I am looking to spend one week in 2 different locations (2 wks total) with my girlfriend(dominican) starting this sunday

I am looking for suggestions on an area that would keep us occupied and not extremely bored for a week. We like activities music nice views things like a beach, rivers, waterfalls are always a plus.

I am not looking to spend a fortune and would prefer something like an aparthotel where i could cook some meals in the house sometimes. As i understand it is still low season in DR so 40-50 anight would be my target budget (i paid that the other week in gran jimenoa in jarabacoa and it was a fantastic value)

Also please advise me on whether i would need a car in these places i currently have my rental car in santiago for a few more weeks.

Thanks in advance

From Santiago drive to Las Terrenas on the Samana Peninsula It's about 3hrs. There is a lot to do in the area and some of the best beaches in the country. Check out the tourist guide, www.samanaguide.com.

DR1 website has had a few problems the last few days. I'll be on one thread and it jumps to a different thread all by itself. May have happened to you the same.

You might try Tim Hall's place up in Tubagua on the Luperon Highway (I would enter from the Puerto Plata side). You can go to beaches, hang in the cottages, walk around the hills.
Also, if you go to Samana, try to rent an apartment in town, they come pretty well equipped --rustic but certainly doable--I have spent weeks there with my 4 kids...it worked out pretty good.

Also romantic--Punta Rucia--there are some decent places to stay out there in your price range. Food at Elsa's is dirt cheap.

Also romantic--Camp David Ranch in Santiago, up on a hill over looking the valley. And there is a place (big white place--just above the Cafeto Restaurant) on the Jamao-Moca Road that is outasight gorgeous and romantic...

You have lots of choices...

Greek Isles is one of the most famous romantic destinations all over the world. Island’s shimmering turquoise blue waters are an attraction in their own right, and rustic mountains, bright sun, and delicious food attract honeymooners and seasoned travelers alike.

Who cares? WHo gives a bone about Greece?

Anyway...what about Nagua? Good beach town, although long ass ride on the bus. That was more than a couple of hours from Santiago. I heard HB mention something about Samana. I was thinking about an excursion to Nagua for a few days. I remember one hotel there but I thought the restaurant across the street sucked.

Anyword on MonteCristi? I heard that place was a nice beach town also.

"Commander" even "WE" Dutch have a sense of the use of Sarcasm!
"M" was mocking the "OP"!
This is a "Night Of The Living Dead" thread, it just won't DIE!!!!!!!

Man, one only goes to Greece to butt-bone hairy women.

I wanna get some cheap ass recommendations for a romantic getaway. Emphasis on cheap not so much on romantic. So you know like "the way back seats on a Caribe Tour bus running to Santiago from Santo Domingo Oeste during the last trip of the day" I like that excursion. It has affordability, inexpensiveness, frugality and a traditional miser feel to it. Fine dining at the depot snack bar, you know, a hot dog and a pack of Oreo cookies.

But seriously, something interesting on a coastal pueblo for a few days is what I m looking for.

That will really impress someone by taking her to a CHEAP romantic get-a-way. Why don't you drive up to the Samana Penins
ula and then pick a beach and drive your car out on to it. When you get stuck in the sand tell her, I guess we will have to sleep in the car tonight, honey? That will get you laid without a doubt. If you can't afford it than stay home and take her to dinner at Ikea you cheap __b.
