One of the best, if not the best Dominican chefs of all time, Puerto Plata-born Rafael Vasquez has just joined Casa Colonial, the 50-room boutique hotel that is located in Playa Dorada, Puerto Plata. Vasquez?s creative and delicious food is reason enough for visiting the hotel whose restaurants are open to the general public. Son of Rafi Vasquez, one of Puerto Plata?s leading artists, Rafael Vasquez?s creations complement the exquisitely decorated restaurants, works of art by hotel designer, Puerto Plata architect Sara Garcia. Vasquez was previously chef at the lauded Hotel Villa del Sol at Ixtapa-Xihuatanejo, Mexico. Casa Colonial is one of just six Small Luxury Hotels in the Caribbean.
