Palm trees can do what roses only dream about. When it’s time to bring the heat, the Dominican Republic’s adults-only all-inclusive resorts are the perfect place to set the scene. And these 12 dreamy resorts are some of our favourites for couples’ trips in the Caribbean. (Plus, we're sharing a few tips to make your vacay the best one yet!)



When is the best time to go to the Dominican Republic?

For the best weather and the lowest prices, plan your trip to the Dominican Republic between mid-April and early June.

The Caribbean country enjoys average daily temperatures between 25 and 28 degrees Celcius year-round. The rainier season typically lasts from September through November. So, if you’re travelling at this time, you can expect a more humid heat.

In terms of price seasonality, spring and autumn are the two shoulder seasons when resort vacation prices drop and room availability increases. If your trip plans aren’t tied down by the school calendar, take advantage of the cheaper prices and quieter beaches!

Is the Dominican Republic welcoming to LGBTQ2+ couples?

The Dominican Republic is one of the minority Caribbean countries that does not have any laws against same-sex partnerships.

That being said, same-sex marriage is not yet legal, and LGBTQ2+ people don’t have legal protection against discrimination.

For guidance on planning a destination wedding or for tips on LGBTQ+ friendly travel destinations, talk to one of our LGBTQ+ Travel Experts! We’ll be happy to help.

What is the most romantic resort in the Dominican Republic?

If you’re asking what’s the absolute dreamiest, bucket-list, most mind-boggingly luxurious romantic getaway is… we’d have to go with Amanera on the Dominican Republic’s gorgeous north coast.

Oh, you meant the most romantic Dominican resort where you can afford to stay more than one night? That’d be Zoëtry Agua Punta Cana, one of favourite resorts for couples’ escapes. Keep reading to find out why!
