Want to share a magic part of DR
We have stayed for new year at a small hotel called Harley Heaven near Playa Limon, about 40 minutes drive from Mitches.
Playa Limon is in my opinion the last real undeveloped carribean beach, about 5 km long, yellow sand, palm trees and medium size waves. There is no infrastructure, only during the weekdays there is a group of tourist who ride horses to the entrance to the laguna limon.
The hotel Harleys Heaven is run by a Andy, a german, and as a name suggest harley lover. He is a very nice guy. He has 6 rooms on a small hill, overlooking the palm trees, and with a views of Monta?a Redonda, a vulcano like hill nearby (you can drive all the way up to the hill, if you have 4x4, you could do it with a normal car too I guess, but the road is pretty steep, best time to visit the hill is at about 4 pm when the sun goes down, and you have amazing view of both lagoons from there Redonda and Limon).
Andy also has a bar in a new hotel (two stories, and has about 8 or 10 rooms) that he is building near the river below the small hill, there is also another hotel there run by austrian, I think it is called las Cuevas, it has a restaurant, but when i asked for beef, i got something that looked like two 25 peso coins, and was charged quite a lot of money for it.
Harleys Heaven has no air con, just fans, two of the smaller caba?as on the hill have small fridges. As there is no electricity supply, Andy has his own generator and inversor.
Anyway the beach is beatiful, and if you have 4x4 you can drive kilometers down the cost throught the coconut palm forest, without seeing a soul.
I have been to the hotel 4x already and it is my favourite place in DR. It will not last long as there are plans in motion for some development alias Cap Cana, Casa de Campo. Which does not surprice me much. So go and see it before even this place will go.
If anybody wants more info let me know. Here are some pics from the area of Playa Limon and its surroundings and from the road to Mitches.
I will post more pictures in a next post as there is 10 picture limit
