My wife and I and planning visit DR sometime in April. We have thought about Punta Cana - but seems its more of an AI type destination which is not our idea of a vacation. I have also looked at Juan Dolio, Sosua, Cabarete etc. I think I am reaching a point of information overload and too much confusion and hence I am reaching out to all you guys out there who have visted/live there and might have some suggestions for us....
This is what we are looking for our 5-7 nights stay in DR (we are both 30) :
1. Rent a reasonably nice apartment/condo/villa (does not have to be super cheap - something middle of the road) with easy access to the beach. Oceanview would be great.
2. We would like some R&R time by the beach, some snorkelling but also like to venture to local bars/restaurants to mingle with the local people. Engaging in activities such as dance lessons etc. would be great too for interaction.
3. Would like to go for an excursion..e.g Saona island sounded pretty good....
4. We do not need a crazy nightlife but few restaurants/bars would be nice.
So, thats pretty much it. I would appreciate if you could suggest which area of DR might be best keeping our interests in mind, any suggestions for apt/condo/villa rentals and any other pertinent information.
Thanks a lot for your help!!!! Gracias!!
