Thanks for ALL the info provided here. We (my bf, 12 year old and I) are going to Santo Domingo (staying at a B&B called Dona Elvira) and then onward to windsurf in Cabarete. All of my US friends stay at Palm Condos, Albatross or El Magnifico. Is there another recommended place? We want to be near windsurfing and not too noisy. Thanks..Palm is booked and El Mag might be too far from where I want to be..
