I had a ten day holiday booked for Venezuela but my schedule became crazy here at home and I had to exchange my ticket for 5 days in the DR. I've convinced one of my best girlfriends to come with me--we both need a break from everything, just sun and sand for a few days before heading back here to busy schedules, her in Chicago and me in Maine.
As always I am open to people's recommendations. We plan to make the most of the holiday--by relaxing, bringing books we haven't had time to read, having a few beers and possibly doing one day trip into Puerto Plata, or just heading straight to Eddy's Easter Sunday. It is a Thursday-Monday trip over Easter weekend.
If anyone has a hotel rec for us, let me know! We are booking our hotel in the next day or two. I sent an email to Tropix--the place looked cozy, clean, and laidback yet secure. Any other "hidden gems"?
FWIW we fly in and out of STI.
ETA: Chiri and Pib, next time, more notice, and a definite trip to SD!
