In addition to my insulated tumbler, I also bring a reusable straw and a very small bottle (mine is about a 2oz bottle) of dish soap so that I can clean out my tumbler and straw at the end of the day.
Great tip!
Great video. Thank you. Maybe try these too:
We take colorful large towel clips for the pool and beach loungers.
A door stop comes in handy sometimes.
Dollar store suction cup hooks for shower loofah.
What's app instead of walky talkies.
If we have travel room, we take clothes that we don't want or use any more.
People in these countries are very appreciative.
Dinner pants that the legs zip off to second for warm day activities.
We take candy to hand out on Halloween cruises and resorts.
Straws. And share them.
We take glow sticks and hand them out in the evening time. Most everyone, adults and children love them.
We take 6"x9" Canada flags and clamp them to our loungers at the pool and beach.
Binoculars are nice some times.
A small travel umbrella.
Gum.
Cell phone portable power bank/charger for when you are not in the room.
Feel free to leave your kids at home. Bring your dog instead.
I forgot to mention travel clock, maybe blue tooth. Resorts don't have them.
😂😂😂
I always bring an extension cord for my curling iron. I like to sit down and do my hair in front of the mirror sometimes on the floor. I also bring a nite light. It’s helpful if you use the bathroom late at night. I also bring my iPad. A garbage bag for dirty laundry and a beach bag. I never leave home with packing a sick bag with meds in case someone gets sick 🤢 and it does happen. I also bring a can of air freshener for the room. Sometimes the room are musty.
I've had crock blisters as well and I've resorted to wear sneaker socks in them to avoid the blisters. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Another tip is to carry a small towel in your beach bag for when you rinse off your feet and slip into your dry shoes when leaving the beach. We always pack a fly swatter to avoid unwelcome guests.
Just booked a last min trip to Punta Cana, this video was more helpful than I’d assume! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 😀
Wow! Thank you! Great to know! I am getting anxious about planning a trip to Punta Cana! I've NOT been anywhere in 22 years and got my passport early this year! I'm traveling solo, so a bit hesitant.
Great video! I'd also suggest bringing DampRid because I've found a lot of the hotel rooms can get humid. Especially the ones where the AC shuts off automatically when the room is empty.
It would never have occurred to me! That’s a great idea 😀
Great video as always!
We stayed at Hotel Riu Palace for a week and you are so right about bringing your own first aid kit and bug spray. It costs us nearly $100 just for band aids, off-bug spray, and toiletries at the resort pharmacy!
Thank you for sharing your experience! This will surely help other travelers when watching this video 😀
Woow thank you for sharing. Didn't think the first aid kit would be so helpful. Will bring for my trip coming up.
Yeah that shop is expensive in that hotel
Haha! I loved the need to pack a wand to fight off dementors! 😂❤
😉😃
That HDMI adapter tip is brilliant. I can't believe I never thought of that.
We're glad it was helpful =)
I live in Oklahoma where we see normal highs of 110 degrees. I have a pool and have a great full body speedo tan by the end of the summer. I go with a super great tan for a Norwegian prince anyway. I agree with lots of sunscreen as it’s the UV that gets you and not the heat. Lots of sunscreen guys!!
Punta Cana is a beautiful paradise, I saw a photograph coffee table book on Amazon about this place full of beautiful photos and is gorgeous!
This is a well thought out list.
I'm going to Punta Cana and your tips will be very handful. Great post!
Glad it was helpful! Have fun! 😀
Aloe Vera gel put it in the fridge if you get burnt it can help take some of the heat out of the burn like any burn
Great videos! You are informative and FUNNY! 😂
Thank you! 😁
I thought that I was organized, but you have thought of so much more! Thank you!
As a dominican I never been to punta cana Thanks for the list!
Hopefully you get to visit soon! 😀
@@NittyGrittyTravelers :)
My son legit has the same wand and thought you were the coolest when we watched this video!
