TOTALLY recommend Quemaito!!!!! Forget the others.. Playa Azul would be the second choice.. I live in Barahona, and I would have to say El Quemaito is the best.
would you consider experiencing something different this time? in La Cienaga the women cooperative rents rooms within family houses (refurbished with micro credits and accommodated for tourits). more "roots", no A/C, but much cheaper and social benefits for the communityt 100% of the income goes to the women coop . they also have full packages and other attractions see www.guanavaneturas.com. If not have look at their handcrafts and specility etcnic food when you are around (try pavellon de rey al coco)
