Non smoker, non drinker middle aged male writer who has been to the DR before looking for a quiet place to rest, unwind and do some writing in the Sosua /Cabarete area. I especially like quiet type places with lush vegetation to enjoy nature or be able to enjoy the pool on the property or the sea nearby. The area between Sosua and Cabarete is great too as long as it is not too difficult to get into town. I haven't been to the DR in awhile but am concerned with some of the threads I have been reading on here as far as safety issues are concerned. Obviously, I would need some place with good security. Is it still safe as far as walking around at night in those areas, as long as it's not too late? I am planning on staying 10 days to 2 weeks toward the latter half of April or when prices drop. Dates are flexible. I am looking at spending around $3-400 for a one bedroom rental for that time. I am involved with humanitarian work in the developing world and am back in the US on a break and to write up the story of my adventures over past years abroad. The DR is one of my favorite places on earth and I have sent many folks down that way. Thanks for any advice or suggestions you may have. I appreciate it!

Check this place where I live. Suncampdr.com
It's in Munoz, in the campo in front of Playa Dorada. Cheap accomodations, rustic style but with an atmosphere that you will love. People from all over the world come here.
10 minutes away from Puerto Plata with the public taxi at 30 pesos. Pulbic Beach is 5 minutes away and we have a river on site. Very nice place.

Based on your personal preferences I don't think Cabarate, Sosua is the place you are looking for. Check out Las Terrenas and the Samana Peninsula. Google, Hotel Miraposa or Hotel/Apartment Paseo.

Here you go again LTSteve. Always putting down Sosua/Cabarete in favour of LT. To the OP, I think Sosua/Cabarete will suit you fine!
In his defense, he didn't put down Sosua/cabarete but suggested an alternative :cross-eye
I find that most dreamers ( Liberals ) generally hang out at Starbucks, buy a coffee that lasts all day and sit there hogging a table from a paying customer "writing the dream novel", that will never get published... Every Starbucks has one or two of these left wing nuts...
I do not think that political views are related to hanging out at Starbucks. I do not think that writing "dream novels" is related to politics, either. I have never been to a Starbucks that was short of table space. But I rarely visit Starbucks and if I did write a novel, I would write it at home. One pretty much would have to hang out all day at a Starbucks to know how long someone else hung out there, by the way... Just sayin'.
I think that one might be able to make better conclusions regarding men with large neck tattoos or skulls and swastikas than about people hanging out at Starbucks.

Hey! Careful how you talk about guys with large neck tats! We have feelings too
Sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyy, I wasn't putting down Sosua, Cabarate. I looked at the description of what this poster actually said. Non smoker, non drinker, quiet place. This does not discribe your neck of the woods. I attempt to give good advice and this has no bearing on your feelings. Deal with it.

Africaida:
Thanks for coming to my defense. The gentleman that wrote the original post is looking for good info. Many people on this forum do not really read what he is asking and look at his needs. He is a non smoker, non drinker and wants quiet. That does not seem to fit the area he was looking in. I guess that is up for debate. If those that respond put more of their energy into giving some real info and not wasting our time on nonsense this would be a much better forum.
