Hi,
This is my 1st post, a real "newbie". Not certain if I'm supposed to start a new thread to bring this ttt or not? Usually post on Fodors & Thorntree but this place is No.1 for DR advice. We are a family of 4, 2 adults & 2 kids 12 & 10. We love off the beaten track, smallish hotels, beaching, snorkelling, hanging out. WE can fly from Montreal to Samana & we wanted to head to Hotel Las Ballenas Escondidas for 3-4 days then on to Las Galeras(Todo Blanco or Sol Azul) for the remainder. Our objecive is to see the Limon waterfalls, Playa Fronton & Madame, Playa Rincon, etc. WE don't mind moving from one hotel to the other & it;s what we normally do to see a little of each area....Any input, advice, tips, whatever...? 1st timers to DR.
