Caribbean Weather

Even from space, the Caribbean’s shallow cays and coral lagoons loom impossibly blue – a testament to the archipelago’s invitingly warm waters – and illustrating the hot weather these islands are blessed with year-round. Welcome to one of the finest climates in the Americas. Cooling north-easterly trade winds moderate the Caribbean’s on-land temperatures to a tropical 24°C to 32°C at sea level, and these readings will tend not to fluctuate regardless of the time of day, month or season. Pretty predictable, but variations in temperature do occur at higher altitudes, with hilly regions being slightly cooler. Rather than use a conventional four-season model to explain any meteorological variances, an understanding of the Caribbean’s weather patterns is probably best divided neatly into two: the rainy season – May to October – and the dry season, which corresponds to our winter. Don’t be discouraged though – even during the so-called rainy season, wet conditions fluctuate and showers can be short-lived. Leeward sides of mountainous islands are known to remain dry throughout. So, if you’re beach ready and aching for some fun in the sun, the Caribbean is waiting to grace you with its gorgeous weather. The boxes are ticked for blue skies, clear waters and summer heat.

7 great all-inclusive hotels in the Caribbean

By Condé Nast Traveller

This is the Caribbean in a new grown-up guise, where the hotels eschew tropical bedspreads and cane furniture, buffet suppers and weak cocktails for a much smarter proposition. The term all-inclusive now means chic bedrooms, sophisticated restaurants, mixologists behind the bar and even a spa where treatments don't always cost extra. Wind down and tuck in, all without the worry of a bill piling up. These winter-sun hideaways are the best of the islands.

BEST ALL-INCLUSIVE FOR... FAMILIES

Coconut bay beach resort & spa, st lucia.

Just a five-minute transfer from the airport, Coconut Bay could not be easier to get to. And once here you can just stay put: the hotel is spread across 85 acres of land so there's plenty to explore. The beach is a mile-long stretch, there are five pools to splash about in, a huge kids' club and St Lucia's biggest water park. At the Surf Shack, children can try watersports without adding to the final bill, while the pool bar has a kid-only side for free-rein ordering of mocktails. Parents, meanwhile, can tuck into the rum punches, and with nine restaurants to choose from you can feast on jerk chicken wings at Capri, Asian food at Silk or head to Calabash for a refined take on Creole cuisine. The considered layout means that couples desiring peace and quiet can check in to the Harmony wing, and anyone travelling with the whole circus in tow can have the run of the rest.

Prices from £1,039 per adult and £825 per child, based on two adults and two kids sharing. Seven nights all-inclusive. Save up to £2,500 on your stay. Free return airport transfers and $500 resort coupons towards in-house services. View all St.Lucia offers at kenwoodtravel.co.uk

BEST ALL-INCLUSIVE FOR... FOODIES

Moon palace jamaica.

Floors of gleaming marble and a wall of Apple Macs at reception are not what you might expect in Jamaica. But the contemporary design gives this beach hotel a cosmopolitan vibe, and the food follows suit. It's not just a selection of buffets. Instead you can work your way around the five restaurants and six bars, trying seared rib eye at the steakhouse, risotto at Gondola, California rolls at the sushi bar, teppanyaki action at Momo and grilled seafood at Pier 8. The baristas know their frappuccinos from their flat whites so caffeine junkies are well looked after. And for those with a sweet tooth there's every sticky patisserie treat imaginable at La Boulangerie. Plus there's 24-hour room service, all part of the deal. If you can tear yourself away, the water treatments in the spa get rave reviews, and you're moments from the nightlife of downtown Ocho Rios.

Prices from £1,649 per adult, based on two sharing, for seven nights all-inclusive. Save up to 30 per cent on your stay. $1,500 resort credit when you travel between 1 Oct-20 Dec 2017 and 4 Jan-30 June 2018. View all Jamaica offers at kenwoodtravel.co.uk

BEST ALL-INCLUSIVE FOR... WATER BABIES

Now onyx punta cana, dominican republic.

