Look up the "Metro Country Club", in Juan Dolio.
I love it there.
Gated, secure, country club amenities,like club house, pools, golf course.
A "Suites Hotel" is on the site.
It was an Embassy Suites, but has just changed affiliation.
Not on the beach, which is actually a plus.
Shuttle buses to take you on the 5 minute ride to a private beach club.
It has single family homes, town homes, and condos.
Juan Dolio has English language schools, restaurants, lots of hotels and big beach front condos.
It is about 35 minutes to Santo Domingo.
