Tips for Family

Choose your Beach Wisely

Bávaro is the most lively. Macau is for surfing. Juanillo in Cap Cana is luxurious and quiet. Research which beach best suits your style.

The Truth about Sargassum

Sargassum is a seasonal and unpredictable problem (usually worse in warm months). Before booking, check Facebook groups or live webcams to see the current status of the beaches.

Tips are Expected

The tipping culture is strong. 10% in restaurants is standard. Small tips for hotel staff (maids, porters, waiters) are also appreciated.

The Rhythm is Relaxed

'Caribbean time' is a reality. Service may be slower than you are used to. Relax and enjoy the rhythm of the island.

Use Sunscreen and Repellent

The Caribbean sun is very strong. Use high-factor sunscreen constantly. Mosquito repellent is important, especially at dawn and dusk, to prevent diseases such as dengue.

Beware of Street Food

If you eat at street stalls, choose those that have a lot of people and look clean to avoid stomach problems.

Beware of Common Scams

Beware of timeshare scams, overly pushy salespeople, and inflated prices. Be firm but polite when saying 'No, thank you.'

Don't Leave Your Drinks Unattended

As with any party destination, always keep an eye on your drink, especially in big clubs and busy bars.