😁 that’s cool, Whitney! Thanks for watching 😀
Great review guys! Also very funny part about “magic wand” 😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁😅
I got a really bad burn on my lips past year in Mexico. It looked like I had plastic surgery and they puffed up real bad. So painful! I will pack chapstick with spf on my trip in March to Punta Cana. Leasson Learned.
I also use lanolin - it is my go to. It is very thick and protective. It is my year round protector in all seasons. It is found in the health food store or the baby department. I avoid the flavored chap sticks - they are too tasty!
Oh my gosh. BUG SPRAY IS definitely #1. I got bit up sooo bad had to go to pharmacy for bite spray and creams
Oh my. Probably very good advice but I just remember traveling across southern France, Northern Italy, Cypress, Greece for 6 months with nothing but a back pack with truly essential items. But, that was in the 70s and now we need two pairs of flip flops and reusable straws for 7 days. But I do love your modern advice. Sigh
You sir, you overpack. Carry on is all that’s needed
😅
I overpack too! Better to be safe than sorry❤
I've been going to Iberostar since 2005. Going back in September. Can't wait. Other suggestions are to take tea candles/flashlight and a door alarm and I take my own pillow cases.
Thanks for the tips! 🙂
What do you need the flashlights for?
@@nikaR85 last time I was there. We got the tail end of a hurricane and the power went out for hours. So, flashlight and tea candles.
Gotcha. Makes sense. Thank you!
I’m going to pack my daughters pillow case. Good idea for making it feel more like home for her on her first international trip.
I'm gonna stay at Hyatt Ziva with some family members in July! 🎉thanks so much for this video!
Hope you enjoy it!
thx for the good tips. im heading there in a few days
Wow!! I’m going next week! This vid was AWESOME!! Great job!!
The Magical wand had me ❤😂...you are the best.
Hahahaha, thanks! 😅
Thank you for sharing! Helps alot good information!
Absolutely brilliant Harry Potter reference. So funny and totally took me off guard!
😋
Thank you great tips!!!!
Very helpful tips! Especially the VPN and HDMI cable tip.
🙂
If you find yourself watching TV on the resort, then you went to the wrong resort. Also, if you are that bored, you can always step off the resort and enjoy the actual country because the resorts are no indication of what the culture is actually like. TV is the last thing I would do on the resort. 😂
Nice 😃am going to Punta Cana Tomorrow. Thank you
Excellent content! Music too distracting from your flawless delivery. New subscriber. ❤
Hola! Thank you so much for your feedback and welcome to the community! 😀
Love this, great job dude! You're absolutely going to make my stay a more enjoyable one.
Glad to hear it!
So glad to have found you! We’ll be going to Punta Cana in a few weeks. Our first vacay in 3 years and I don’t want to forget anything that we might need. Have you ever stayed at the Majestic Elegance?
So glad we've been helpful! We've not stayed in the Majestic Elegance yet... 🙂
Have you stayed there yet? Need help!
Shoutout to the wand part
Great video! I’ll be there soon and I just received so many tips from this video. Thank you!
So glad it was helpful! 😀
Thank you so much for the swim shirt!
Thanks for your excellent ideas
Glad you found it helpful! 😃
Great tips, thank you!
Thank you 🙏
Dope run down! Thanks hermano
Just out of curiosity, in terms of medications or even the antacids, can the bottles have already been open, or should they be sealed from the factory?
Hola! They don’t have to be sealed, you can bring your used medication 🙂
You may want to include a small extension cord (3-6 additional power plugs) I've read some rooms only have 3 power outlets and more are needed to charge all your electronics
Awesome tip! Will include it in the next version! 😀
Dude the walkie talkies is an extremely good idea that I'm going to implement with my friends when we go. Thank you so much for the advice!
😃 Glad you found it helpful!
The best video. Thank you❤
Glad you liked it!
Great tips, Thanks
You are so clever😊glad i found your chanel👊🏽subscribed
Thanks and welcome!
