I've got to say that I am very disappointed with the area. The amount of drug usage in the area has increased dramatically. I saw for the first time in the DR some one smoking crack right in the street. I was disgusted. I was approached by girls probably as young as 12 or 13 years old for the purposes of prostitution. The beach is dirty. The venders are annoying. I saw people fighting on the beach and apparently high on drugs. My 11 year old daughter was bothered by some a$$hole on the beach. He was making advances toward her. I am glad for his sake and mine that I did not find him after she told me about him. My daughter did not feel comfortable in going back to the beach. We ended going to Juan Dolio most of the time. I have to say that I love Juan Dolio. The beach is clean. No venders bother you and no low lifes hanging out. My daughters feel alot safer in Juan Dolio. We looked at some condos in the area and are considering buying in the area. I think the area has alot of potential. We also took a trip to Samana and loved the area. That may be an area that we need to look at. Everyone in the family loved Samana. I want to go back in February for the whales.

Glad to read that you like Juan Dolio, look me up the next time you're in the area.
