Give me a buzz when you get here. Extension 7128. The precautions we always give people, adults or children who come to the country are:
Don't drink water from the tap. We have our own aqueduct and the water is pretty good but don't take any chances. That includes brushing your teeth and washing fruits or vegetables. Bottled water is easy to find and relatively cheap.
After rainfalls mosquitoes can be a bit insistant. Bring repellent or buy it when you get down. Keep the windows and door in the rooms shut so you don't have any buzzing around your ears at night. We fumigate twice a day but as in any place where the weather is nice, we have bugs.
Your villa probably has a pool in the backyard. Fences are not required by law here so keep an eye on her.
Other than that, just enjoy your vacation and get a feel of the dominican culture!
Places you can't miss: Ojos Indigenas Ecological Reserve. It's a 1.4 mile trail through the woods leading from one fresh water lagoon to another. Really beautiful and natural. Wear sneakers and a bathing suit and bring a towel along. The closest one is Yauya about 60 yards from the entrance.
The petting zoo at the Ranch is a favorite with kids. They've got ducks, goats, sheep, chicken, turkeys, a mule, a donkey and a cow. At the Ranch they offer trail rides on the beach and pony rides for the kids.
Six Senses Spa at the Club House. A MUST for those that want to get pampered!!
La Yola Restaurant. The most gorgeous spot for dinner, located in the marina and built over the water. And just to top it off, great food!
Looking forward to meeting you!
