Valentine's Day is upon us, and with it a slew of romantic travel deals all across the United States and the Caribbean. It's nice to have an excuse to get away for a long weekend, isn't it? Most major cities have hotels with romantic getaway vacation packages of course - it's smart business for the tourism industry. But a terrific luxury travel deal that just came across Luxury Travel's desk sounds too good to not share: The best romantic travel packages in the Dominican Republic. The Caribbean is a great place to spend a pampering Valentine's Day, or any long romantic weekend. These Puntacana Resort & Club vacation deals are annual as well, with prices subject to change. The first is the resort's hotel package, the second is their private luxury rental villa package.
Two Great Romantic Hotel Deals and Travel Packages in the Dominican Republic:
The Puntacana Resort & Club includes a 40% off hotel deal. This reflects the 40th anniversary of the Puntacana Resort & Club: The Puntacana Hotel itself is more affordable than most luxury hotels in its class, and the luxury rental villas are incredible, private and exclusive. The Puntacana hotel also is run with a philosophy of environmental stewardship, with a preserved 1500 acre forest. This is significant for a Caribbean island, especially considering that half the island is Haiti, not the Dominican Republic (Puntacana is on the eastern coast of DR, nowhere near Haiti).
