1st trip to DR here.
My flight is booked into PPO for the first week of March 2003.
Any suggestions on where to stay (Sosua? PPO?).
I would appreciate any recommendations on resorts/hotels (preferably oceanfront property; balconies w/ waterview).
After reading numerous posting, it sounds like AI is not the way to go........... I don't want to be locked up in a resort 24/7, no matter how nice it is. Am I overreacting to some of the postings and there are good AI's?
I'd like to venture into the local scene.
After hearing negative comments from some friends, I am going to chalk that up to the fact that they are 'spoiled americans' (not this site's favorite DR tourist).
I hope to change a few locals opinions about americans during my stay.
I am travelling solo and just want to enjoy a nice beach, cold beer, friendly people, good nightlife, etc.
Any suggestions or advice is appreciated!
