Tame the Waters of the Dominican Republic

Like weather, the behavior of the ocean is dependent on locations. While Florida's is known as seduced, though at times thrashing, the Pacific is much cooler and gives birth to prolific waves. In the Dominican Republic, the ocean weds rolling waters, warmth, and a surreal shade of blue, but is not to be trusted.

If there is one piece of advice to heed when vacationing in the Dominican, it is to handle the ocean with kid's gloves; it may resemble what you're familiar to at home, but the standards of safety out in the Caribbean are of great difference.

Depending on where you stay, the conditions of the waters will vary and any signifiers of potential danger may be few and far between. While some properties are not as mindful of this, a carefully selected Dominican Republic resort just might be the difference between apprehension and ease.

Taking a discriminating approach to choosing your Dominican Republic luxury hotel will give you the freedom to comb the beaches and wade the waters, allowing the opportunity to enjoy the Caribbean you traveled all that way to experience.

Some measures to consider when exploring unattended waters:

- Ask someone, anyone, about the ocean conditions each and every day you visit.
- Inquire about any safety devices or services you think you may need from your hotel's concierge.
- Survey the waters and if you see someone venturing into unruly conditions, stop them.

Keeping these in mind, but not allowing them to dictate your vacation will ultimately offer the Dominican Republic the way it's meant to be experienced, as a breezy Caribbean sanctuary.
