Hello, first time watching your videos. I am in the beautiful DR as well, here until Nov. 9, 2021, but to return in March or April 2022 where as my partner teaches in Cap Cana. We are also from NS!!
Hello there! I'm from Santo Domingo, born and raised and I really recommend you to visit the "Colonial Zone" so you learn about our history. Here is s list of my favorite beach : -Playa Rincón, Las Galeras -Cayo Levantado, Samaná -Bahía de las Águilas -Isla Saona (gooo!) -Punta Rucia -Playa Cosón, Las Terrenas -Lanza del Norte, Las Galeras From bávaro the easiest one would be "Saona Island" and maybe "Bayahibe" it is a MUST! In case you didn't know you are in the Atlantic Ocean side of the Island (but no one say it because The Caribbean sells more) , which tends to have more sea weeds and be more rough. The Caribbean side is quiter and the color also to my taste is better. Dominican food you should try : -Moro de guandules con coco y pezcado -Sancocho - Habichuela con dulces -Mangu con los 3 golpes -Empada de yuca -Donplines ahogado en queso -Sancocho de habichuelas I can go on and on but this at least should give you a good idea of where to start. Also my my favorite juices "Morisoñando" or "Mango+chinola" ♥️ Much love and blessing♥
Hi guys just saw your first video and I like the fact you'll be in the country for a while. I'm Dominican living in the United States and I would like to suggest you to go to the central parts of the country which are rarely covered by international RUclipsrs, but had a lot of potential and interesting places, please visit Jarabacoa and constanza. Best of luck in your channel 🙏🏻.
What a lovely surprise! The DR. I have many French-speaking relatives who live there and in Haiti. It's an amazing island! The food is so good but not quite as spicy as it is on the other side of the island. Ah....the tropics, right on the cusp and for the duration of another crappy Canadian winter. Good for you! Enjoy.
Such a beautiful place! My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary on that very beach area. It was very romantic and magical! But that was long ago. I hope you two enjoy your time there (and watch out for those big spiders, lol). Also, I lived in Nova Scotia for a couple of years and found it quite beautiful. I am in Ontario now. All the best to you!
Emptyness is typical for October, off-season. Picks up week of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Summer, is super crowded, you will meet people from around the world there, if you stay longer when you planned.
This is…so surreal 🤯! Both of you have always strived for positivity in your videos during difficult times but I can tell happiness levels have gone through the roof in this episode, which is so good to see, and I look forward to soaking up the sun and good vibes right along with you. With the awesome content available on this channel, the goal of 100,000 subscribers will be reached in no time!
Great to see you guys out there again. We had been considering the Dominican Republic ourselves. By the time you're done there, you will be our personal travel guides. 🤣 And why not it worked great for the Tulum / Akumal area. Still the best tacos I have ever had. Enjoy the adventure!
We spent three weeks there back in 2009 at the end of August into September. My husband was on leave from his deployment to Afghanistan. We stayed at the Bahia Principe on the beach you are on, it’s up across from the rusty ship wreck. We loved it there, although if we had known better we would have moved around the island and stayed at a couple other resorts. We visited Santa Domingo, a coffee plantation, cigar factory, a diving day and a jungle/beach visit. The people there are so nice
Look at you lucky ducks!! So happy to see you traveling again, gives us all hope we can break free again too!! 🤙😋 Looking forward to following along this adventure!
Hi Anna and Trevor! This is so exciting. My husband and I live near Toronto and own a condo in Punta Cana - which we rent out when we aren't enjoying it ourselves. I am so excited to see the places you will go to visit and things you will do. We have been going down there for years and always love to learn of new things! It's a beautiful country. Enjoy!!
@@kellijomatthewsbeachbum The link is in a different video called 'Don't stay at a Resort in Punta Cana'. Links are always in the description when we share them
@@DelightfulTravellers It takes me to Airbnb (to sign up) but not to the link for your place? Maybe I missed it?! I’m an Airbnb host so I’m already signed up!
Enjoy 😊! Wish I were there…. Only been to Playa Dorada and Samana (I’d picked both areas for the green hills backdrop though the sand isn’t as white and the water as calm & shallow), stayed at all inclusives, and only ventured out for walks around those 2 towns. Looking forward to your next videos.
