Because of its optimal location
close to the United States, the lovely warmth of the people, the
beaches and myriad of watersport and outdoor activities, the Dominican
Republic offers the Caribbean's most enjoyable experience.
Activities and Nightlife
In the immediate surrounding area, windsurfers
and kite boarders will be challenged by Cabarete's gusty bay and
top-notch surf-in, surf-out sailing operations. Equally unbeatable
are the local surf beaches, particularly Encuentro, near Sea Horse
Ranch. Cabarete offers exciting excursions for bikers, cascaders
and outdoor enthusiasts. The hopping night life will get anyone
to sashay down the beach to the beat of live music and enjoy the
best cuisine in the Caribbean (sushi, Tuscan, Moroccan, Spanish,
Provencal).
Nearby Sosúa maintains its polyglot and
heterogeneous spirit with Swiss bakeries, Italian trattorias and
German sausage makers.
Dominican Hospitality
Venture into the Victorian seaside town of Puerto
Plata where you can roam the streets stopping by small bakeries
to savor typical local delights like "pan de agua" (water
based bread) and a delicious "café con leche" (hot
coffee and cream) at a soda shop with friendly smiles and Dominican
hospitality. Take a ride in a cable car up the presiding Mount Isabela,
visible from the Beach Club at Sea Horse Ranch, and hike the flowered
trails amongst swishing clouds.
