Thumbs up

All good try to do all but jeep safari on your own as prices charged for city tour are a rip off

outback jungle safari: fun but expensive, as it has been pointed out. the only thing is that travelling alone in rented jeep you will not get info into plantations to see cocoa, coffee and other exotic stuff (but i was curious about it, you may not be). check what does safari offer, sometimes they have a horseback ride (horses are very calm, more like ponies, so if you LIKE horse-riding better don't do it), and they always include lunch. best if you have some friends here who can drive you through the countryside.

amber museum: never been

mount isabel: i like it, good place for picnic and views are stunning! one of my favourite places in POP.

brugal factory: very noisy, it's like being in discovery channel "how it's made". you can buy lots of memorabilia, good gifts for those back home.

malecon: nothing to be seen, really. nice walk thou. ocean on one side, dominican architecture on the other.

san felipe: i never made it during opening hours, gotta work...

my advice is a cemetery, very weired.

There is an entire long thread going already on this topic. Do a search and find it. By the way, it is Holiday Place.

Is the cable car open?
It often seems to be closed for repairs when I am in town.
Plus sometimes there are not enough people around to get them to go up.

never had the trouble... but they do have a last ride around 5, maybe earlier at this time of the year. and they may not work in a weather like today...
