Hello everyone!
I am planning my first trip to the DR (Hotel Playa Esmeralda in Guayacanes) and I would really appreciate any tips. In exchange, I will post (useful) reviews and comments following my late-April vacation.
I am especially looking for tips on:
--Beaches on the south coast (which are great? which are not?)
--Day trips (What should I see in SD? Isla Saona? Other parks/excursions?)
--Transportation (Gua-guas? Publicos? Taxis?)
--Food (Good local restaurants?)
--Guayacanes/Playa Esmeralda (So little info online...)
--Any other advice on making the most of my six-night trip?
Thanks so much!
P.S. I am a 23-year-old American traveling with my boyfriend. We speak a little Spanish but not great. Many of my 7th grade students in NYC are Domincan and I would like to learn about their country and culture.
