Bayahibe among the best family-oriented destinations

Bayahibe, one of the Caribbean’s most important tourism destinations, was recently included among the ten best family destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico.

The survey was carried out amongst visitors to the Trip Advisor travel website.

Bayahibe, situated in the country’s eastern region, came out in ninth place in the Travelers Choice 2011 survey.

Says Trip Advisor on Bayahibe: “For years professional divers have been traveling to Bayahibe.  However, thanks to the construction of top-rated hotels, the region has become a popular destination for families.  Visitors will enjoy white-sand beaches, a thrilling zip-line dive or explore the breathtaking National Park of the East.”

Off the coast of Bayahibe lies Saona Island, a haven for divers and snorkelers.

The island is surrounded by stunning coral reefs, coastal lagoons, a large variety of birds and reptiles, as well as archaeological sites and caves which were once used by the Tainos, the original inhabitants of the island.

Saona Island is the most visited place in the Dominican Republic.  It is part of the National Park of the East.

Bayahibe is a former fishing community. That is where visitors will find Bayahibe Beach, considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the country’s eastern region.

Just a few kilometers away is Dominicus Beach, also an incredibly beautiful beach.   In the past few years the area has experienced extraordinary growth in tourism development.

The Best Family Vacations is a Trip Advisor category, where millions of travelers can express their opinions on various travel-related issues.
