teenagers welcome?
My daughter and I are going to stay at the Grand Ventana in DR in the new year. She is 14 years old and has some questions about weather or not she is going to be the only teenager there. Not that she doesn't want to hang with the old farts, but is into doing a little local schmoozing with kids her age. Any Feedback?

No, she won't be the only teenager. I have stayed many times at the Gran Ventana and there have always been youngsters there. She won't have to hang around the old farts unless she wants to.

we have stayed in Playa Dorada 6 times, dont worry she won't be the only teenager there, plus the staff make everybody very welcome, if she is the kind that gets involved with activities and things - she will be fine!

Gran Ventana is great
I've stayed at that hotel many times , by myself or with my wife and my two kids. Is a very family friendly place to stay and food is ok.

Chico,
Don't just give them the usual talking to, explain to them that in the DR, if they are caught by the police with drugs, they are in for some SERIOUS problems. This way, if they are approached by someone, they will have already made up their minds that it wouldn't be worth it anyway and will not make a poor decision which could lead to a ****load of problems for them and you.

Chico, I don't think you'll even have a problem. In Jamaica it's different, drugs are readily available on every corner. Not so in DR in my experience. If they have the good sense to "just say no" they'll be fine wherever they are in the world.
