Toes In The Sand 'Pamper Me'

Room service, spa service, pool service, you got it! Sometimes you just need to be pampered. Sometimes you just need to say

"It's Time For Me"! If you're fast approaching or already have that mindset, then this is the excursion for you. Indulge in as many or as few activities as you want. See as much of the beauty that is the Dominican Republic as you want, or sleep away your worries in your room, with Royal VIP Services. Room service, chocolates on your pillow, and a mini-fridge stocked with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are included. We've made self-indulgence easy.

Relax

'Toes In The Sand' (Days 1 & 2 Half-day) - A day of relaxation at the resort. Lay on the beach, play in the resort pools, enjoy the swim-up or five other bars, enjoy the water and other hotel activities and amenities. Remember, this is your time to ignore time, and this excursion is designed to promote relaxation, self-indulgence, and self-care.

Puerto Plata City Tour with Lunch - These tours are historical, colorful, and depending on the stops, can be flavorful too. Keep your eyes and ears open and get your taste buds ready. There's a good chance that something you see, learn, or taste, will enchant or inspire you.

Indulge

Half-day Private Boat Tour, Sosua Bay, with Lunch - Fresh air and blue water awaits you! Snorkel, swim, dance, eat, while traveling the warm waters of the Caribbean. Snorkeling equipment, alcoholic beverages, and lunch are all included.

Spa Visit (Extra Cost) - If you're an outdoor ocean front massage or a chocolate body wrap, kinda' gal, then the Bagua Spa is calling you.
