It was my first time visiting the DR, in Puerto Plata, and I had a blast. I was able to get away from the cooler temperatures in Canada, and was able to celebrate Christmas on the beach. According to the weather websites I was expecting rain throughout the week, but fortunately, we had great weather, at 29 degrees celsius.
In case anyone is staying in a hotel (i.e. Occidental Grand Flamenco) along the Playa Dorada, I recommend the new disco called "Mangu". I went to check it out, and if you like dancing to merengue, salsa, etc. (plus top 40 hits), that's the place you want to be. If you are staying in one of the Occidental hotels, you should be able to get free cover into the disco, which is open every night!
Just wanted to let everyone know that my trip to the DR was GREAT!
