Days & Nights

From dining to fast food, traditional diners to themed establishments, Florida has restaurants to suit every taste. In the Dominican Republic each resort along the coast offers a different type of nightlife. Semana is particularly laid back; Cabarete has a more sophisticated feel while Sosua is the place to go for a lively night with plenty of vibrant bars to choose from. Jamaica offers plenty of different nightlife opportunities, ranging from a peaceful 'sun-downer' at a thatched beach bar to an evening spent dancing to Jamaica 's most energising reggae beats

Sun & Sand

While the many incredible theme parks are top of most people's list when they come to Orlando in Florida , in Jamaica and the Dominican Republic it is hard to beat the simple pleasures of divine beaches and spectacular sunsets along the coastline. Cabarete in the Dominican Republic is as popular as it is stunning and is home to what many consider the best windsurfing bays in the world. Montego Bay in Jamaica is the largest tourist resort and has plenty of pristine swathes of sand dotted with watersports shops and cafés.
