Punta Cana - "The New Caribbean" Punta CanaResorts

Apple Vacations BeachPunta Cana - On the eastern most coast of the Dominican Republic lies Punta Cana, a growing area complete with its own airport, surrounded by a beautiful countryside at the heart of some of the best stretches of beachfront in the world. With nearly 40 miles of unbroken beaches lining the coast, perfect shores are never far away.

As a vacation destination, Punta Cana is relatively new. The oldest hotel was built in 1985, with 90% of them built after 1995. Local regulations permit hotels to be built only as high as the tallest palm tree, helping to preserve the natural atmosphere and tropical ambiance of its pristine white sand coastlines.

In an effort to maintain the stunning beauty of its wildlife areas, Punta Cana has put a priority on its ecological efforts. Forming part of the Coconut Coast, many resorts feature walking paths through coconut mangroves complete with natural springs and mangrove forests.

Rental Cars:

You must be at least 25 years old to rent a car, and you'll need a valid driver's license from your home country or an international driving permit. Although we do not recommend renting a car, car rentals are available for approximately $50 - $65 per day. Several internationally recognized companies (I.e. Hertz, Avis and Budget) operate in competition with many local operators. The latter usually offer customers substantially lower prices, but could be a source of problems in case of accidents. Insurance is relatively expensive, collision-damage waiver is essential if you don't want to pay for the full value of repairs for damages in cases of accident. Be sure to check that there is adequate coverage if you rent from the local operators and that there is a spare tire and jack for repairs.
