Everyone was so helpful with my previous question that I thought I'd ask another. I'm researching accommodation options in Cabarete for myself and a friend (we're 2 girls) and possibly a few other people (guys or girls) all in our 20s. My question is- should we limit ourselves to accommodations on the beachfront and stay away from crossing the street at night? In Jamaica I learned that it was much safer to stay on the beach and to walk back to the hotel along the beach as opposed to walking across and/or along the road. I have never been to the Dominican Republic so I realize that may or may not be the case there, but I wanted to find out before I narrow down my options! Thanks in advance!
