I agree with Jim's comments on the Tropicalissimo. The night we went at least 1/4 of the audience left before it was over including our party. The singers and dancers were really quite good but the venue was so poor and definitely not conducive to watching a show. In my opinion, I would add Higuey to the places not to waste your time on. Manati Park is about 15 minutes from the Bavaro and it is a nice change of pace and you can swim with dolphins. Reservations for the swim must be made as soon as you arrive in P.C. The resort complex is full of activities and just walking around the grounds is a pleasurable experience. The shows in the hotels each night are a lot of fun as long as you're not one of the audience participants. Enjoy!