Hi Anna and Trevor, so you did go to Dominican Republic. (👍🏼Good guess, eh?) Wow, you'll be there for 4-6 months.... AMAZING ❣️ What are your plans? Can't wait to follow your journey...I've been to D.R a couple times - be safe. xo
Covid hit the tourist attraction really hard but it is opening slowly. I love Barcelo Barvaro Beach the place I stayed in March 2020 when the country decide to close the country. I am now back in the states. First tip is to find a restaurant you like to eat at night that required reservation. Those restaurants reservation fill out quickly. Second tip is to wake up early in the morning to see the sunrise. Bring a beach towel and some warm clothing then hit the free buffet for breakfast. Most of the orange juice and fruit juice are from powder. If you do find a fruit station in the restaurant that has a blender, you can ask them to make you a local fruit juice ex, Chinola, Papaya, Pinenaple etc. I am not sure if the resort you are staying offer local traditional food but the Sancocho, Mofongo, Habichuela con arroz, habichuela dulce (desert), fried plantain can be found in local restaurant. Most of the beaches outside of the resort, they have places where local folks visit the public beach and eat the fried fish with tostones, and janikekes. If you are in Santo Domingo and want a simple local sandwich Barra Payan is the way to go. Food is cheap and fresh juice is available.
Hello from Ottawa, looks amazing so happy you are traveling again. Looks like a nice option for my wife and I this winter, as long as I can find a resort that will give us a PCR test to return home.
Cannot wait to hear more about your adventures. Not surprised you picked the DR - we are planning a trip there in the next two months. The beach looks as lovely as I remember and it does look more empty...for now. Enjoy
Who knew? 😂😂 Looks wonderful guys, great to see you doing tropical again! Time to clean the sand and salt off the lens and dig out the famous pink pineapple shirt! Thrilled to be travelling with you once again 🤗
So freaking happy to see you guys traveling somewhere warm again...I'm hoping to get to Santa Clara next month and Santo Domingo in the spring with my girlfriend...I've been missing the tropical beauty of beaches and palms...enjoy the culture,and delicious food...have a cocktail and cigar for me...it's getting cold here in Ontario again,( -1 last night ) its great to see the warmth. Looking forward to seeing more posts and videos...blessings to you both.
Love that beach . Travelled 🧳 there in late March before pandemic and stayed in an all inclusive resort and the food and service was great. Would definitely go back. By the way, new subscriber. Thank you for sharing 🍺🇨🇦
Great you guys are traveling outside of Canada!!!! So excited for the coming videos. Love you guys! Keep up the good work. Enjoy traveling, someone is definitely jealous....... 🤣 Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
We are going to the DR in December as we have done for the past 3 years. The first year we went only because of the amazing deals offered. Remember when all the tourists were dying there a few years ago? We decided to take a risk. We stayed at the Riu Republica. All inclusive deal for both of us, including airfare, was under $1,400. We'd been to the DR for the day on cruises, that's all we knew! We have absolutely fallen in love with it. Beautiful pristine beaches for miles and miles. After the DR, we head to Puerto Vallarta for 2 months. I'm going to follow you guys and see where you go!
So far so good here in the DR as well. We're really liking it and can't wait to see more. We always wanted to visit PV as well. Maybe we will at some point - Trevor
All that tourist dying was a bad campaign because the previous president signed a deal with China and USA advise us not to do it. The most famous one was the lady staying on the Majestic resort beaten supposedly by an employee and At the end it was her own husband who punched her because she had an affair with an employee. People believe everything they see on TV. Also the media did not said that most of the people who died had serious diseases and were mixing alcohol with prescription drugs, on top of the fact changing from a sedentary life to swimming, walking, different weather, Blah blah blah... Why we will attack our main source of economy, we actually love guys! 😂🤣😂 It's been always love! ♥
I am from Ontario Canada and currently in your area living here for 6 months. I was here last winter for 5 months during the pandemic. I enjoy spending my days at Flamingo or Soles Beach Bar. You were very close during your bach walk. Thursday night Oct 28 at Kat's Corner not far from Melia is having a Halloween Party with Roza an imazing musician. She sings at California Beach Bar (beside Lopesan Resort) each Saturday afternoon. Welcome to the DR.
The hose was frozen this morning. Prefect time to tuck in and catch up on the Delightful Travelers 😊 so happy to see you guys out and enjoying warm weather! When you get back to Canada (when it's warmer) we need to actually meet up and enjoy an adult bevvy!
