Hotels in La Altagracia, Dominican Republic
La Altagracia sits on the Dominican Republic's eastern tip, with a hot tropical climate averaging 82°F (28°C) year-round-it's famous for its 20-mile stretch of white-sand beaches like Bavaro and Punta Cana. In the dry winter months from December to April, you can snorkel in the warm Atlantic Ocean at Coral Gardens or sail to Isla Saona, while the wetter summer months (May to November) bring lower hotel rates and lush green scenery perfect for hiking the Indigenous Eyes Ecological Reserve's 12 freshwater lagoons. For a change of pace, head to Cap Cana for deep-sea fishing or explore the 16th-century Basilica of Higüey, a modern Gothic-style cathedral that's a pilgrimage site for locals.
