Hi, good read! I was on holiday in Punta Cana too early 2015 (Playa Bavaro to be exact). Your post reawakened some of my experiences. I did that monster truck tour too but luckily without the cockfight (instead some horse riding that I also don't like to support). It also contributed to my gratitude to live such a privileged life compared to the global inequality. I enjoyed the positive vibes of the people and definitely would want to go back but somehow travel the country in a more alternative way since I felt a little too captured in the hotel complex. I want more adventure and cultural connection next time :)

Thank you for your feedback and I'm glad I awakened some nice memories. I must admit it's been over 13 years since I'd been so it had probably changed. I think we stayed at the Barcelo in Bavaro as well. I think it was called Sirenis Cocotal Beach Resort. I felt the same very closed and secluded.
