Hi!
Since I'm from Austria I do have to fly into PC and I would like to travel around DR a bit. I will be going im March 2004. I would like to go the Santo Domingo, Boca Chica, Puerto Plata, Sosua or Cabarete.... and than back to catch the plane back home.
I do not want to hire a car.
I'm also looking for non AI Hotels close to the beach in the mentioned areas. The preferred price range for the hotels would be between 25 and 50 $. I like clean places if possible with a pool and close enough to the action (restaurants, bars...) to walk home drunk.
From reading through a few of the postings I found that one of the most frequented past times of singel male travelers like me is to hook up with the odd girl for the night. It's not my main plan to do so, but if it happens it would be nice to stay in a hotel that does not oppose to to that.
Still my route is not definitly planned out yet, so I would be most thankfull for your advice.
My main goals for this vacation are:
Get around the place and get to know it a bit
Find a (few) great beache(s) to hang out and relax
Stay away form the tall blond german/american surfer community
Eat great food - and lots of it
Get to know some Domenicans to chat with and brush up my spanish
Thank again for you advice
