Anyone been or got any comments as I'm not going to Le Mans this year so looking for another alternative holiday. Looking at September time with a budget of circa £700 - £1000 per person

It's ok if you like a holiday in a compound, a lot of surrounding areas are too dangerous to go out in. I know of tour buses being shot at going through villages and on excursions.

I went to the Dom Rep in Oct '07 and thought it was great. We went to Samana which is not a heavily touristy area and the locals were very friendly. There wasn't a great deal to do outside the hotel complex though.

How about Egypt?

I wouldnt recommend anybody to go to the Dominican Republic. Long flight, really nothing to do outside of the complex if you had the balls to go outside and the journey from the airport to the complex is awful. I couldnt believe people lived like they do there! Mud huts and 4 to a scooter aswell!!
Try Portugal. Miles nicer!
