I'd be getting shortly). By 10am, we were ready for some ... read more

A few friends and I were looking for short get away as a reunion after years of geographical separation. Lured by cheap all inclusive deals we found ourselves at Eden H in Punta Cana. I've always had an aversion to all-inclusive resorts, after all to independent travelers they are tantamount to a self inflicted hostage crisis. But even I cannot resist the idea of a few days spent under the sun in a stunning beach, passing the time with no cares. Located on the eastern tip of the island of Hispaniola, Punta Cana is ground zero for the Dominican Republic's burgeoning tourism industry. The stretch of beach here is the stuff you dream about as you toil in your office cubicle. With its powdery white sand, countless coconut trees and lukewarm waters, it exemplifies Caribbean bliss. ... read more
