10 Things Tourists Don’t Realize
About Punta Cana Until They Arrive

#1: It’s not always paradise-sunny. Rain showers pop up even during dry season.

#5: You’ll eat a lot of rice and plantains. Embrace it!

#6: The ocean is calmer in the morning.

#7: You may see power outages — they’re brief, but common.

#9: You don’t have to tip much — but it’s appreciated.
