Boca isn't that nice to be honest, although I expect it depends on who you are and why you are visiting.
Apart from the beach (some like it, I personally think it is filthy and not the idillic industrial Caribbean view:ermm
very little to do during the day, but that equates to most holiday destinations I expect.
Be wary of where you stay, if you find yourself in a 'guest friendly' hotel then be prepared with something to clean yourself down every morning as it isn't unusual to pick up a few unwanted joyriders in the form of sexually transmitted nasties or just outright filth nasties.
Be wary of the restaurants, many of them don't note the taxes they add on and you can expect your bill to come in at double or more than what you expected. I've had a few confrontations with restaurants there after they have tried charging me silly prices for usually very cheap food and drinks, and not charging the advertised price.
People knock Sosua but if Boca is the type of vacation you want then consider Sosua seriously, it has it in the bag hands down in terms of restaurants, bars, beach and quality of girls, even popping down the road to Cabarete during the day makes for a nice change and plenty to photograph there. If this is what you are looking for then I'd even consider jumping on a bus and relocating to the Sosua side.