We are from Montreal and going to the Hard Rock Punta Cana for 2 weeks starting Nov 17 Loved your video. We love the HR and when we’re there in Nov usually every year there are never a lot of people. Usually the busy season starts on Dec through April
So very happy for you to be travelling again outside of Canada. I found you at the beginning of the Philippines series, and have enjoyed you ever since. Bring on more and more of the world. By the way, our final 🤞lockdown is coming to an end, and Australia is opening up. Travel here we come world. Stay safe.
Yay! Great seeing you guys back in warm weather gear again! I have been to St. Thomas and St. John but not the Dominican. Looking forward to more vlogs from this new place!
I would have guessed somewhere in Mexico with the initial announcement. Very interested in seeing how you keep yourself entertained in the DR for 4-6 months. Very interesting about the covid testing protocols to enter the DR. Enjoy the trip!
We’re actually planning a family vacation to the Royalton Bravaro in Punta Cana. So this is perfect. Keep in mind that October is the tail end of hurricane season. So that’s likely a good reason why there are so few people on the beach (and likely overall).
Hello! I’m from the Dominican Republic from Santiago. Enjoy your vacation! Tomorrow I’m going to Punta Cana with my family so if you are still there maybe we can meet and I can recomend you a lot of places that are unknown for tourist but paradisiacal very very pretty
Hi again, Our first trip after vaccination was to the all inc. Hilton La Romana in Bayahibe. Just a beautiful beach and resort. Loved every minute of our stay.
I was there from Sept 28th until the October 5th. We stayed at the Occidental Punta Cana and it was my 3rd time there! Love the beach, the resort and everything about Punta Cana. Looking forward to watching your videos!!
Good time to leave NS as it is getting colder quick. I have been to most areas in DR and my favourite area was Samana. You won't get as harassed there as well. Have a great stay.
if you don't go to the cibao region you haven't been in Dominican Republic... by far the best region with beaches and mountains, i recommand for beaches samana and for mountains jarabacoa.
Great go hear.. I ll be there on the 5th of Nov at our favorite resort which is the Iberstar grand Bavaro..the swim out rooms and all you can eat lobster is always a winner for us.
Thanks for the video! Can't wait to see your next video with your review. My husband and I decided we want to take an impromptu trip next month and we are thinking an all-inclusive. We were looking at Mexico but the prices are so expensive. The Dominican seems a lot more reasonably priced. Looking forward to your review on the place your staying at! My only requirement is an excellent, long ocean/beach and it looks like this place checks that box :)
This place definitely meets your requirements. Stay tuned! That said, not everything is perfect at the resort. We'll also show you what it's like outside the resorts in the town itself 🤗- Anna
So glad to see you back in a tropical place..not that I didn’t enjoy watching your vlogs from our beautiful Canada..🇨🇦😁🤗 Watching your videos of the beautiful Dominican Republic, will get us through our Canadian winter until we fly to Big Island Hawaii for a month, in 2022..😁🤗👍🏻
We are so happy to see you two traveling internationally again you both have that smile ear to ear and a pep in your step!!! 25 days we will be walking that beach too!!!! Counting down the days!! Yippee!!!! Stay safe!! Look forward to watching your adventures!!...Viv
@@DelightfulTravellers Bahia Principe Aquamarine but trying to upgrade to the Ambar we have been there twice and love it!!...Can't wait to walk that beach!!...Viv
Hi Trevor and Anna. I just came across your video and subscribed! I'm delighted to know that you are fellow Canadians! My wife and I have a trip planned to Punta Cana next year! I won a trip there back in 2019 but couldn't go before covid hit. So they have been so gracious to extend the timeline. So seeing this video has me really excited to go! You two have amazing personalities! I will definitely be trying the "presidente" beer! Thanks for the tip Anna!
Glad to see you again in the dominican republic it will probably be our destination for this winter too for the fourth time but we will follow you for the next weeks for new ideas
Love the DR beautiful beaches and resorts locals are very friendly, hope you enjoy have a lots of fun! Maybe try bachata and merengue clases fun fun fun🏖☀️
How fun and delightful to see you two on a tropical beach again! El Nido popped into my head immediately. LOL It'll be fun seeing you two explore the Dominican Republic!
@@DelightfulTravellers Great, that was going to be my question - are you going to Cabarete? So miss Cabarete! Looking forward to your videos from there!
