Ken, the breakfast I had at the Tropical Lodge was the worse I had in the DR. I would NOT recommend it.
Camilo's down the street is good. Had both dinner and breakfast there, both were good tasting and decently priced. [If there for breakfast, ask them for a fruit "shake." They were terrific -- closest I've ever had to the delicious ones my wife makes.] I would strongly recommend Camilo's.
Best Regards,
Keith
