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 Sosa 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 "caf 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.
