How can I go to Caribbean for cheap? Punta Cana vacation deals 2024

The cheapest season to travel to the Caribbean is summer, to be more precise – from May to September. And this has its own reasons:

• Summer season in the Caribbean is more humid and rainy, and this scares many tourists. But there is no reason to be afraid of the rains here. As a rule, they are short-term and more often go at night rather than during the day.
• Also, it is common that it is raining only on one part of the island, therefor if you will rent a car, you can easily travel to another part and enjoy a peaceful and serene beach without rain on another part of the island.

The most affordable and the cheapest destinations in the Caribbean are the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, and Jamaica. Among all of them, the Dominican Republic is the most popular among tourists.

The DR is a fairly large country in comparison with others in the Caribbean. It has diverse landscapes, rich culture, and insanely beautiful beaches. Besides this, it is more convenient and safe for tourists among the countries listed above.

Most tourists choose to spend a vacation in the resort area of Punta Cana, but areas of La Romana, Juan Dolio, Boca Chica, Puerto Plata and Samana are also popular.

There are many nice places to stay in the Dominican Republic, and in every area, it is possible to find a budget place for an affordable holiday. If to talk about the most popular destination in the Dominican Republic, which is good not only for your wallet, but also for your eye, it definitely would be Punta Cana.

This area is full of luxurious resorts, which might be not a very cheap option, but the good thing, this area is also full of all-inclusive apartments and villas for rent, which is more affordable if you are planning a vacation with whole your family. Besides this, Punta Cana is a place that gets the least amount of rains in the whole DR.

The best way to save on food is to cook it by yourself, that is why renting an apartment with a kitchen is also a good choice. You can buy food in small shops away from tourist places (they are called “Mercado”) the price for basic products is usually lower than in tourist places. If you love seafood it is cheap to buy it from fishermen on the beach. You can catch them on the beach when they are coming back from fishing in the evening.

If you are not a big friend of cooking, then you can eat in cheap local cafes, where you can find popular Dominican dishes. But if you are traveling with friends or family, it would be a good option to hire a maid who can cook for you three meals per day for the whole company. How to organize it in advance?

As for transportation, the same as in all countries, the cheapest transportation option is public transport. But if you are traveling with friends it would be reasonable to rent a car or use the taxi services.

However, if you are going to explore local attractions, keep in mind that it is more profitable to purchase an excursion at the agency, as its price includes not only transportation, but also services of a guide, lunch, and drinks.