This is the perfect hotel for anyone serious about swimming. Some of the junior suites sit next to the shared swim-up pools, which means you can roll straight out of bed into the blue. Suites in the Preferred Club area have their own plunge pools. And all rooms throughout have an outdoor whirlpool bathtub on their balconies. Beyond are five larger pools to dive into, not to mention the properly soft sandy beach and private driftwood style cabanas with waiter service. The design throughout is funky and contemporary (the hotel has only been open for a year). Rooms are clean-lined and sharp, with bamboo details and sliding wooden panels. Help yourself to the minibar and when you've exhausted eating at the seven restaurants, the burger bar and the ice-cream sundae stand, you can head next door to sister hotel Breathless to try its menus too, at no extra cost.

Prices from £1,069 per adult, based on two sharing, for seven nights all-inclusive. Save up to 30 per cent. View all Dominican Republic offers at kenwoodtravel.co.uk

BEST ALL-INCLUSIVE FOR... HIGH ROLLERS

Sandals royal barbados.

The shiniest, next-level all-inclusive hotel in the Caribbean. The Sandals Royal Barbados is shaking things up. The all-suite resort (adults only) will open its doors just before Christmas next door to its sister Sandals Barbados, which means guests will have access to all the fun and games at both properties. But many won't want to leave the Royal. It'll be full of firsts for the island - the first cantilevered rooftop pool, the first rooftop bar, the first hotel bowling alley (just four lanes so you can take it all for yourselves), even the first men's barbershop. This is a grown-up playground, where the four bars (stiff cocktails and well-chosen wines) and five sophisticated restaurants (Chinese-Japanese fusion, white-gloved French dining, relaxed American) are complimented by a vast 15,000 square foot spa and the option of butler service and a chauffeured Rolls-Royce airport transfer. Also on tap are catamaran trips, deep-sea fishing excursions and scuba diving - all included in the price of your holiday. And the best bit? You don't have to reach for your wallet once.

Prices from £1,825 per adult, based on two sharing, for seven nights Luxury Included®. Save up to 60 per cent and free return airport transfers. View all Barbados offers at kenwoodtravel.co.uk

BEST ALL-INCLUSIVE FOR... STYLISH COUPLES

Unico 20 87, cancun.

Cool modern touches such as the Acapulco chairs on each terrace and mid-century-modern styling in the rooms set UNICO 20 87 apart as one of the most exciting openings on the Riviera Maya. With its polished concrete floors, basket weave lampshades and dramatic teak four-poster beds, the rooms wouldn't be out of place in a design magazine. Relevant local nods such as the ornate carved Aztec-style mirrors in the bathrooms and the home-grown Mexican brand Botanicus bath products help the hotel feel rooted in its location. And everything in this sophisticated adults-only spot is part of the package. The three restaurants feel urban and trendy, the mixologists at the bar shake up a mean Margarita and the Mayan coffee is not to be missed. There's even a cigar bar in the Cuban-style lounge. The spa is a destination in its own right and when booking treatments, all you pay is the gratuity fee, which means a massage a day, if you can fit it in between watching films under the stars, excursions to Chichen Itza or Tulum or sunbathing by your private swim-up pool.

Prices from £1,599 per adult, based on two sharing. Seven nights all-inclusive. Save up to 25 per cent, plus unlimited selected spa treatments, excursions and services at the hotel (subject to the 20 per cent service fee). View all Cancun offers at kenwoodtravel.co.uk

BEST ALL-INCLUSIVE FOR... A LAID-BACK VIBE https://www.kenwoodtravel.co.uk/caribbean/aruba/amsterdam-manor-hotel/?utm_source=conde_nast&utm_medium=native&utm_campaign=caribbean_escapes

Amsterdam manor, aruba.

Low-key and chilled out, this is a family-run hotel that encapsulates that mellow ambience people flock to the Caribbean for. Set just over the road from Eagle Beach (the best on the island) with its icing sugar sand, clear turquoise waters and palapa umbrellas rustling in the breeze, it's a great location. The hotel has plenty of dedicated sun beds and beach towels laid out along the shore. And there are more lined up around the pool too. The building itself is painted a sunny yellow with nods to Dutch colonial architecture. Rooms come with kitchenettes but no one goes on holiday to cook, so sign up for the all-inclusive option and then cruise from the substantial help-yourself breakfast, to lunch at Passions Beach Bar, and supper at Tulip Caribbean Brasserie or the excellent Mango's Restaurant, stopping along the way at the Horizon's Bar for a sundowner or two, or a cocktail at the manager's weekly drinks party.

