Hi everyone,
I would appreciate the help from posters who know the North Coast POP area well.
This will be my second visit for three weeks in Febuary.
I'm having a bit of a predicament in regards to not being able to make my mind up (we've all been there i'm sure).
The first time i visited i stayed in an AI for two weeks, which i really enjoyed. Although most of the time on evenings i ventured OUTSIDE of AI areas.
I'm in two minds as to if i should stay in an apartment this time.
cda1to be exact.
And i have been quoted a good price to stay here which include breakfast of a morning. It looks lovely but as i will be travelling as a lone woman i'm a bit unsure if it's less safe for me to stay here than an AI hotel.
I'm not worried about evenings but being out and about in the daytime as i don't know the town too well.
Plus the fact i'll probably make friends with other tourists really quickly on an AI resort, more than the apartment?
I'm very much the type of person who loves to explore the real country and make friends with locals rather than the tourists, but as i'll be alone quite often i'm not sure which option is best?
The only thing i hear from other tourists are 'It's too dangerous for you to stay outside of an AI' And yet Dominicans say to me 'It's ok as long as it's a good area'.
Just wondering if anyone has stayed at this apartment before and if so what did they think?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
