the old juan dolio, is where some of the all inc. are located, decameron, talanquera, coral costa caribe, etc. is closer to guayacanes. the hotel i mentioned is just about 2 years old., is right on the beach, there are bars and restaurant, next to the hotel. less than a mile is Aura, a fancy restaurant with gourmet seafood and nice ambient. there is another great seafood restaurant in guayacanes (dont rememmber the name) and Dely swiss (one of the best in the country).
the new juan dolio, is just a bunch of new buildings condo, some of them in const. with a very ugly design, that somebody is calling the south beach of the caribbean. (this is the most ridiculous thing i have heard in years). I will like that somebody tell me where are the bars and rest. that you can compare with the ones in ocean drive, washignton ave or collins road, which hotel you can compare with Delano or Tides, where is lincoln road in Juan dolio?
where are the brands boutiques like armany, calvin klein, etc in juan dolio.
Please stop calling juan dolio, south beach of the caribbean. JD doesnt have a 2% of what south beach has to offer.
