madandana Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Going to Punta Cana next week.Anyone been there? There's a shop called Don Lucas.From all I can tell it's supposed to be pretty good,they have some rollers,free samples,rum and the like.They will pick us up at the resort for a tour. Anyone been there?
Hubba Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Yup.......went a couple times last time i was there. Large humidor, great samples. They sell cubans, their own cigars and the big name doms. Unfortunately no deals on cubans or Fuentes. Really a fun afternoon.
Hubba Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 When you are at the resort you'll want to ask about the Mundo Authentico shopping trip, that is where Don Lucas cigars is, they pick you up and drop you off.
stargazer14 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Been to Punta but didnt visit that shop. Did see a number of fakes elsewhere tho, so beware. Amazing how different your view of the country is once you get out of the security of your resort. Took a detour on a horse ride for a few miles, off the trail the guide wanted us to stay on - the conditions the people in live is dreadful, but worth seeing for me.
Hubba Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Stayed at the majestic colonial for two weeks...it was amazing.
CanuckSARTech Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Mmmmmm. "Mamajuana". I think most Carribean islands have a variant of it. A wild form of rum, that's for sure. Came in quite useful during a number of D.R. trips, and even a honeymoon to St. Lucia.
CanuckSARTech Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 AWESOME. Homemade moonshine-style rum, with herbs and other additives. Makes the party a PARTY! LOL. The next day however.....
puros71 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Eat come good seafood and load up on the Vitamin V, Viagra that is.
Diamondog Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Dominican is safe, dont buy the hype of not leaving the resort. Do yourself a favor, rent a car for your stay, come and go as you please, enjoy the locals/towns, be smart, youll be fine. I have travelled many times to and in the DR, never do i go without getting a vehicle.
Diamondog Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 6 couples robbed? 10 people together robbed? Very interesting. I stand by my claim, ive been far too many times the DR is a safe place to travel. Once you experience roaming around it'll never be the same any other way