Prices from £2,039 per adult, based on two sharing, for seven nights all-inclusive. View all Aruba offers at kenwoodtravel.co.uk

BEST ALL-INCLUSIVE FOR... TOTAL RELAXATION

Blue waters, antigua.

It's no wonder that elegant, old-school Blue Waters is chock-full of repeat visitors. After all, it has a great setting on one of the island's 365 each-better-than-the-last beaches, a warm and loyal staff, amazing sea views, immaculate bougainvillaea-filled tropical gardens and very good food. A recent revamp has seen a smartening up of already lovely rooms, where you can sleep with the windows open to hear the crash of waves on the sand. Here is somewhere to wind down and switch off - a peaceful, restorative resort. Everything is taken care of and included - the minibar restocked daily, afternoon tea served just when you start to feel peckish. Slow down to Caribbean time, pop the children in to the crèche, snooze on a sunbed, head to the beauty salon for a facial and pedicure. Anyone feeling particularly energetic can sign up for a sailing lesson or cooking programme. It doesn't get much busier than that.

Prices from £1,719 per adult, based on two sharing, for seven nights all-inclusive. Save up to 35 per cent. View all Antigua offers at kenwoodtravel.co.uk

All are based on return economy flights, excluding transfers unless otherwise stated. Prices correct as of 1st November 2017.

Dominican Republic

Travel Advisory June 6, 2023

Dominican republic - level 2: exercise increased caution.

Reissued with updates to health information.

Exercise increased caution in the Dominican Republic due to crime.

Country Summary:  Violent crime, including armed robbery, homicide and sexual assault is a concern throughout the Dominican Republic. The development of a professional tourist police corps, institution of a 911 system in many parts of the country, and a concentration of resources in resort areas means these tend to be better policed than urban areas like Santo Domingo. The wide availability of weapons, the use and trade of illicit drugs, and a weak criminal justice system contribute to the high level of criminality on the broader scale.

Read the country information page for additional information on travel to the Dominican Republic.

If you decide to travel to the Dominican Republic:

• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Do not physically resist any robbery attempt.
• Do not display signs of wealth, such as wearing expensive watches or jewelry.
• Follow the advice of resort and tour operators regarding local safety and security concerns.
• Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive Alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
• Follow the Department of State on Facebook and Twitter .
• Review the Country Security Report for the Dominican Republic.
• Prepare a contingency plan for emergency situations.  Review the Traveler’s Checklist .
• Visit the CDC page for the latest Travel Health Information related to your travel.

Entry, Exit and Visa Requirements

Visas are not required for visits shorter than 30 days. Visit the  Embassy of the Dominican Republic  website for current visa information.

All visitors to the Dominican Republic are charged a $10 tourist card fee that is incorporated into airline charges. Cruise passengers must obtain a tourist card if they are disembarking for longer than 24 hours. Once used, the card allows for stays up to 30 days but can be extended at the General Directorate of Migration in Santo Domingo.

Contact the  Migration Department  in Santo Domingo for visa extension requests. Failure to request an extension will result in a fine at the airport upon departure. The fines range from approximately $55 USD for one month to as high as $1,555 USD for overstays of 10 years or more.

All passengers are required to fill out an  E-Ticket  or paper form when entering or exiting the Dominican Republic. If using E-Ticket, a new form is required for each entry and exit and the code generated upon form completion can be presented at the airport on a digital device.

Visitors must have a ticket entering and leaving the country, the financial means to pay for their stay, and an address in the Dominican Republic where they will be staying.

Exit Requirements for Children:  Minors (children under 18) who are citizens (including dual citizens) or legal residents of the Dominican Republic, if not accompanied by both parents or legal guardian(s), are required to present official proof of parental consent to travel. Please see the Dominican  Migration Department's  website for detailed instructions on the required documents.

HIV/AIDS Restrictions:  Some HIV/AIDS entry restrictions exist for visitors to and foreign residents of the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic has restrictions on granting residency to people with HIV/AIDS. Please verify information with the Dominican Republic’s  Migration Department  before you travel.

