Day-by-day itinerary
A sample plan. We adjust the days, pace and activities to fit your trip.
Arrive and unwind
Most resorts are a short transfer from the airport. Spend the afternoon by the water.
- Spa afternoon. Most large resorts have extensive spas and hydrotherapy circuits. A good plan for an arrival or departure day.
Lagoons and beach
Swim in spring-fed lagoons in the morning, then relax on the beach.
- Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park. A reserve with a dozen freshwater lagoons fed by underground springs, connected by easy jungle trails. Swimming is allowed in some of them.
- Beach and pool day. Stake out a spot on Bávaro or Macao beach and do very little. Most resort beaches have calm, reef-protected water.
Isla Saona
A full day by catamaran and speedboat to the island's palm-fringed beaches and natural pool.
- Isla Saona catamaran day. Sail from Bayahibe to this island in a national park for palm-fringed beaches and a stop at the shallow natural pool, where you can often spot starfish (look, don't lift them).
Your choice
Adventure on a buggy tour or stay at the pool; dinner out for a change of scene.
- Dune buggy countryside tour. Muddy, bumpy fun on rural roads, usually with stops at a cacao and coffee farm and a cave swim.
- Dinner out in Bávaro or Cap Cana marina. Step outside the buffet for fresh seafood and Dominican dishes at a beachfront restaurant or at the Cap Cana marina.
Departure
A last swim before your flight.
- Beach and pool day. Stake out a spot on Bávaro or Macao beach and do very little. Most resort beaches have calm, reef-protected water.

Pricing and policies, up front
Your quote shows the total trip price, per person and for your group, with taxes and the mandatory fees we can see included. Anything paid separately, such as some resort fees collected at check-in, local tourist taxes or checked bags on some fares, is listed clearly.
Many hotels, resorts, cruise lines and tour operators offer a deposit with the balance due before departure. Options vary by supplier, and we confirm them before you book.
Policies depend on the supplier and fare. We tell you the exact cancellation deadlines and any fees in writing before you commit.
Fares and rates change until they're booked. Some suppliers let us hold a rate briefly and many airfares can't be held, so we'll tell you what's possible for your trip.
You pay the travel provider directly, and RoamPlanned never takes payment for travel. How booking works.