You should go to la presa de Tavera in sabana Iglesia, Santiago it's really beautiful there you will enjoy it and you can even take a boat to get there!
So great to see you guys in a fabulous tropical paradise. I'm looking out for the pink pineapple t-shirt though, a sure sign that the weather is lekker warm. Take care.
So my wife and I went there in May for 5 year anniversary in the beach was a little more busy than that but not too much. Great time to travel it's really nice beautiful place to visit we're trying to go back enjoy
Suggestion: Samana peninsula is a must. In samana there is a beach that you guys must visit, it’s called playa Ermitaño, you will not regret it, it’s one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen
From Nova Scotia. Heading to DR- Juan Dolio after Xmas for a few weeks. Flying in Xmas Day actually :) Staying at a condo there, will be first time staying locally off resort. Looking forward to watching your upcoming videos. Maybe Juan Dolio is on your visit list? :)
Nice! We're from NS as well and have loads of videos on the province (not sure if you know that 😀) You're going to luv the DR. Staying off resort is the way to go! - Trevor

Hello, first time watching your videos. I am in the beautiful DR as well, here until Nov. 9, 2021, but to return in March or April 2022 where as my partner teaches in Cap Cana. We are also from NS!!
@@lizettedentremont5889 Oh wow.. have so much fun in the DR 😀
Hello there!
I'm from Santo Domingo, born and raised and I really recommend you to visit the "Colonial Zone" so you learn about our history.
Here is s list of my favorite beach :
-Playa Rincón, Las Galeras
-Cayo Levantado, Samaná
-Bahía de las Águilas
-Isla Saona (gooo!)
-Punta Rucia
-Playa Cosón, Las Terrenas
-Lanza del Norte, Las Galeras
From bávaro the easiest one would be "Saona Island" and maybe "Bayahibe" it is a MUST!
In case you didn't know you are in the Atlantic Ocean side of the Island (but no one say it because The Caribbean sells more) , which tends to have more sea weeds and be more rough. The Caribbean side is quiter and the color also to my taste is better.
Dominican food you should try :
-Moro de guandules con coco y pezcado
-Sancocho
- Habichuela con dulces
-Mangu con los 3 golpes
-Empada de yuca
-Donplines ahogado en queso
-Sancocho de habichuelas
I can go on and on but this at least should give you a good idea of where to start.
Also my my favorite juices "Morisoñando" or "Mango+chinola"
♥️ Much love and blessing♥
My friend moved from US and lives in Punta Cana and she loves it! Such beautiful views!!!
She made a great choice. We're finding lots of great things to do in Punta Cana - Anna

We spent three weeks there back in 2009 at the end of August into September. My husband was on leave from his deployment to Afghanistan. We stayed at the Bahia Principe on the beach you are on, it’s up across from the rusty ship wreck. We loved it there, although if we had known better we would have moved around the island and stayed at a couple other resorts.
We visited Santa Domingo, a coffee plantation, cigar factory, a diving day and a jungle/beach visit.
The people there are so nice

We are going to the DR in December as we have done for the past 3 years. The first year we went only because of the amazing deals offered. Remember when all the tourists were dying there a few years ago? We decided to take a risk. We stayed at the Riu Republica. All inclusive deal for both of us, including airfare, was under $1,400. We'd been to the DR for the day on cruises, that's all we knew! We have absolutely fallen in love with it. Beautiful pristine beaches for miles and miles. After the DR, we head to Puerto Vallarta for 2 months. I'm going to follow you guys and see where you go!
So far so good here in the DR as well. We're really liking it and can't wait to see more. We always wanted to visit PV as well. Maybe we will at some point - Trevor
All that tourist dying was a bad campaign because the previous president signed a deal with China and USA advise us not to do it.

Our first trip after vaccination was to the all inc. Hilton La Romana in Bayahibe. Just a beautiful beach and resort. Loved every minute of our stay.
I was there from Sept 28th until the October 5th. We stayed at the Occidental Punta Cana and it was my 3rd time there! Love the beach, the resort and everything about Punta Cana. Looking forward to watching your videos!!
Oh Wow I'm glad You guys love my country, Enjoy! 🏖🍹🍻🍺
We love it here! 🤗- Anna
Good time to leave NS as it is getting colder quick. I have been to most areas in DR and my favourite area was Samana. You won't get as harassed there as well. Have a great stay.
if you don't go to the cibao region you haven't been in Dominican Republic... by far the best region with beaches and mountains, i recommand for beaches samana and for mountains jarabacoa.
you have to go to la vega, santiago, puerto plata coastline, cabrera and in the south region bahia de las aguilas.
