Camp David Ranch

[STEVE G.]

Well some people will find very romantic walking up the Pico Duarte and eat some sandwiches there looking down from the mountain ...

I'm not really looking for a tourist attraction and food isn't a priority. What I'm looking for is a romantic ambiance. Dinner under the stars, perhaps horseback riding during the day.
Would you be able to recommend a more romantic getaway for a couple of days and nights.

Personally I still think Camp David Ranch is a good choice for a romantic getaway

Thank you Steve and all others for their replies.

All: If you know of a reliable taxi driver that can take us from Camp David to a romantic dancing place let me know. Any recommendations?

Go to jarabacoa. Horses, rivers, magnificent view of the mountains and not to mention, water falls. Oh but, you will not be able to go dancing. no decent place for dancing there.

if you can plan a cloudless night. you should be able to get to a few dance places in less than20 minutes...even if you went all the way to Los Colinas....

is there a shortcut to Tamboril from that area of Santiago

There is a nice big high roofed club there that is kinda romantic depending on who is playing. The name ends in Altagracia..and the owner actually is the same owner of the resturant the last NYC get together was held at!

Camp David can be romantic but I am not thinking of many dance clubs that ROMANTIC come to mind... they either are usually toooo crowded, or have the wrong kind of music....

Tribecca was probably the most "romantic" if you can call it that , place i have been to in town. because the music wasnt too loud we had a nice corner all to ourselves and we kinda just stood up to dance with in a few feet of our table....but if the place fills up too much..you may be squeezed out of the romantic factor ha ha

Thanks Bob that is great. It sounds like Camp David is the place to be and that Altagracia may be a good dancing place after dinner. Do you thing Jarabacoa is close and nice enough for a day trip?

[laurapasinifan]

did anyone reply about how easy it would be to get to Tamboril from Camp David?

Also Jarabacoa is an easy trip from Santiago...

good luck

Thank you.

Camp David is a very nice place to visit, but as you may have heard the food is just ok, and ends up being a little pricy. That being said they have decent american bfasts and I imagine the lobster tail for dinner should be ok as it's really hard to mess up.

Dancing - stick to Santiago as there are a lot of clubs to choose from.

They just redid the road up the mountain and actually have two access roads from Carr Luperon - don't worry about going up there at night or otherwise. I go there quite frequently with some buddies as it is only 10 min from my house.
