Im flying into Santo Domingo this march. I was thinking about renting a car from hertz and driving to Samana, Im staying at the hotel Vista Mare. Is the highway safe to drive? my wife keeps reading the roads arent safe that there is crime and even the police will pull you over and rob you. I also keep reading to be careful when highway goes around the mountain, what exactly happens around the mountain ? is the road on the side of the cliff? I keep telling my wife it will be ok but if something happens she will kill me and it will ruin our vacation . Plus she is so worried im actually worried now. How is this drive should i just not bother and just take a taxi to the hotel? if so does anyone know any car rental companies in the samana area
