Thanks in advance for any help you folks give to me.
I am heading to the Pardisius in 2 weeks for a week (31st-7th) and I am traveling with my entire family (11 people, 4 kids, 7 adults).
Now, for better or worse my family isn't the type that will want to do much off of the all inclusive (my wife and I however, REALLY want to see the non-resort places). I'm not terribly interested in "American" style places (Hard rock, outback, etc)
That being said I am looking for things to do that the hotels probably won't be advertising. The only thing we have planned is a cruise with Hispaniola Aquatic Adventures, everything else is wide open.
The things that I want to do:
Find somewhere to get great local rum (love dark rums) - Was planning on doing this by going to Don Lucas
Get great, fresh seafood (I Don't think I can do this on the resorts) Planned on going to Captain Cook for this
Any amazing food that is nearby
Anything that people feel is a "must do" chances are my family will only come here once (my wife and I plan on returning and seeing more of the "real" dr). We were debating checking out El Limon but decided against it.
Anywhere I could walk to from the Paradisius would be awesome as well - that is one of the reasons Captain Cook is so attractive.