Yellow Fever Vaccine:  Proof of vaccination against yellow fever is required for travelers entering the Dominican Republic from Brazil. Similar requirements may apply to those traveling from other  countries with yellow fever risk .

Find information on  dual nationality ,  prevention of international child abduction ,  and  customs regulations  on our websites.

Safety and Security

Crime:  Crime is a threat throughout the Dominican Republic. Tourist destinations are generally more policed than metropolitan areas.

• If robbed, hand over your personal belongings without resisting.
• Do not carry or wear valuable items that will attract attention.
• Be wary of strangers.
• Travel with a partner or group if possible.

International Financial Scams:  See the  Department of State  and the  FBI   pages for information.

Dating App Robberies:  Several U.S. citizen travelers in the Dominican Republic have reported that they were robbed by people they met through popular online dating applications. If meeting with strangers, you should strongly consider meeting only in public places and avoiding isolated locations where crimes are most likely to occur.

Demonstrations:  Avoid areas of demonstrations and exercise caution if you are in the vicinity of large gatherings or protests.

Victims of Crime:  Report crimes to the local tourist police (POLITUR) at 809-222-2026 or  911  and contact the U.S. Embassy at 809-567-7775. 911 is operational throughout the country apart from some areas located near the Haitian border. Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crime.

See our webpage on  help for U.S. victims of crime overseas .

• Help you find appropriate medical care.
• Assist you in reporting a crime to the police.
• Contact relatives or friends with your written consent.
• Provide general information regarding the victim’s role during the local investigation and following its conclusion.
• Provide a list of local attorneys.
• Provide our information on  victim’s compensation programs in the U.S.
• Provide an emergency loan for repatriation to the United States and/or limited medical support in cases of destitution.
• Replace a stolen or lost passport.

Domestic Violence:  U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence are encouraged to contact POLITUR (809-222-2026), the  National Police ( 809-682-2151), and the U.S. Embassy for assistance.

Sexual Assault:  Rape and sexual assault has been reported throughout the Dominican Republic, including at major resorts and hotels.

Notes for your safety:

• U.S. citizens have been targeted with date rape drugs.
• Sexual assault victims in the Dominican Republic should not expect the totality of assistance offered in the United States. Rape kits are often not available until the following morning and must be administered by Dominican authorities.
• Victims often have to request medication to avoid transmission of STDs and reduce the chances of pregnancy.
• Prosecution of a rape case moves forward very slowly. Dominican law may require the victim to return to the Dominican Republic at some stages of the judicial process.
• Security outside of the resort area, including beach areas, is unpredictable, especially at night.

Best Practices:

• Contact the police/hotel management if resort staff demonstrate unwanted attention.
• Victims of sexual/other assault should contact the police and the Embassy. Insist that hotel management take immediate action by contacting the police.
• In a resort, avoid secluded places. Always be accompanied by someone you know, even going to the restroom.
• Do not consume alcoholic beverages alone or with new acquaintances. Do not leave drinks unattended.  Know your limits and help your friends/travelling companions to remain safe.
• Shout for help immediately if threatened or made uncomfortable.
• Report suspicious activity, including excessive friendliness by hotel employees, to hotel management, the U.S. Embassy, and local police.
• Do not swim alone due to life-threatening undertows.

Tourism:  The tourism industry is unevenly regulated, and safety inspections for equipment and facilities may not commonly occur in all parts of the country. Hazardous areas and activities are not always identified with appropriate signage, and staff may not be trained or certified either by the host government or by recognized authorities in the field. In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is typically available only in or near major cities or major tourist zones. First responders may be unable to access areas outside of major cities or major tourist zones. The ability to provide urgent medical treatment may be limited. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance. See our webpage for more  information on insurance providers for overseas coverage . 

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits or licensing should seek information from the competent local authorities, prior to practicing or operating a business. 

Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on  crimes against minors abroad  and the  Department of Justice  website. Penalties for possessing, using, or trafficking illegal drugs in the Dominican Republic are severe, and convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences and heavy fines. Arrest Notification:  If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. See our webpage and  general information on legal assistance  for further information.

