Punta Cana is a region in the far east side of Dominican Republic. The DR is an island in the Caribbean, half of which is Haiti. It is just a short distance north of Venezuela and Brazil and south of Cuba. This is a very European destination and it was wonderful to get to listen to so much Spanish and use it as well. We were almost the only Americans in the entire resort and it was great being able to sit among other people and not hear any English. When the languages are French and German and Portuguese you can find privacy even in the midst of a crowd.
The sun was scorching hot...just baking. It felt like when you stand too close to a campfire. The water temperature was perfect, the waves exactly right for swimming, the ocean bottom nothing but clean white sand. This may be one of the best beaches in the world and I'm afraid it has unfairly ruined any other beach we'll go to in the future.
