I'll be coming to the DR towards the end of Aug for a few days. I'll be based in San Pedro de Marcoris (stepson lives there), but as I didn't see any suitable hotels online, am wondering whether either boca Chica or La Romana would be my best bet. Have been to DR several times, but not familiar with that area. I am one of those spoiled gringos that require luce 24/7, hot water, and AC.
