Best time to go to San Pedro de Macoris

Sunshine’s a given in La Romana. The mercury hits an average of 29˚C, and gets even higher in the May to October hot season, when you get the odd short-lived rain shower. The top time for hols here is between November and April, when there’s less humidity. You do get the odd hurricane between June and September, but don’t worry – the hotel staff know how to ride them out.

Passports and Visas

British citizens must have a valid passport to visit the Dominican Republic. A tourist visa card is required for entry and is included in the cost of your holiday, so you won't be expected to pay for this on arrival. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/dominican-republic/entry-requirements.

Don't forget to arrange your travel money and insurance before you go.

Health and safety

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. For the latest health and safety information, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/dominican-republic/health
