I would visit Santiago between your visit to jarabacoa and the north coast. If you are beach lovers and have a 4wd, I would suggets staying longer in Samana. There is a lot to do and see there.
I personally would not stay so long around Sosua/Cabarete when with my kids.
If you dont want to feel rushed you might want to skip the Southwest and save it for a whole other trip.
If you are on a budget a good family hotel in Santo Domingo (meaning quiet and with two beds) would be La Residencia on Danae (Gazcue). Around 1000p w/ac.
How do you plan on getting your car from samana back to punta cana? The ferry service does not transport cars.
You child will love it!
