The last four days have been nothing but amazing . I was able to use my flight benefits to put Ryan and myself on a plane to Punta Cana. We stayed at an Airbnb hotel for 45 dollars a night. I was skeptical to see if it was as legit as the pictures showed but when we arrived we were picked up by a driver named Roman and he was holding my name up on a piece of paper. My Airbnb host had already set up the pick up and everything . The room was perfect for what we needed and only about a 3-4 minute walk away from the beach.

Our room was cinema based so it had pictures of movies all around . The room was legit .. I know some people are skeptical about using Airbnb. My experiences have been great so far ! This whole building felt homey. We were even able to meet the owner of the place named Daniel. He was very down to earth and easy to talk to. Each day we had breakfast included . The staff were very friendly and helped with whatever we needed.

We were trying to make this a cheaper trip and it hasn’t been bad so far . We ate out and made one meal our lunch the next day as well. The hotel provided breakfast for us so that saved money as well.

We did our own thing and walked around the first couple days . We did our first excursion on the third day. We went with a company to Saona Island. We rode a van to the boat then we got on the boat to head to the island . We even got to snorkle for the first time ! We didn’t know that was part of our trip so it was a nice surprise . The water was like looking through glass! You could see everything so clear. The fish were beautiful. I really need to get a water protection case for my go pro now!

Us on the way to the island

When we got to the island it was such a beautiful blue !

Ryan wanted to buy a cigar off someone selling them so he hagled him down to 2.00 for one .

This is the best picture of island life !

The tour even came with unlimited drinks and an all you can eat buffet ! It was 60 bucks per person and we were able to snorkel , ride a speed boat , drink, eat , and get a catamaran back to the van. Well worth it ! This was the only excursion we did this time. The other two days we walked around and went to the beach .

As Ryan would say .. this is me and my Instagram pose. 😂 I will admit he got several good shots of me though lol.

Eating out is probably one of my favorite things to do so I was looking forward to trying something new . This was from a place called Citrus. They had amazing cocktails . And there’s a reason they have a 4.5 star rating . Everything was excellent!! We even had these leftovers for lunch the next day.

Everyone needs a few days to get away! This was the perfect trip. Now it’s time to get back to my baby Steele! Until next time, thanks for reading !!

Steele is always happy to have us back home 🙂
