check out debbies dominican hotel reviews , iam pretty sure you can access it from hispinola.com, there are many up to date reviews, and all of them tend to agree that it is definitely a 5 star resort, will be visiting this year. good luck,
We were there last year at this time and had a wonderful time. No casinos or nightlife nearby but the R&R with outstanding accomodations were great. We have some pics of our trip at the following website. When are you going? We plan on going in the next few weeks.
WE WILL BE GOING 10-17 OF JAN. STAYING AT RIU MERENGUE. IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME FOR MY WIFE AND I IN DR. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE. GARY AND DEB'S WEB SITE WAS VERY HELPFUL.
