I guess as a new member of this message board I should say hello first, so ?hello to all?. That being said I would like to thank all the folks who take the time to respond to the questions posted here. As an occasional visitor here over the past several months, I have learned a great deal about the Dominican Republic.
Now to the point of my post, I?ve been pondering another trip to the Caribean for a while, (been to the DR twice before, Puerto Plata & La Romana, both times in an all inclusive). I now find I have the time for another trip, (recently laid off, and in no hurry to go back to work). I?m thinking about staying for a month, maybe February, maybe longer, obviously my schedule is flexible. The question is lodging, where can I find long term lodging at a reasonable rate, not in an all inclusive or even in a large resort? Possibly not even a resort at all, possibly someplace other than DR. I simply need some R&R with Sun, Sand and Rum, preferably I would like to find a small cottage, one room would be fine, but I would like something with a kitchenette, and private bath, under $1,000 US a month. I prefer Puerto Plata over La Romana, but am open to suggestions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
