all inclusive near el cortecito

near el cortesito you will find, Paladium, melia caribe-tropical, edenh, barcelo dominican beach, etc.
It,s not true that dominican can get better rates, local rates most times are even higher.
I always book my reservation in bookit.com or hotels.com, they have great rates. sometimes half price of the local rate.
from those hotels your best choice is Melia. and the less, dominican beach.

hotel carabela is right in cortecito. its all-inclusive and cheap. where is the apartment you rent. i know some people from miami that have a 2bed/2bath apartments in cortecito also

i double Amanda's recommendation.
the Carabela offers great rates,
i am there myself quiet often even that i live in PC.

Mike, I have heard bad stuff about Carabela... like cucarachas in the rooms, etc. is it really THAT bad?

In the town of cortecito the carabella is there and right on the beach
i got married there and my friends all stayed there

Also there is a place almost directly across from there
it has two pools its a condo
it has two queen beds
and is gorgeous
called santa maria del mar
its an apt condo thats where i alwasy stay
it has everything

hi Rubio,
no, i can sure not proof such.
i stay there at the Carabela with my wifey(and kids stay at home)
for our anniversay every May plus 1-2 more long weekends per year.
i never saw a cucaracha at a room or somewhere nearby, even that one would not surprise me nowhere in the area, i mean we know both where we live.
after our visit to the EdenH '09 easter weekend we sure will be back again at the Carabela mid May(15th is the birthday of my "Boss").
Vintage,
the Santa Maria Condos are right in front, yeap,
good spot, but the rates at the Carabela are less and they are for all inclusive,
and it is located right on the beach.
