Sosua vs. Punta Cana/snorkeling/fun

[tiredmom]

We are looking for a nice relaxing vacation with lazing on the beach and snorkeling as our primary pursuits.

A bit undecided between finding a nice (inexpensive) little hotel in Sosua (heard good things about the Tropix) or checking into a resort in Punta Cana.

Between the two, which do you think has the best snorkeling?

Also, as we will be parents with a toddler and grandma in tow as well, is Sosua a bit too rowdy?

Alternatively, will going to a resort in Punta Cana bore us beyond reason?

So many questions!

Much appreciation for your thoughts.

Don't know about Punta Cana but had a visitor last month, who dives regularly and he spent a most enjoyable day in Sosua bay just snorkelling about. Saw lots of fish and only the odd piece of garbage in the immediate beach area!

Try the guys at North Coast Divers. They are very helpful and would know all the best spots. Or ask Marc at...

I have heard that other than the All Inclusives in Punta Cana there is hardly a thing to do there. I prefer the North Coast although I am going to Santo Domingo tonight to catch a Dominican Crafts fair tomorrow with the Wacky Packy and some dinner and fun this evening.

I enjoy Sosua and North Coast Diving in Sosua is a class operation with great people working there.
