Lucky You

I'm from NJ so I'll be flying out of Newark Airport.
Boca Chica resort is already sold out for this weekend :disappoin
I want some directly on the beach that has activities and possible child care.
Well you are lucky the Boca Chica Resort/Dominican Bay is sold out because it isn't on the beach , in fact it's on a hill. Really ought to be named the Dominican "on the hill sort of near the bay, which actually is a lagoon and not a bay" Resort.
They have this elevated sidewalk thing that you use to go to the beach and wind up in the less fancy area of the beach to boot.
Hamaca and Don Juan are the ONLY AI's on the beach. The 2 non-AI's on the beach, both OK, are Don Emilio (quite new and some growing pains) and Zapata which offers for around US$100-130 an apartment suitable for a family of say 4 or so, a couple of bedrooms if I recall. Unless you hire someone I doubt child care is an option. And not AI so you sing for your supper.
You may (should, really) want to inquire with a tour company (talk to a travel agent at this point - they sell the tour company packages) for Juan Dolio, which is the next town East from Boca Chica since you are destined to fly on I guess CO and land in SDQ vs. an actual resort town. Unless you can get fixed up with Hamaca or DJ.
"Possibly" you can check La Romana, another 40+ Km taxi ride and even more dough I fear, as there are pretty tony resorts there.
Really for 4 days to then go from the SDQ airport to Punta Cana or Puerto Plata is a long trip, and you have to get back, too. So I am thinking they would not be good options, unless you can fly on CO to POP or PUJ instead.
Even for BC I am quite shocked that DB/BC Resort is sold out , esp. 5 months away.