Samana folks!!! ✌🏻 Waaaay better than Punta Cana more things to see.
Punta Cana is just the start of our trip. We'll be seeing lots of the DR - Anna
DR just has it All!!!
I just got back from the domican .on Friday I.stayed at the grand bahia .it was busy lots of people..I been to.the same resort 3 times..i love it
Stayed many years ago at the Melia and loved it, staff were wonderful!
The staff here is fantastic! - Anna
Great go hear.. I ll be there on the 5th of Nov at our favorite resort which is the Iberstar grand Bavaro..the swim out rooms and all you can eat lobster is always a winner for us.
Wao excellent place. Have fun guys and enjoy the Caribbean
So glad to see you guys traveling again
Thanks for the video! Can't wait to see your next video with your review. My husband and I decided we want to take an impromptu trip next month and we are thinking an all-inclusive. We were looking at Mexico but the prices are so expensive. The Dominican seems a lot more reasonably priced. Looking forward to your review on the place your staying at! My only requirement is an excellent, long ocean/beach and it looks like this place checks that box :)
This place definitely meets your requirements. Stay tuned! That said, not everything is perfect at the resort. We'll also show you what it's like outside the resorts in the town itself 🤗- Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers awesome! Can't wait to see :)

Hi Trevor and Anna. I just came across your video and subscribed! I'm delighted to know that you are fellow Canadians! My wife and I have a trip planned to Punta Cana next year! I won a trip there back in 2019 but couldn't go before covid hit. So they have been so gracious to extend the timeline. So seeing this video has me really excited to go! You two have amazing personalities! I will definitely be trying the "presidente" beer! Thanks for the tip Anna!
I think you're going to love it here! It will be worth the wait 🤗More videos coming up - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers awesome! I'll be watching for them for sure!
Oct is still the middle of hurricane season, so, this in concert with pandemic concerns, I’m not surprised it’s that quiet.
DR cool. Be Safe. Looking forward to the return to tropical videos.
Wow great to see you from Halifax ! Have fun
🤗
You two young lucky snowbirds... enjoy the DR
Thanks for watching! - Anna

How fun and delightful to see you two on a tropical beach again! El Nido popped into my head immediately. LOL It'll be fun seeing you two explore the Dominican Republic!

@@DelightfulTravellers I would agree -- no getting stuck. . .anywhere!
CONGRATZ!!! Travel happy and travel safe :)
Welcome to The DR - come visit us up on the north coast - Salud!
We're basically moving up there Nov 1st to Cabarete and 'living there' all winter 😀 - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers Great, that was going to be my question - are you going to Cabarete? So miss Cabarete! Looking forward to your videos from there!
You should go to la presa de Tavera in sabana Iglesia, Santiago it's really beautiful there you will enjoy it and you can even take a boat to get there!
So great to see you guys in a fabulous tropical paradise. I'm looking out for the pink pineapple t-shirt though, a sure sign that the weather is lekker warm. Take care.
I sadly don’t have that shirt with me this time. I’ll have to find another 😀 - Trevor
Nice to see you guys traveling again. Stay safe
Been there in December and January, many, many times! usually the beach is non stop people! Enjoy
So my wife and I went there in May for 5 year anniversary in the beach was a little more busy than that but not too much. Great time to travel it's really nice beautiful place to visit we're trying to go back enjoy
Omgosh! I prefer that setting right now. Maybe I should I just "remote work" ... from DR. Lol.
that's what we're doing! 🤷🏻 Do it! - Trevor
Will be in punta cana Feb. Can't wait
you have to go and spend some time in sosua! small town feel, low prices, everyone is super friendly and the best beaches!
We will be up around that area a lot! - Anna
Always wondered what its like in Punta Cana. Hope you give us the good and bad lol. Thanks and take care. Cheers!!
It looks beautiful there (especially right now! Today is N.S. It is cold and windy! 🥶)
Enjoy the sun and stay well!
What a awesome video... I am going in 2 weeks for the first time !!
Suggestion: Samana peninsula is a must. In samana there is a beach that you guys must visit, it’s called playa Ermitaño, you will not regret it, it’s one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen
We'll be going there at some point for sure! - Anna
