Rio San Juan Holidays

A True Robinson Crusoe Experience…

If you are looking for a true Robinson Crusoe experience in the Dominican Republic, then Rio San Juan holidays are just what the doctor ordered. Peace, quiet, rest and relaxation are the order of the day here, although that could be because there’s actually not much else to do around here. The Bahia Principe San Juan hotel is located right on the beach, miles from anywhere, with a stunning backdrop of coconut groves and palm trees. Golden sands stretch as far as the eye can see, and the dazzling blue waters of the Caribbean Sea lap gently at your toes making the perfect spot for a secluded Caribbean holiday.

There’s plenty of activity around the hotel though as it boasts 3 swimming pools, 8 bars and 5 restaurants; a gym, beauty salon, spa, and 2 Jacuzzis. Children will never be bored on Rio San Juan holidays with a playground, kids club, activity programme and their very own pool. Evening entertainment is also geared towards the whole family and when the live show is over, just head to ‘The Strip’ where you’ll find a mini-market, gift shops, karaoke bar and a Casino For a change of scenery, the sleepy little fishing village of San Juan is just a few kilometres along the coast and has a selection of friendly local restaurants specialising in traditional fish dishes, this is also where you’ll find the Gri Gri Lagoon with its amazingly clear water, unusual rock formations, thick mangrove forests and fascinating caves.

Feed The Tigers And Swim With The Dolphins…

Although it is very tempting to spend all of your holidays in Rio San Juan lazing on the beach or by the pool, there are some excellent excursions available which enable you to see more of this stunning island. The ultimate adventure on all family holidays to Rio San Juan has to be a trip to nearby Ocean World. Here you have the chance to swim with dolphins, feed tropical birds, snorkel in the lazy river, get up close and personal with the colourful marine life, and even feed the tigers in Tiger Grotto. As with most holidays in the Caribbean, snorkelling and scuba diving are almost compulsory. It would be a shame to come here and not introduce yourself to the fascinating marine life that lives just beneath the surface.

Nearby Cabarete has a world famous windsurfing beach, so this is the best place to head for if you fancy trying it for yourself. Deep sea fishing trips will have you on the trail of sea bass, blue marlin and tuna, or take a romantic catamaran trip along the coastline. For a real jungle adventure on holidays in Rio San Juan, head out on a jeep safari or horse riding trek. Follow the trails through tropical jungles, lush rainforests and along mountain paths, discovering the wonderful local wildlife and witnessing breathtaking scenery as you go. Then it’s back to the beach to relax and soak up the tropical atmosphere as the palm trees whisper to the chattering birds and the warm shallow waters invite you to cool off with a refreshing swim. All inclusive holidays to Rio San Juan and the Bahia Principe San Juan in particular, show off the remote beauty, breathtaking nature and stunning scenery that Caribbean holidays are so famous for.
