The Casa Marina is great :)
Unless you prefer to "hob knob with the hoitty toitty" you should enjoy the Casa Marina Reef (newer part) or Casa Marina Beach. The Casa Marina offers great value for the money. It is a 3 to 3.5 star and that is what you get. If you go with this expectations, you will have fun. While you are there, walk across the street from Reef reception and take in an evening softball game under the lights (bring drinks with you from the hotel!), in the day, take a walk to Playa Sosua, its less than 5 mins away...leave via the Reef turning right, walk until you see the Banco Popular, cross the street and turn left at White Horse Internet Cafe, walk to the next block (Playero) turn right again, cross the street and turn left at La Roca. You can shop til your hearts delight (be warned, the vendors are aggressive but you can make it fun) or just hang out for a while, rent a lounger, take a banana boat ride, enjoy a pina colada or an ice cold Presidente, or a great meal. Try as many restaurants as you can. There are so many. Most offer good food at reasonable prices. At night, start off with a varity show at the Reef, then more drinks at the Calypso. When your ready to really have some fun, head out to the disco's. There are some good ones within walking distance just down from PJ's. You'll love it. Don't worry, be Happy! Sosua is so much fun.
Have a great time.
