My family and I just recently came but from Sunscape Casa del Mar in La Romana. All inclusive.

-You can fly into La Romana and take a taxi, 20 minutes from hotel

-Really nice 2 pools, and beach

-Activities surpassed all of our expectations! The event staff were the nicest people, and really made every activity fun.

-Food was good. Restaurants, with different choices from seafood to Japanese, and a buffet that's open every meal.

-Employees were wonderful! Helped with anything we needed.

-Away from the main beach, you can explore and find private jacuzzis right along the shore

-Couples massages, and romantic dinners along the beach.

-Peacefull, not too crowded with tourists.

-Definitely the best experience!!

REMEMBER THIS PROVERB MI AMORE , ! THEY WHO EXPECT LITTLE HAVE LITTLE DISAPOINTMENT! I THINK THE PERSON THAT MADE THAT UP MUST HAVE TRIED TO LIVE IN THE D.R FOR ATLEAST A WEEK OR SO BECAUSE NEVER HAS IT BEEN MORE TRUE , THAN WHEN TALKING ABOUT GREAT SERVICE AND QUALITY . FOR ANYONE COMING FROM THE U.S , EUROPE, OR CANADA FOR THE FIRST TIME , YOU SHOULD .......... KNOW THIS ! 5 STAR IN YOUR COUNTRY AND 5 STAR IN THE D.R IS AS DIFFERENT AS PINEAPPLES AND COCONUTS . ONCE YOUVE OVERCOME THIS " SMALL" HURDLE , YOUR 98% OF THE WAY THERE. DONT CONFUSE IGNORANCE WITH OUTLOOK . REMEMBER ! YOUR GOING TO A COUNTRY WHERE THE AVERAGE PERSON IS WONDERING IF THIER FAMILY IS GOING TO EAT TOMMORROW, ( NOT WHERE .) THERE IS LITTLE SENSE OF URGENCY HERE AMONG DOMINICANS AND WHAT AT TIMES SEEMS TO BE AN ALMOST "TOO LAID BACK ATTITUDE ", IS ONE OF THE SECRETS TO THIER HAPPINESS AND ABILITY TO ENJOY LIFE AS THEY DO . . ( THE LESS ONE HAS , THE LESS ONE HAS TO WORRY ABOUT ). SO TRANQUILO MAN ! IF YOUR HERE SEARCHING FOR CLUB MANHATTAN SERVICE, BETTER GO TO MANHATTAN. THEREFORE , TRY TO GIVE A LITTLE GRACE WHEN IT TAKES 3 DAYS FOR YOU TO GET THAT EXTRA PILLOW YOU WANT TO CRY ON . PUNTA CANA IS TO THE D.R WHAT CANCUN IS TO MEXICO . NOTHING BUT A LONG STRETCH OF BEAUTIFUL WHITE SAND BEACH WITH LOTS OF 4 AND 5 STAR MEGA RESORTS DESIGNED TO KEEP YOU FROM EVER HAVING TO LEAVE THE RESORT . THIS IS GOOD IN PUNTA CANA BECAUSE UNLIKE CANCUN , THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO OUTSIDE OF THE HOTEL ZONE WHICH APPEALS TO MOST OF ITS STAY AT HOME TYPE OF TOURISTS . SANTO DOMINGO IS A VERY COOL CITY AND THE COLONIAL ZONE HAS ALOT TO OFFER NOT ONLY IN TERMS OF ITS HISTORY AND SITES BUT ITS ROMANTIC FLARE AS WELL . DEFINITLY WORTH A FULL DAY OR 2 IF YOU CAN . SANTO D. WAS THE FIRST CITY DISCOVERED BY COLUMBUS IN THE AMERICAS . BOCA CHICA IS FOR SINGLES LOOKIN FOR THE WILD, BUT, EVEN I HATED BOCA CHICA AND QUICKLY DEPARTED WITH MY COMPANERA FOR A , WELL, YOU KNOW, QUIET ROMANTIC ALL INCLUSIVE EVENING AT A " 5 " STAR RESORT IN JUAN DOLIO. JUAN IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT GETS FOR A PERSONAL LOVE LETTER ON THIS PART OF THE ISLAND. FOR THE REAL DEAL , GO TO SAMANA AND CUPID WILL HIT YA WHERE THE GOOD LORD SPLIT YA . PLAYA BONITA IN SAMANA , HAS SOME REAL INTIMATE RESORTS FOR COUPLES AND SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ROMANTIC BEACHES IN THE WORLD AND............ WELL , USE YOUR IMAGINATION . AND IF YOUR A DUDE READING THIS , PLEASE REFER TO MY " EXPERIENCE SAMANA ANSWER " SO YOUR ENDING WILL BE HAPPIER TAN MINE . ( CANT BUY A RAINCOAT AT 3 IN THE MORNING IN SAMANA ). HOWEVER, HANDS DOWN , THE NORTH COAST HAS THE MOST TO OFFER WHEN IT COMES TO EXPERIENCING DOMINICAN LIFE AND CULTURE AT ITS BEST . . ( MEANING THE PUERTA PLATA AREA . ) SUN VILLAGE OR HACIENDA RESORTS ( IF YOU CAN GET IN ) OFFER THE BEST IN LUXURY AND 4 TO 4.5 STAR SERVICE AS WELL AS PUTTING YOU AT A DISTANCE FROM HEAVILY TOURISTED AREAS WITH THE EXCEPT ION OF OCEAN WORLD WHICH APPEARS TO BE A "FLIPPER LOVERS PARADISE ". PUERTA PLATA MALECON AND SPANISH FORT ARE DEFINITLY WORTH VISITING . SOSUA , IS ANYTHING BUT A QUIET ROMANTIC COUPLES GETAWAY, BUT , SOSUA BEACH , WHERE I SPEND HALF MY LIFE AS A HOPELESS ROMANTIC , IS A MUST FOR A REAL TASTE OF SOMETHING REALLY DOMINICAN AND SUNSETS THAT TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY . SURPRISINGLY. CABERETE BEACH AT NIGHT IS A VERY ROMANTIC SLICE OF SAND AND INSPITE OF ITS LACK OF DOMINICAN AUTHENTICITY AND HOARDS OF TOURISTS , THE PLACE IS ROCKIN .. IN CABERETE, SINGLES COUPLES AND FAMILES VACATION TOGETHER BUT SOMEHOW IT ALL SEEMS TO WORK . IN AND OUTSIDE OF CABERETE YOU WILL FIND SOME NICE QUIET PLACES TO " ECH DA POLVO " AS WELL , BUT WHO THE h**l WANTS SOME GRINGO TELLIN EM HOW AND WHERE TO DO ........................ ROMANCE IN THE THE D.R ?

Wel dear, in the Dominican Republic the choice of a good hotel is not difficult. You have 3 main areas :

Punta Cana : Only hotels not much to do outside

Boca Chica/Jan Dolio: Nice but very low level tourism

Puerto Plata: The best place to go for people who like to visit and discover and at the same time the best beach in the country. Ocean World is also in Puerto Plata.

For hotels you have about 30 different ones depending your budget, so talk to your agent he/she will gladly help you on a good deal. Happy to Help you

Happy Feet
