I posted a while back and got some great information here. I'm looking for more help again. We are going to the DR for the first time Jan 9-16. We are probably staying at the Bahia Principe Jan 12-16 (a great deal with TA discounts).
I'm looking for somewhere to stay the first 3 nights - in between POP and Rio San Juan. Preferably not AI. We normally don't do AI, so we'd like to get away from that our first few nights. We like to eat where the locals do, and we prefer local culture to partying visitors (this doesn't mean we don't like to do our share of partying too). My husband is on crutches, so we'll not be as adventurous as usual - just looking to relax and enjoy GOOD food and the local culture.
I'm leaning towards Caberete or Sousa. Does anyone have input on these areas - or somewhere better that they'd suggest?
I really need help with finding a particular hotel - something other than the big AI's that I have easy access to. We'd prefer to be on the beach - under $75 per night - less would be even better.
Thanks for your help.
