I'm thinking of a late one to the Dominican Republic in July.... anyone been?

I'm a cheap skate as you are all aware.... Bulgaria and Turkey are also on my list of possibles.

Advice from FSi'ers appreciated.

Aye. Sun/Mirror's �9.50 caravan treats. Do it every year with, the other half, a mate and his missus. Take the following:

Tennis set.
Football.
BBQ.
Drink (lots).
Food.

Will cost you less than a ton for the week.

Right then...that's good enough for me.... just booked 2 weeks in Puerto Plata, leaving late July.

Where did you stay mike? I booked the Clubhotel Riu Bachata.... looking forward to it now.

Few years back we went to an All inc. in Greece. Got a last min deal. �90 each, inc taxes. Booked a week off work and started looking a few days before. Booked it at about 10pm the day before and flew at 3ish the day after. Excellent. We had one day out the rest of the week was just chilling 'round the pool, eating and drinking. They had a Chinky Res, a greek one and a burger place. I'd say we spent less than �300 all week. Fecking Italians though; Arrogant as fuck. The English would be there in a que and they would walk to the front and demand to get served first.
