Dream Punta Cana Vacations

A few travel tips to plan the "perfect" one

Before going to your Punta Cana vacations take a moment and think about your previous getaways, is very likely that you might want to have changed some parts of it. That is why planning is essential: think, organize, enjoy; this applies in all phases of life and great vacations as well. Planning will help you to do almost everything that you originally wanted.

Budget

Unfortunately not everyone has an infinite amount money in their bank account, and if you are like the rest of us having a budget is fundamental for surviving in your vacation. Here are some ideas of my "Punta Cana budget" that you might want to read:

• First think which are the main 5 to 10 things in which you will spend money. For example: tipping, souvenirs, the tourist card, tours, taxi.

• Then for each category assign a maximum value that you are willing to spend on it, ask some family members or friends for suggestions.

• After that create and organize your travel budget on a spreadsheet or hold each labeled category of money with some paperclips in a very secure place.

• Now stop spending money on things that you will not use and start saving for your Punta Cana vacations.  : )

Tipping

The tipping is not mandatory but is a nice thing to do when someone works hard to please you. Many travelers have doubts on how much to tip and even more if it is one of their first vacations out of their country. The tipping should be given according to your satisfaction with the work done. But in general you can tip: the luggage carrier $ 5.00 USD, the maid like $ 2.00 to $ 3.00 USD per room/day, and the waitress about $ 3.00 USD per day.

The right resort

Depending on what you like, your budget, and who you are going to travel with is the resort that you should stay on. There are resorts for all preferences: exclusively for adults with no kids allowed, others offer an atmosphere just perfect for your kids while additionally others allow spring breakers. If you are the type of person that loves the wild life, then a resort like the Natura Park would be an ideal selection. But if you are looking for relaxing and some luxury considering a resort similar to the Majestic Colonial or the Excellence is a good idea for your next trip. However, don't forget to plan about  which activities you want to do when staying at Punta Cana.
