In its 13 December issue, the New York Post highlighted what it named ?a list of the top five properties booked by New Yorkers in the past year,? that is ?where your neighbors went on vacation this year ? listed by number of bookings.? The newspaper pointed out that the DR took the top two spots with Casa Colonial Beach & Spa ?Just 40 rooms centered around a lovely mansion ? this place is severely sexy, even if Puerto Plata?s no Punta Cana.? And Sivory Punta Cana, which it describes as ?Very popular new entry outside of PC-proper, we?d definitely choose Casa Colonial though.? Others listed in the top five are Saint James in Paris, Hotel Art by Piazzi di Spagna in Rome, and Grand Hotel & Thalasso Spa in Saint Jean de Luz, France.