Counterfeit and Pirated Goods: Although counterfeit and pirated goods are prevalent in many countries, their possession they may still be illegal according to local laws. You may also pay fines or have to give them up if you bring them back to the United States. See the U.S. Department of Justice website for more information.

Faith-Based Travelers:  See the following webpages for details:

• Faith-Based Travel Information
• International Religious Freedom Report – see country reports
• Human Rights Report – see country reports
• Hajj Fact Sheet for Travelers
• Best Practices for Volunteering Abroad

LGBTI Travelers:  There are no legal restrictions on same-sex sexual relations or the organization of LGBTI events in the Dominican Republic.

See our LGBTI Travel Information page and section 6 of our Human Rights report for further details.

Travelers with Disabilities:  The law in the Dominican Republic prohibits discrimination against persons with physical, sensory, intellectual or mental disabilities, but the law is not enforced consistently. Social acceptance of persons with disabilities in public is not as prevalent as in the United States. Accessible facilities, information, communication/access to services and ease of movement is limited in most parts of the country. Large resorts and Santo Domingo may have some generally accessible infrastructure, but travelers should not expect the level available in the United States.

Students:  See our  Students Abroad  page and  FBI travel tips .

Women Travelers:  See our travel tips for  Women Travelers .

Disaster Preparedness:  Register with the Embassy on or before your arrival through our  travel registration website . In the event of a natural disaster or emergency, this will keep you informed. Additional information on  natural disasters and disaster preparedness  can be found on our website. Real Estate:  Property rights are irregularly enforced, and investors often encounter problems in receiving clear title to land. Consult a reputable attorney before signing documents or closing on any real estate transactions. Real estate investments by U.S. citizens have been subject to legal and physical takeover attempts. Absentee landlords and absentee owners of undeveloped land are particularly vulnerable. Consider purchasing title insurance. Scams:  Scammers often target elderly people by pretending to be a law enforcement official, an attorney, or a U.S. Embassy official, claiming that a loved one has been arrested overseas. The caller instructs the victim to wire money. Scammers sometimes impersonate family members, such as a scared grandchild. Contact the U.S. Embassy before wiring money to the Dominican Republic. When in doubt, try to contact your loved one directly.

For emergency services in the Dominican Republic, dial 911 or 809-202-2026 .

Ambulance services:

• The training and availability of emergency responders may be below U.S. standards.
• Ambulances are not present or reliable in most areas of the country. They are more reliable and available in Santo Domingo, Santiago, Punta Cana, and Puerto Plata.

We do not pay medical bills.  Be aware that U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not apply overseas.  Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance.

Medical Insurance:  Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments. See  our webpage  for more information on insurance providers for overseas coverage. Visit the  U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  for more information on type of insurance you should consider before you travel overseas.

We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation.

Always carry your prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor’s prescription. Check with the  Ministry for Public Health  to ensure the medication is legal in the Dominican Republic.

Vaccinations:  Be up-to-date on all  vaccinations  recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Further health information:

• World Health Organization
• U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  (CDC)

Air Quality:  Visit  AirNow Department of State  for information on air quality at U.S. Embassies and Consulates.

The U.S. Embassy maintains a  list of doctors and hospitals . We do not endorse or recommend any specific medical provider or clinic.

Health facilities in general:

• Public medical clinics lack basic resources and supplies.
• Hospitals and doctors require payment “up front” prior to service or admission.
• Private hospitals usually require advance payment or proof of adequate insurance before admitting a patient.
• Be aware that some hotels, resorts, etc. have exclusive agreements with medical providers, which have costs associated and may limit your choices in seeking emergency medical attention.
• Medical staff may speak little or no English.
• Generally, in public hospitals only minimal staff is available overnight in non-emergency wards. Consider hiring a private nurse or having family spend the night with the patient, especially a minor child.
• Patients bear all costs for transfer to or between hospitals.
• Psychological and psychiatric services are limited, even in the larger cities, with hospital-based care only available through government institutions

Medical Tourism and Elective Surgery

U.S. citizens have suffered serious complications or died during or after having cosmetic or other elective surgery. 

