Hi, I'm interested in planning a trip to DR in early January '09. Please help me find the right town for me. I want to stay in a beach town, with a little bit of nightlife (bars, or a merengue lesson, etc.). I won't be driving so I need to be able to walk around or catch a taxi - walking distance to the beach would be great.
I'm not looking for a luxury (resort) hotel - something simple, clean, and friendly is good. Definitely want to interact with locals. Between Cabarete, Sosua, and Puerto Plata which would you recommend to me? I want to visit beaches that I can swim and snorkel in. Also if there are opportunities for day-tours to other attractions, that would be great also. Thanks, Greg
