Tell us where you want to stay, your dates and how you arrive. We find the villa, apartment or hotel that fits and send you the options by WhatsApp or phone.
In short
At My Dominican Trip you book a stay by request: tell us the town, your dates, how many of you are travelling and what the place needs to have, and our team sends you villa, apartment or hotel options with their price by WhatsApp, phone or email. We can also pick you up when you land and add tours or a car to the same trip. Sending the request is free.
The main zones of the country, with their airport and the kind of places you find in each. Pick one and we look for options there.
The shortest distance between landing and a beach chair in the country. Most hotels are within half an hour of the terminal and the tour operators are all here.
Where to stay: All-inclusive resorts, plus villas inland for groups that want their own house.
A gated resort community just south of Punta Cana, with a marina for sport fishing, the white sand of Juanillo beach and the Punta Espada golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus.
Where to stay: Luxury hotels, villas with staff and condos around the marina.
The beach north of Punta Cana, with more hotels per kilometre than anywhere else in the country and shops and restaurants behind it.
Where to stay: Large all-inclusive resorts along the beach, apartments and villas set back from it.
The northern end of the Punta Cana coast: long, wide beaches lined with palms and much quieter than Bávaro, for those who want the resort without the crowd.
Where to stay: Large all-inclusive resorts, several adults-only; few villas.
A fishing village that became a small resort zone without losing the village. Boats to Saona and Catalina leave from here.
Where to stay: Mid-size resorts, apartments and villas; a handful of small hotels in the village.
A working city with a resort economy attached and the country's golf and marina destination. Casa de Campo and Altos de Chavón are here.
Where to stay: Resorts and villas around the marina, plus hotels in the city.
The closest beach to Santo Domingo and its airport. For anyone flying into SDQ it removes the long transfer.
Where to stay: Mid-range all-inclusives and apartment blocks along the shore.
A shallow, calm lagoon protected by a reef, the favourite weekend beach of Santo Domingo and the closest one to Las Américas airport. La Caleta underwater park is next door.
Where to stay: Small hotels, apartments and a few all-inclusives on the beach.
The oldest continuously inhabited European city in the Americas. The Zona Colonial is walkable and genuinely old; the rest is a working capital.
Where to stay: City hotels, boutique properties in the Zona Colonial, apartments.
A green peninsula with the country's most dramatic coastline. Humpback whales come into the bay between mid-January and mid-March.
Where to stay: Boutique hotels, eco-lodges and villas; few large resorts.
A beach town on the Samaná peninsula where you can walk to dinner, and where a week without a resort makes sense.
Where to stay: Villas, apartments and small hotels; a handful of all-inclusives outside town.
A fishing village at the tip of the Samaná peninsula and the door to some of the country's wildest beaches: Playa Rincón, Playa Frontón and Playa Madama.
Where to stay: Guesthouses, villas and small hotels; no large resorts.
The north coast and the country's original tourist zone: a real city with a Victorian centre, a cable car and a fort, with Sosúa and Cabarete beside it.
Where to stay: All-inclusives at Playa Dorada, town hotels, apartments in Sosúa and Cabarete.
Two beach towns east of Puerto Plata. Sosúa has a calm bay for swimming and snorkelling; Cabarete is one of the best-known kitesurfing and windsurfing beaches in the Caribbean.
Where to stay: Apartments, condos and small hotels near the beach; a few all-inclusives.
The mountains in the centre of the country: rivers, waterfalls such as Jimenoa and Baiguate, rafting on the Yaque del Norte and cool nights all year.
Where to stay: Cabins, mountain villas and small hotels; no all-inclusive resorts.
The highest valley in the Caribbean, at about 1,200 metres: strawberry and flower farms, pine forests, the Valle Nuevo national park and nights that can get close to freezing in winter.
Where to stay: Cabins with fireplaces, mountain villas and small hotels.
The newest resort zone in the country, on a bay between mountains and a beach. Fewer hotels, fewer people.
Where to stay: A small number of new all-inclusive resorts, plus villas.
The southwest, where the mountains meet the sea: rivers that run into the beach, larimar, Lake Enriquillo with its iguanas and, further on, Bahía de las Águilas, one of the most untouched beaches of the Caribbean.
Where to stay: Small hotels, eco-lodges and cabins; very few resorts.
A whole house with private bedrooms and shared living areas, often with its own pool. It suits families and groups that want space and their own schedule.
Your own kitchen and living room inside a building or a gated complex. It works well for longer stays and for people who want to cook some meals.
A house on the sand or a short walk from it, usually in quieter towns such as Las Terrenas, Juan Dolio or the coast around Samaná.
Daily service, restaurants and pools on site; in Punta Cana, Bávaro, Bayahibe and Puerto Plata many offer an all-inclusive plan.
Fill in the request form on this page with the town, your dates, the number of guests and bedrooms, your budget and what the place must have. Our team looks for villas, apartments or hotels that match and sends you the options with photos and price by WhatsApp, phone or email.
No. The request is free and does not ask for a card. It tells our team what you are looking for so we can send you real options and prices. If none of them suits you, you simply do not confirm, and nothing is charged or reserved in your name. You can also ask us to keep looking.
It depends on the trip. Punta Cana and Bávaro suit a first visit and large groups; Bayahibe is close to Saona and Catalina; Santo Domingo is for history and city life; Samaná and Las Terrenas are greener and quieter. The zone guide on this page compares them.
Villas, apartments, beach houses and hotels or resorts, depending on the zone. In the form you can choose one type or leave "no preference", and tick what matters, such as a private pool, beachfront, a full kitchen, parking or pets allowed. We only send places that meet it.
Yes. In the arrival step choose your airport, cruise terminal or marina, the date and time, and tick that you need us to pick you up. We include a private transfer to the place in the same quote, so the driver is waiting when you land. Add the flight or ship number so we can follow delays.
The form asks which method you prefer: card, PayPal, cash or bank transfer. It is a preference, not a payment. When we send the quote we tell you which methods that place accepts and how the booking is confirmed, before you pay anything. Nothing is charged through this form.
Yes. In the "Anything else?" step you can ask for a tour in the city where you will stay, a rental car or a private driver by the day. We answer everything together, so your accommodation, transport and activities are planned by the same team, with one point of contact for the whole trip.
The team receives your request the moment you send it, by email and WhatsApp, and answers by the channel you left: WhatsApp if your number has it, otherwise a call or an email. You also get an email with a summary of the request and its code, which you can quote in any message.
