Family travel

Safety was our priority and apple vacations and the concierge told us what places and activities were the safest and most reputable.zip lining over the mountains was breathtaking. Cost was a little over $2,000 round trip air and hotel for 7 days.

Group travel

I traveled with a group to Punta Cana. It was very nice. We had the best boat tours at Infinity Ocean Punta Cana - the best party boat so far. The food was delightful. In the evening, we went to Coco Bar or to Drink Point.
