Product Description

Product Description
This is a comprehensive guide to the diverse Caribbean destination of the Dominican Republic. It includes a full-colour section introducing the highights of the Dominican Republic, as well as in-depth coverage of all the attractions, from colonial Santo Domingo to the sandy playgrounds that line the coasts. There are also discerning reviews of places to stay and eat, from beachside shacks to glitzy all-inclusive resorts. The author provides expert advice on ecotourism and adventure opportunities such as whale watching on the Samana Peninsula and hiking in the Cordillera Central. Insightful background on Dominican history, music, sport and wildlife is provided.

About the Author
Sean Harvey first visited the island of Hispaniola in 1990, during which he taught English in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, travelled extensively throughout the Dominican Republic and cultivated a lifelong addiction to the island and its people.

5.0 out of 5 stars By Far the Best book on the Dominican Republic, 14 Mar 2000

By	Janet Dempsey - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dominican Republic: The Rough Guide (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

If you're going to the Dominican Republic you've got to use this book. I brought four different books with me on my trip to the Dominican Republic and this was the one that I found was by far the most accurate. It had great, honest coverage of the all-inclusive hotels, comprehensive coverage of all the major tourism areas, like Santo Domingo's colonial district, Puerto Plata, Punta Cana, Cabarete etc. But what was most helpful were the terrific recommendations for sights to see that weren't in any other guidebook. My husband and I were able to explore Taino caves that have depictions of Christopher Columbus' three ships. These caves were in the middle of a wilderness national park and no other guide book even knew that they existed. Also by far the best restaurant and bar recommendations. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the second best guide book to DR, 6 Jun 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dominican Republic: The Rough Guide (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

We brought this and the Lonely Planet guide, the later generally being more accurate, particularly the maps. This was surprising because the Rough Guide was supposed to be newer. Overall though a good guidebook and enough to get you around the country to see a lot more than an all inclusive hotel and a beach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic essential book, 18 Nov 2006

By	George Holmes "dodholmes" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is clearly written by someone who knows the country well, and who has travelled extensively. It is rather excellent, and full of essential facts. At times it contains too much information, making decisions about where to go and stay more difficult, but rather this than too little information.

Far better than the useless Lonely Planet
