I need help Im planning this trip for 7 single women in their mid-twenties and I cant choose between these hotels. less families the better and a nice beach with clear water. The pool has to be nice as well. Alcohol 24 hrs a day is a must. we are doing the all-inclusive plan. Help me!!!!

very fancy , top shelf liquor at the Breezes chain. Keep in mind that the water in front of one hotel is the same water in front of the other hotel so it is likely not a big influencer for this pick.

How different would you think the water in the sea would be for two adjacent hotels? Sorry, I should say ib frony of two hotels, which I think means in front in your language.

And again you should really practice saying the name of the town which is Sosua S - O - S - U - A , soos-ooo-ah. Not Sousa, or soosa.

I'm not too sure in front (or frony) of either there are a lot of snorkel worthy fish to see whatsoever unless they have a reef nearby.

AI's are AI's are AI's and you know, they are all the same, e.g. boring and totally unlike the country they are in. You and the gals should find a smaller hotel, live in the town, eat in various restaurants, see the people and not hide among a lot of other tourists. It really is boring and not travelling at all.

Two properties right in Sosua but I still think you would be happier in Cabarete - more people your age looking for the same thing.

Both properties are upscale. Easier to get off of the property at Sosua Bay than Breezes. Cabarete is younger for sure and the people that run Sosua Bay run a property in Cabarete. Never stayed at either but have been to Breezes and Sosua Bay and both are nice.

IMHO is the average traveller doing the AI thing all the time is totally missing all the adventrue and the fun of a small local hotel, eating in the various eateries and buying drinks etc., at a colmado and going to the beach and beach bars.

All this staying with your neighbors essentially in a walled compund means you haven't "travelled" at all other than to a place where the wages ar so low they can package food and booze for next to nothing inside a prison.

Any AI could be in any of Mexico, Central America, the DR, Cuba, for all it matters to the tourist and the experience is always the same.

I am not even convinced anymore that you save money since you can use the airfare part of the same AI charter trip to save money over say, AA, and then live on your own for no more than the hotel / meal part costs.

And going out on a "safari truck" or "catamaran to Sanoa" etc., with a gaggle of fellow caucasians, is not going into the country as much as it is keeping you protected forom the actual country.

Bah humbug to these resorts.

Okay I know what you are saying But I am on vacation. If their was a six star hotel in that area I would stay their. I want a beautiful beach , great pool with a swim up bar, a good room, and no cash in my pocket. I am going out everynight and yes to the local bars, because I would probally not want to hang out with people at my resort. I plan on skinny dipping nightly, and watching the sun rise with a beer in my hand and hopefully some hot stud next to me. I love a good night life and for the record I love an exotic night life. Im looking for something like Thailand( I was their for 3 -weeks; crazy!!!!) If I had all the money in the world I would go to Sardinia(italy) or paradise beach(mykonos). My point is I want a vacation and I want to be pampered( I know it is a third world country). An all-inclusive is better with a big group as well.(no splitting up bills etc.....) Im sorry to dissapoint you.

Where is Breezes located? Is it on Sosua Beach?
