Is it Safe to Leave the Resort in Punta Cana?
Yes!
Now, I know there are always worries when traveling to a different country – especially if it is your first time in the Dominican Republic – but Punta Cana is a safe destination. You can feel confident knowing that you and your family will have a safe and relaxing vacation here.
Actually:
Punta Cana is one of the safest destinations in the Caribbean. And it is booming! There are so many amazing beaches, restaurants, bars, excursions, and activities to check out outside of the resort – and I encourage you to do so!
The entire city is centered around tourism, so you can feel free to explore the surrounding areas without fear. Most neighborhoods off the resort are filled with tourists, snowbirds, and expats so there is an awesome community of friendly people all around.
Of course, I always recommend a few things to ensure you have the best vacation possible:
Tips to Ensure You Have a Safe Vacation in Punta Cana
- Practice common sense. Remember what your parents taught you when you were leaving home for the first time? All those old adages still ring true. Be aware of your surroundings. Make good choices. Don’t walk around alone at night. And I’d add that it’s probably best to leave your valuables and expensive jewelry at home. Don’t flash large wads of cash out in the street. And never leave your bags unattended.
- Along those lines, let’s talk about alcohol. Of course, you want to take advantage of the all-inclusive stay. I get it. You deserve to fully relax and enjoy your vacation. Plus, the rum is so good! But just don’t overdo it. Know your limits and drink responsibly (both on and off the resort).
- Finally, just be respectful. Remember that you are a visitor in this country. You will most definitely find differences in the way things are done back home. Sometimes it can get frustrating. Especially with the language barrier. That’s okay! Try to embrace the differences. Practice patience. And be polite, no matter who you’re talking to. Trust me, your attitude can truly make or break your vacation!
A Note for my Extra Cautious Travelers
If you are extremely nervous about leaving the resort for the first time, I recommend you book a photoshoot or an excursion before venturing around Punta Cana on your own. That way, you can feel more comfortable since you’ll be with someone who knows the surrounding areas.
It is safe to leave your resort, but sometimes it helps to have a trusted person by your side to help you take that first step.