Hey, great video!
I have a question. Should I bring USD or withdraw in the Dominican Republic?
Hi, Daniela 🙂 please keep in mind that ATMs only give out Dominican pesos. In order to withdraw USD you would need a bank account in USD in a Dominican bank
I bought travel size bug bite spray n cream to carry in my purse at all times
Great video, thank you!
For your future videos, I suggest removing or lowering your background music which is really not necessary (a little annoying actually). It's you we want to hear, not music. 🙂
Noted! 😃
Great video, going in a few months. What brand khakis were those, I need a new pair and they look like a nice style!
Hey, Xavier 🙂 can you post the timestamp of the pants you're referring to so I can give you the brand name?
@@NittyGrittyTravelers 3.08 ..What was the BRAND you never said?
I have been to Punta Cana and thx for the useful info.
Glad it was helpful!
Wish you created a list after
have you been to Emotions By Hodelpa Juan Dolio, I got a really cheap last minute package today and i leave in 2 days, and it looks good in photos but just curious
We haven’t been there but We’ve heard it’s one of the nicest in Juan Dolio 🙂
Is it the 2 pin plug (type A plug) or 3 pin (type B plug) that one should get? You were not clear about this? Thanks
Bring a huge insulated cup and lots of tip money
Agree on both 🙂
@@NittyGrittyTravelers if you are willing to make an investment in tipping very well a whole world of opportunities will open up in the Dominican Republic All Inclusive arena. Say your stay at the resort is 3000 U.S. dollars. I would suggest bringing 600 dollars in small bills for tips. Just my opinion for a great stay
Great video
Definitely straws!!!
I am so excited I am going in June
Have fun, Allie! 😀
Have you been to dreams Macao
Beach resort yet in Punta Cana
We haven’t been yet but we hear good things 🙂
I’m going to Punta Cana in February and I’m saving this vid for when I pack
😀
Same here going there this weekend
No way same! What resort?
hey.. see you there.. I'm leaving Monday 27th
How many times did u get sick? We just got back and i was sick for 3 days
Hola! So far we haven’t gotten sick in a resort, hope you’re doing well now 🙂
Hi, is there washing machine? We’re staying there for 8 days and our luggage allowance is too small. Thanks
Hotels have paid laundry services 🙂
Thank You soooo much!!!😊
😀 you’re welcome!
I am going there next week
We hope you have lots of fun! 😀
How was it
I actually like that big hat and it covers a lot of your face. Where did you get it from? 😁
amzn.to/40VkJcc 🙂
When I went to Jamaica, I had mouth ulcers.. what would work well to avoid them?
Hola, Anjani :) According to hsinform.scot, mouth ulcers can be caused by viral infections - including the cold sore virus, chickenpox, and hand, foot and mouth disease, vitamin B12or iron deficiency, among other conditions AND even certain medications or stress. In the case of Punta Cana, there's nothing specific that we can think of that would cause mouth ulcers. I hope this helps!
Question: Is there a need to get the Twinrex vaccine or dukoral for these all inclusive resorts in Punta Cana?
Neither is necessary when visiting Punta Cana or the rest of the DR. While Cholera is present in Haiti and some isolated cases in the DR, it is not considered a health threat that merits a vaccine for visitors or locals. Hope this helps! 🙂
@@NittyGrittyTravelers Thank you! very helpful, we have booked Ocean El Faro for April. Very excited. Keep up the great videos!
@@clarityinvesting7998 how did you find that resort?
@@NittyGrittyTravelershow about hep a and b I got the a shot but thinking not doing b after 6 months after I get back
Can you guys do a video of JEWEL PALM BEACH RESORT PUNTA CANA. THANKS.
Hola! The Jewel Palm Beach is on our list to visit, as soon as we go there we'll make that video =)
Yes! I'm going there in March and would love your expertise!
You're a Genius 🤩👏👏
Cheers! 😃
Can I ask, what is a good time to go to Punta Cana?
