We are so excited to be working with Apple Vacations®, “America’s Favorite Vacation Company”, and Occidental Grand Punta Cana to give away an all inclusive vacation to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic!
At the end Creating with the Stars last season, we were reflecting back on the contest and things that we loved, things we wanted to do better, etc… One area I really wanted to work on for this season, was the addition of one awesome prize that anyone could win, not just our contestants- kind of like a massive thank you to everyone that followed along or was involved in any way. We’re kind of known for dreaming big here on East Coast Creative- sometimes insanely big, so we knew just who to partner with…
Here’s the Scoop For Ya…
East Coast Creative Blog and Apple Vacations is excited to give away a four-night trip to the Occidental Grand Punta Cana, in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for two adults departing from PHL, Philadelphia. Trip includes four-night accommodations, round-trip charter air, transfers to/from resort, non-motorized watersports, all food/drinks and the assistance of an in-resort Apple Representative. Trip is valid for travel through November 24th, 2014. Taxes, optional insurance and additional expenses (such as optional excursions, spa treatments, phone calls, souvenirs) are the sole responsibility of the winner. Taxes on this trip will be approximately ($310-370 per person).

We couldn’t just give away an all-inclusive trip without checking it out and sharing it with you first right?? That would be just plain wrong- hehe. March 21st I’m headed away with Apple Vacations to the Occidental Grand in Punta Cana and I’ll be bringing you along on Instagram! Make sure you follow me on IG at @EastCoastCreative It’ll be a great reminder for you to enter daily for your chance to win!
I’ll be having some fun in the sun with my awesome Sister-in-law Kelly. Eric just started his new job, so he didn’t feel right taking a full week off already (plus we’re taking a lot of time off to head to Alaska in Aug!) Jess has baby Bennett at home and is going away with her husband for a week for their 10 year anniversary in May, so she had to pass on the trip. That made my choice really simple! Kelly and I are perfectly beach compatible- we both like a lot of sun, reading tons of books, and we’ve already started chatting about what TV shows to plow through on Netflix at night! Kel lives in Ohio, so I don’t get to see her nearly as much as I’d like to, so this week is going to be awesome!! I posted a little tour of Kelly’s home a while back- it’s adorable!
Now for some Resort Eye Candy…
White sand-check. Clear water- check. Palm trees- check. Amazing weather with NO snow- check and double check!
We love the beach, but I’m guessing we’ll spend most of our time poolside. With drink service and swim up bars, we’ll be pretty happy poolside with a view of the beach!
Palm trees are pretty, but I will not be looking for shade on this trip! I’ve mentioned before that this snowy winter has me white, like Cullen white! Not for long!!
Let’s talk weather… In March Average temp is 86 degrees. Heavenly!
I can’t wait to show you all the details of the resort and report back to you my favorite foods, drinks, and other things you should try when you visit the Occidental Grand! Of course enter to win, but if you just can’t wait and need sun and sand STAT, Apple Vacations has some awesome winter specials on right now!
