The Caribbean
Caribbean resorts, reviewed after staying — that is the whole site. We sleep in the room, we pay the bill ourselves, and we score 14 things, from the bed and the buffet to the staff and the beach. Then we sell the room at one all-in price, taxes included.
Two countries so far. The Dominican Republic, where we have stayed in 22 Punta Cana resorts across Cap Cana, Cabeza de Toro, Bávaro, Arena Gorda, Macao, Uvero Alto and La Romana. And Mexico, with Cancún and the Riviera Maya. Below are the country pages and every review and guide that came out of those stays.
