The Stars are out round Punta Cana

We hear that Julio Iglesias, the famous Spanish 'crooner', and equally well known Dominican designer Oscar de la Renta are part of a business consortium planning to invest heavily in developments at the sparkling 'All-inclusives' resort of Punta Cana, at the Eastern tip of the Dominican Republic.

Between Punta Cana Marina and Plaza Bavaro stretches some 30 or so km (18 miles) of beautiful sandy beaches and numerous quality 'AI' developments already. With visitors rapidly approaching the 1 million mark per year the resort is booming, and evidently the 'starry' consortium, which also includes some local 'big hitters' will ensure that PC and Bavaro continue to be the 'quality' end of the 'sanitised' version of the DR experience.

For those who really want to know what the DR is like...well PC won't give them much of an idea...but for those who like to be cosseted in All-inclusive luxury...it's becoming the ideal Caribbean venue!
