Hi everyone,
I'm a new TUG member and forum participant. I'm trying to start planning a family vacation for next April/May timeframe. It'll be my parent's 50th anniversary and they wanted to celebrate with a family trip. Right now we are thinking the Dominican Republic. Does anyone suggest one area/town over others?
Previously I have only traded through San Francisco Exchange. However, I just signed up for membership with RCI as they have more resort options than SFX (just a little worried about the trading power as I have never used RCI before). I have not deposited my week yet (my resort is on the weeks, not points, system).
Looking at resorts that may have a larger availability, since we'll have 3 separate families going, and resorts that seem to be kid friendly I came upon Melia Caribe Tropical. Another family member who was searching for resorts came up Iberostar resorts in the DR. Both look nice and look like they have kids activities. Iberostar does not seem to be part of RCI but the rates are really reasonable ($100-$130 a night per person for all inclusive). The RCI all inclusive resorts look as though you have to pay the exchange fee (or extra vacation fee) plus the daily AI fee. Is that correct? Seems like it could really add up in some cases.
Any recommendations on either Melia Caribe Tropical or Iberostar resorts? Or any other family friendly resorts in the DR?
Thanks!
