I am travelling to Cabarete with my partner next Friday staying at Aparthotel Caracol for 2 weeks. :laugh:
As I am a newbie to the DR, have never been to anywhere like this and have not travelled outside the UK for 11 years :disappoin I was wondering if there was anyone out there who could give me some general hints and tips so I don't get ripped off (as we are self catering). I booked the DR as a friend of mine has been and she said it was the friendliest of the Carribbean Isles but sometimes I can be too nice for my own good and frequently get conned.
Also, we are taking my mother-in-law as she has had a really rough ride of it lately so we thought she could use some cheering up. She is in her late 50's and upon visiting some of the discussions on this site it seems that Cabarete has quite a young lively party atmosphere - do you think she will fit in?
Finally, does anyone know when Race Week starts in Cabarete this year?
Many thanks guys (and girls)
