'What’s not to like?’
Dominicans will tell you that it’s no accident their country is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Caribbean. ‘What’s not to like?’ they’d ask, pulling you out for a night soaked in rum and merengue dancing. It’s a hard argument to dispute. Santo Domingo’s Zona Colonial exudes romance; the coast is fringed with white beaches and scuba diving sites, while the more energetic can delve into the lush green interior to trek along mountain trails. In a country that lists baseball diamonds alongside churches as hallowed ground, you can expect fun to be taken seriously – why else insist on having not one but two annual carnival celebrations?
