Aloha Amanda & Eric, welcome to the forum and Congrats!!! on your wedding coming up in Hawaii Wishing you all the best and that your planning and execution goes smooth n easy......Enjoy your journey !!!

I completely agree with Katya about her accessment of both the DR and Costa Rica. I've also lived in the DR for over 8 yrs, and only visited in Costa Rica. However, I have a very similar impression of both countries and concur with Katya's assessment ......the DR may be more cost effective, but Costa Rica has a lot more bio-diversity.......so it all comes down to what your individual preferences are. Happy planning and all the best with your decisions! Wishing you the Wonderful Wedding you Dream of........Enjoy

What an awesome backdrop for your unique wedding......an Alaskan Cruise !!! wishing you all the best with your plans and that everything turns out just the way you want it to!!! Cheers

Cheers

Yes, you guys are right about the DR food being more bland. I was surprised too - to see that they don't use a lot of spice, and their main local dishes are usually centered around white rice and beans.....with a bit of meat added - ie chicken, pork or beef. Ahh well......each place has its' balances with good points in different areas......which is part of why traveling is so educational Wishing everyone happy research, easy decisions + planning processes and that you all have the wonderful weddings you wish for!!! Enjoy
