Well you will definately find DR different than Barbados...but in my opinion it is for the better. Don't get me wrong Barbados is a beautiful Island, standard of living is higher than in the DR, but it is the people of the Dominican Republic that make the difference.
Activities for families:
1. definately take a jeep tour. If it is your first time to the DR, it is a must do. If you don't feel comfortable venturing off into the country by yourself, this is the best way to see the country. They will take you into the country, you will get to see schools, how people live, they will usually take you to a waterfall or blue lagoon, depending on what tour you go on. they provide lunch and lots of rum through out the day HINT: If you decide before you go that you want to take one of these tours be sure to bring some things for the kids. Last time I took pencils, crayons, hair clips, candy. Every little thing is so appreciated and the smiles on the kids faces is priceless.
2. If windsurfing is your thing, go to cabarete. It is famous for its surf.
3. Spend the day at the beach in Sosua. Take in a glass bottom boat ride or go snorkling. Or just enjoy the atmosphere.
4. Day trip to puerto plata. Take the cable ride, rum factory, amber museum.
5. If you want to swim with the dolphins, go to ocean world!
Trust me there are tones of things to do in the DR especially on the North Coast that honestly a week isn't enough time. Hope this gives you some ideas.
