The Dominican Republic is super cheap right now

In the midst of the winter doldrums, I was presented with an opportunity to head to warm Caribbean waters and go to the Dominican Republic. In the middle of a wet Pacific Northwest winter, this opportunity was totally irresistible. Palm trees, clear blue water and of course plenty of warm sunshine? Yes please. While we are no longer suffering the oppression of cold weather, short days and grey skies, a getaway to wind sand beaches and clear Caribbean waters is always welcome in my book, especially when you stumble across a deal that’s just too good to be true. Dominican Republic - Punta Cana Vacations

Turns out the struggling economy has made for some pretty fantastic Caribbean deals. This morning I found a fantastic deal to the Dominican Republic for 7-nights +air at an all inclusive resort for just $599. The deal is also advertising all inclusive nights at the resort for just $49 per person for those looking for a shorter trip.

For those wanting to escape to the Caribbean for a family vacation, I also found this great deal for family vacations to Punta Cana, where with the purchase of adult packages, 2 kids can stay, play and eat for free and pay only an additional $199 on airfare. For just a couple extra hundred bucks, you can pack your kids up and bring them along with you.
