Another word of warning!! Daughter and husband have been (fantastic holiday - all inclusive) but watch the local rum! - although I am very pleased with the result - my 4 year old grandaughter! Just a thought - not wishing to spoil the party or anything - didn't they suffer badly following a hurricane a litte while ago? - or am I remembering that wrong? Might be worth checking if it will affect your stay if that's the case. Have a great holiday wherever you decide to go Magsxxx

Went 2 yrs ago LOVED IT We were all inclusive , most places are.The people are great they may not have much but we didn't get any begging for things., We went on 2 trips the Outback safari , brilliant, saw how the DR folk live, the money from this trip helps support the schools and helps to get more educated, there were 3 classes a day starting at 8 am and ending at 9 pm so all ages could go some leave home at 5 am to get to school for 8. The other was the catamaran trip , if you go on this one go the last few days of the hol as it can really top up the tan !!! It is cheap to buy things out there. And the Rum is very drinkable Love Jan

hey everyone, thanks for all your responses, can't wait now! They've opened a park where you can swim with dolphins, feed sharks etc AND they do whale watching!!!! It looks lovely and REALLY need to get away!! Only thing im slightly concerned about is the fact that Im probably gonna put on a good couple of stone out there with all the 'free' food and drink! juliana xxxx
