Looking for a beach to comb? We've got three affordable options.
Everyone dreams of getting away to a tropical island. Unfortunately for most of us, money is a big consideration. So how do you get away from it all on a limited budget? You'll find a plethora of affordable options in the Caribbean. Usually just a few hours' flight from a majority of the U.S., you won't waste money on costly airline tickets, and with all-inclusive resorts such as these you don't have to worry about all the nickel and diming that can add up at other resorts.
Allegro Playa Dorada
On the island of the Dominican Republic, vacationers will experience all the sand, surf and sun they've been craving. This all-inclusive resort features scuba lessons, tennis, snorkeling, windsurfing, dance lessons and more activities if you're so inclined. All meals and drinks are included at any of the six restaurants or four bars. Additional activities may be purchased for a fee. The all-inclusive price may vary but is typically less than an average airline ticket to Europe from the U.S.
