Mitch
What type of activity? A-I ....do you want to just stay at the resort....or are you gonna be out and about all the time? If your gonna be out and about....remember every drink and meal you buy outside of the resort.....your paying twice for it! Then again if it is your first time in the DR.....maybe a A-I is the way to go , to get the lay of the land....so to speak. Personally I think staying at a little hotel is best, so as, you come and go as you please and eat what you want when you want! Some others will reply Mitch, listen and take it all in and then make your decision! Also what part of the island are you flying into....how long you staying? These answers will help people give a more informed answer! What ever you do.....you should have a wonderful time(I always do!)and remember to come back and let us know how your vacation went!
HAVE FUN & BE CAREFUL