If you are considering travel to the Dominican Republic for cosmetic surgery, be mindful of the following:

• Have a medical evaluation from a U.S. doctor to determine if you are a good candidate for surgery.
• Before travel, carefully research the doctor (e.g. qualifications, experience performing the surgery, complication rate) and credentials of the recovery facility you plan to use.
• Share all health information (e.g. medical conditions, medications, allergies) with your doctor before your surgery.
• Obtain international travel insurance that covers medical evacuation back to the United States and repatriation of remains. For more information, see:  https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/insurance . 
• See a travel medicine professional in the United States at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to discuss healthy travel and to learn about specific risks related to your surgery and travel. For more information on the risks of medical tourism, see:  https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/medical-tourism .
• Your legal options in case of malpractice are very limited in the Dominican Republic. 

Tap Water:  Tap water is unsafe to drink. Bottled water and beverages are considered safe. Please note that many restaurants use tap water for ice.

Adventure Travel

• Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for more information about  Adventure Travel .

General Health

The following diseases are prevalent:

• Tuberculosis
• Chikungunya

Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for more information about  Resources for Travelers  regarding specific issues in the  Dominican Republic .

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety:  Driving conditions vary across the country. Drive defensively and with extreme caution.

Consider hiring a professional driver instead of driving yourself. You can hire licensed drivers who are familiar with local roads through local car rental agencies. In case of accidents, normally only the driver will be taken into custody. In 2019 six people died per day due to traffic accidents in the Dominican Republic.

Frequent hazards include:

• other drivers not using headlights and/or taillights after dark
• animals in the road
• missing manhole covers and large potholes
• uneven road surfaces
• scooters and motorcycles driving erratically and splitting lanes
• driving on sidewalks or against traffic
• intersections without stop signs
• unregulated and congested traffic patterns
• speeding or the running of stoplights
• heavy urban traffic

Traffic Laws:  Traffic laws are not enforced consistently. After an accident causing serious injury or death, authorities will often take the driver into custody, even if the driver is insured and appears to have not been at fault. Detentions frequently last until a judicial decision has been reached or until a waiver has been signed by the injured party.

Seat belts, and helmets for motorcyclists, are required by law. Violators may be fined. There are no child car seat laws. Police stop drivers using cell phones without a hands-free device.

Public Transportation:  Public transportation includes a metro and public bus system as well as shared bus or van taxis known as “guaguas” (converted vans or microbuses, often without doors). Guaguas run regular routes within urban areas and between towns in the countryside. Public buses and guaguas operating in the capital do not meet U.S. safety standards. Avoid unregulated taxis, which also often lack basic safety features. Use a reputable taxi service, either one recommended by your hotel or a well-known, vetted company. Rideshare services such as Uber are available in many parts of the country. Private bus lines travel between large cities and to popular tourist destinations. 

See our Road Safety page for more information. Visit the website of the Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Tourism and INTRANT (Instituto Nacional de Transito y Transporte Terrestre) the national authority responsible for road safety.

Aviation Safety Oversight:  The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the government’s Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of the Dominican Republic’s air carrier operations. Further information may be found on the  FAA’s website.   FAA’s safety assessment page .

Maritime Travel:  The U.S. Coast Guard has concerns about the security practices in the ports of the Dominican Republic. Until those concerns can be addressed, the Coast Guard advises that Mariners and passengers on commercial vessels traveling through the ports of the Dominican Republic should exercise caution.

Mariners planning travel to the Dominican Republic should also check for  U.S. maritime advisories and alerts . Information may also be posted to the  U.S. Coast Guard homeport website , and the  NGA broadcast warnings .

In Antigua and Barbuda, a Must-Visit Caribbean Event for Foodies

Air Europa Is Adding More Nonstop Dominican Republic Flights 

European low-cost carrier Air Europa is expanding in the Caribbean this summer, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The company is adding a route to a new destination in the Dominican Republic: Santiago, which has quietly been seeing a wave of new flight growth. 

The Spanish carrier will begin flying between Madrid and Santiago on June 27, the Dominican government confirmed this week. 

The route will operate twice each week, with service on Thursdays and Saturdays. 

Air Europa will be running the flights on Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, which the company said should shorten the flight time between the two cities by about an hour. 

Spain is increasingly an important source market for Caribbean tourism, both for the Dominican Republic and neighboring Puerto Rico, where Iberia continues to ramp up service.
