A while ago we decided to
spend a month in the Dominican Republic.
We were not interested in the typical tourist spots; instead we looked
for an area away from it all. We found
this on the Samana peninsula, more specifically in Las Terrenas with its
incredible Playa Bonita.
After arriving in Puerto
Plata from Miami, we had to set out on an adventurous two and a half hour ride by van to
Las Terrenas. People definitely drive
differently there. But we made it
without incident in spite of the driving and roads that consisted of pot holes connected
by bits of asphalt.
We settled in at the Hotel
Coyamar, a very nice but small, ten room establishment. After spending an evening in the Coya Bar we
settled in for the night, looking forward to exploring the surroundings.
The hotel was only a few feet
from the Playa Bonita, praised as one of the most beautiful bays in the Caribbean. What followed were four weeks of total
relaxation with great weather, great food and great people.

ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. It was certainly relaxing. Going back is definitely on our bucket list.
DeleteLovely! I plan to visit in a few weeks from Florida. Is there anything you'd recommend I see or try?
ReplyDeleteOur visit to the Dominican Republic was limited to just the Samana peninsula in the northeast. While we enjoyed that very much, unfortunately, I cannot be of much help as far as the rest of the country is concerned.