Hola! It depends on what you consider important, for example:
- Cheaper time is from Mid August to Mid November, keep in mind that from June to October Punta Cana's weather is extremely hot
- Nicer weather and no seaweed is from Mid November to April but it's the high season and it's the most expensive time to visit
- Hotter weather not so expensive but there's usually a lot of seaweed: from May to Mid August.
Hope this helps! =)
The only thing is water shoes. They get full of sand, and it's hard to clean.
You’re so right! 😋
So true
Have you been to Dreams in Bayahibe? Is it good?
Hi, Paulo 🙂 no, we haven’t been to the Dreams Bayahibe.
Alright, the magic wand and the Netflix and chill were related, am I right? 😉
😝
What about jellow fever vaccine passport ? Is it needed on arrival ?
No 🙂
I love jello !
anyone have 2024 list?? pls need urgent
We used What's app to stay connected
Great idea. If you have an internet connection at the resort or are roaming that's a good tool 🙂
can I have some one whom I can contact to know more a bout punta Cana
Can anyone recommend an upscale restaurant in Punta Cana?
Hola! We've hear from friends that La Yola at Cap Cana is an amazing restaurant, the food seems to be delicious and its location is breathtaking =)
You don't need to bring an umbrella, all rooms have one and they're big enough for 2.
Hola! Thanks for your feedback ☺️ not all resorts provide with umbrellas, better safe than sorry 😉
How much cash to bring for a week there
That is a complex question to answer. If you're staying in an all-inclusive then bring money for tips (small bills) and some souvenirs. Credit cards are widely accepted in the country so there's no need no bring a lot of cash. For reference the exchange rate of Dominican Pesos to USD is about 54.3 per dollar. Goods and services are cheaper than the US but it's not as cheap like countries in Asia for example.
For the love of god please do NOT bring portable speakers with you to the pool or beach. No want's to be at YOUR personal DJ dance party.
Totally agree !!!
I miss Chris Farley 💯
I always take one but it's just for the room while getting ready... And we keep it low... In Mexico last year some American girls had their speakers blasting by the pool every day... Didn't care one bit... All depends how you were brought up really....
Fuck off it's my vaca and I can listen to whatever I want
What?? Y'all don't like Metallica & gangsta rap blasting while your trying to enjoy ur vacation
I never get sunburned. No, you won’t get sunburned if you apply sunblock regularly and correctly
Someone get NordVPN to sponsor this guy 😂
😂😇
33?
Thank You Capt obvious
You’re welcome lieutenant sarcasm 😉
"Gratuities included" doesn't mean anything?
Lopesan 👍🏽
🙂
I loved lopesan
I never take sunscreen I use coconut's oil.
Thanks for sharing!! Didn’t know it worked as sun protection 🙂
It doesn't
Coconut oil protects you from sun's UV rays?
NordVPN, sponsor this channel! :D
😅
We have to bring the entire pharmacy. Forget it. I will go to P. RICO better
I can see everything making sense except the tumblr! Its just not for me. It looks greedy. Like why would i want so much of one drink when i can try all they have available? 😂😂😂
That’s a good point! 😀
forgot my magic wand
thx
Lol 😅
As a Dominican, I'm galled that there can be such idiotic dress codes! Gimme a break! People are there on vacation and they are bringing badly needed foreign currency to the Dominican economy!
We generally agree with you! While we know some people enjoy the more formal environment at night we also think non formal options should always be available at all times!
@@NittyGrittyTravelers Thanks for your reply! I appreciate the list you put together. You might want to add having a small flashlight!! It can come in handy in the most unexpected situations! Saludos!
How easy is it to meet local women? Are they friendly, receptive, and sociable? Do u need to speak Spanish?
Creepy
Ok weirdo
Very easy. There's plenty of escorts
@@itssammiesakran ok thanks
Lol dude wants to be a passport bro
5 types of shoes. I call it BS
