Cofresi Holidays

Enjoy Your Very Own Slice Of Paradise…

As with many Caribbean resorts, life on Cofresi holidays revolves around the fantastic beach. Just as you’d expect, the pristine white sands, clear blue waters and stunning mountain backdrop transport you easily to your very own slice of paradise. The shaded loungers, whispering palms and thatched huts selling welcome refreshments, create the perfect world, which you may never want to leave. A purpose built resort, holidays to Cofresi will find you on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, just 10 km from the main city of Puerto Plata and around a 40 minute drive from the airport.

Cofresi began life as a small fishing village and its name is believed to derive from the infamous Puerto Rican Pirate; Captain Roberto Cofresi who ruled the waves in this area from 1818 to 1825 when he was captured and executed. Legendary tales are still recited by locals and many believe his treasure must still lay hidden in one of the many caves along the coastline. Water sports are extremely popular with the warm, calm waters creating perfect conditions; however one thing that is practically compulsory on all Cofresi holidays is snorkelling. The marine life beneath the surface is both colourful and fascinating; however the best way to fully appreciate it is to try scuba diving. Sessions are available for everyone from beginners to experts and will uncover an exciting, yet eerie world of underwater caves and shipwrecks. You never know, you may even discover Captain Cofresi’s lost treasure.

Meet The Locals And The Local Wildlife…

Exploring on Cofresi holidays is best done by hiring a bike or scooter, or for a real jungle experience, join a jeep safari and set off on an adventure through the succulent tracks and trails overflowing with stunning flora and fauna. Meet the locals and the local wildlife as you get back to nature with the Caribbean breeze blowing in your hair. One of the Dominican Republic’s quieter destinations, Cofresi holidays offer little in the way of nightlife, with most people enjoying the entertainment in the luxurious hotels scattered throughout the resort. Although all inclusive holidays in Cofresi are extremely popular, you may prefer to stay in one of the many luxurious villas and apartments that are scattered between the beach and the hills, all of which offer stunning views either of the dazzling Caribbean Sea, or the lush, green mountains.

Late holiday deals to Cofresi are extremely popular from January to April when the sun is hot, the humidity is low and there is hardly any rainfall. The hurricane season runs through August and September so this time might best be avoided, however this is also the best time of the year to benefit from cheap holiday deals in Cofresi.
