wow Newlife,
you are visiting during peak season and still no arrangements for lodging??
hurry up and good luck to find something.
the very most residences in the area do not rent appartments just for 2 weeks, they are longtime rentals requiring several months deposits and some paper work.
the non AI hotels like the Cortecito Inn in El Cortecito will be very crowded, too.
a very good appartment and Villa rental residence right on the beautiful Bavaro Bay Oceanfront is Los Corales, they rent all sizes of appartments and villas, and they do short time rentals.
you can contact them on their website
www.los-corales-villas.com
i would highly recommend to make your arrangements before this weekend.
have fun
Mike
