When it comes to having the best Dominican Republic vacation possible, choosing just the right resort is your most important decision. Location, rooms, food, ambience, activities… there’s so much to consider.

At Maritime Travel, we don’t take that decision lightly. We’ve polled our national network of friendly, knowledgeable travel counsellors… the ones who have personally visited each of these Dominican Republic resorts. We’ve also talked to our customers who have stayed at these select properties.

The result is the brochure you hold in your hands. With each turn of the page, you’ll receive an insider’s look into properties whose quality and value have earned them our “Counsellors’ Choice” seal of approval.

At Maritime Travel, customer satisfaction is our top priority. It’s not enough to recommend a nice property. It has to be the property that’s just right for you. We want you to have the best possible holiday so you’ll return to us for your next vacation, and refer us to your friends.

Once you’ve gotten the inside scoop on our recommended Dominican Republic resorts, and have chosen one or more that seem right, we encourage you talk to your Maritime Travel counsellor. After all, We Know Travel Best!
