    Traveling While Black

    My trip to Punta Cana in January 2025 was a relaxing one. I find traveling to countries that are a part of the diaspora are easier to navigate with less racial tension amongst the staff at the airport and resorts. We were even referred to as “family” when greeted by some of the resort crew and at the airport convenience store.

    Although there’s civil unrest going on in Haiti, we didn’t feel the pressures of that in the DR, which I was initially concerned about. Travel costs are reasonable ranging from $1300-$1600 per person for a package deal. I’d recommend to Black travelers looking for a 5 star resort experience.

    My only draw back was the resort I selected, which was Secrets Royal Beach. Our room was a little on the dated side with needed repairs, and it was smaller than what I am accustomed to. Also we sprang for the preferred club with butler service and all he did was text us via WhatsApp a daily itinerary and asked if he could help with anything. And when we did ask for help he delivered 30% of the time.
