Cicero was a wise man, a philosopher, and a statesman. He famously declared, “If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.” It’s a beautiful, classic sentiment, but let’s be honest: Cicero didn’t vacation in the right century.
We’re here to tell you that this piece of wisdom is the product of a brilliant mind who simply had to settle for the Mediterranean.
The Real Upgrade: Trading Scrolls for Sand
Cicero thought a library was the ultimate escape. Bless his heart. The truth is, his longing for books wasn’t deep philosophical insight—it was a geographical limitation.
Here’s the real upgrade, courtesy of the turquoise waters of the Dominican Republic:
- Cicero’s Knowledge Gap: He said you needed a library because, despite all his reading, he never saw or experienced the Caribbean Sea. Had he traveled, he’d know the best education isn’t in a scroll, it’s in 100% visibility at 50 feet down.
- The Ultimate Retirement Plan: If you have the entire Caribbean Sea all to yourself, and the chef knows how to make conch fritters, you don’t just have everything you need… you have retired.
- The Only Reading Material Required: When Cicero said ‘a garden and a library,’ he meant ‘I’m bored by the Mediterranean and need to read an escape plan.’ If he saw Dominicus Beach, he’d only need sunblock and a ‘Cancel My Reservations’ note for everything else.
- Our Version of “Everything”: If you have a private beach in the Caribbean and a frozen rum runner or pina colada, you have everything you need.
The only reason Cicero needed a library was his lack of travel knowledge. The Caribbean is the only book you need to be perfectly happy—and it’s a guaranteed bestseller.
Dominicus: Your Caribbean Library Awaits
Why settle for reading about paradise when you can live it?
We invite you to Dominicus, Dominican Republic, where the crystal-clear water of the Caribbean replaces dusty history books and the gentle sway of a palm tree replaces hard-backed philosophy.
Dominicus is a beautiful, Italian-influenced beach community designed for pure relaxation. Here, you’ll find the stunning:
- Turquoise Garden of the Caribbean (A much better view than any old garden!)
- Floating Library of Coconut Drinks (The only book you need to check out!)
Trade your armchair for a lounge chair and your scrolls for soft, white sand. It’s time to stop studying the classics and start living a classic vacation.
P.S. Yes, you can still bring some books (and your Wi-Fi password, you god among men!), but we bet you won’t open them.
