Well I did like it, but i kind of expected more from the Cabarete, Sosua and Puerto Plata. It stroke me as too ordinary too touristy (and I prefer the secluded spots) and not much of an amazing scenery, or I am too spoiled (I have travel through all South America, Australia and some Tahiti). Otherwise there are some beautiful spots along the coast, like Playa Diamante or Playa Preciosa and Punta Rucia. It is just a shame that locals are so messy and leave all that mess behind spoiling the natural beauty considerably. I just lament I did not made it to the coast between Punta Rucia and Monte Cristi, and probably never will now. I have also probably missed some beautiful places for not being able to get to them through the private land, next time I would take few padlocks and big chain cutters :-). And I might have missed some amazing sites out of pure ignorance. Nevertheless I loved the short trip.
And would not hesitate to do it again and again and again.
