151

Yes to the meet and greet. Newsflash - I definately cannot keep up with you in the drinking department. Cheap drunk.

To keep this on topic, make sure to buy your rum to take home - do not buy the white bottles as they easily break in suitcases. Buy the darker bottles and wrap them in your dirty laundry to take home. 151 proof rum cannot be taken back home. And it is yucky as well anyway.
:surprised Hi Planner, Many Thanks for info on beds, will have to talk it over with my mate, By chance do you know where I can get a email address for the hotel, You can PM me if you would like, Now Ref the 151, The last 3 times I have been to the DR, I allways brought a few bottles of 151 to take home with me, because it's sooooooooo good and smooth It will make you go to sleep very quickly if like me you drink a whole bottle, Have they brought in a new rule stopping you from taking it out of the Country then. Brian

Ocean Water Temperatures

Planner et al:

Someone asked about ocean water temperatures a few days ago. The latest reports from buoys and ships just north of the coast show 25 to 27 C (77-81 F) - ie. nice and refreshingly warm.

Enjoy!

Hi,

Whats this place like for us who are in are 20's & single

IF you are asking where is good to go out to at night : Mangu on the resort. It is well liked by your age group and there will be lots of other from the other resorts too.

IF you are asking about what resort to go to? That is another question. Send me an email and I will answer you privately.

Happy Holidays - did not get your PM please resend or email me.

Go leafs go - I need some additional info and will have no problems sending you that letter! I need full name, flight details and your contact info at home.

Wine - The wine here is generally not great. Probably a mid level sweetness and not an expensive brand. I've not found one resort here with good wine. And if you are bringing your own - are you sharing???

Brijohn - Email for the hotel fcabrera@do.occidentalhotels.com is Freddy Cabrera, the manager. OR try info@do.occidentalhotels.com

151 is now illegal to take out of the country. They stop you at the airport and ask if you have it. They will possibly go thru your luggage to find it..... THey then take it away from you.... And what fun is falling asleep from 151?

Then Mangu will work well for you! Ask at check in about sitters. Other options are

Hemingways - at Playa Dorada Plaza

Roadway - just behind Playa Dorada Plaza

Also I dont' think I have mentioned before - there is a theatre in Playa Dorada Plaza on the upper level. There are 3 cinemas and they are comfortable and air conditioned. Cost is about 100 pesos or $3 US. The movies are not first run but often are great movies. Check to see if they are English with Spanish subtitles. Sometimes they are in Spanish....

Generally yes - the seas are rougher now because of offshore winter storms........ Is that right kuhny??? He is my weather guru....... I am just the weather girl......

April tends to be calmer and hotter!

This is generally correct. The weather charts are showing a large winter storm forming in the North Atlantic by Friday of this week. These generate large areas of ocean waves called swells - which often make it into the tropics a couple days later. Hence the larger waves that may show up at times on the north shore, even when the local winds are fairly light.

April starts to get calmer and is defiinitely hotter .. but you can still have strong North Atlantic storms churning about then too.

I wonder if any of the people who they filmed were really holidaying there and if they ever come on this forum - if you are out there let us know!!!![/QUOTE]


They were filming the video the week while we were there (beginning of Dec). I recognize some of the faces in the group shots, mostly the kids. I have no idea if the people talking about the resort were guests, but I would hope so!
