Ya, sorry that is what I ment, the hotel is actually near a small town called El Cedro, some 40 minutes drive east from Miches, and then another 10 minutes along a dirt road towards the sea.

Thanks for that Borec,

So you have found your paradise in the DR, and very nice too.

[Borec]

Unfortunately the paradise is not going to stay there much longer, another 2-5 years I guess, it seems there are big developments plans in motion, one of the lovely beaches Esmeralda has been closed already to public (unless you have a boat), just as well I went there last year. Laguna Redonda is going to be turned into a huge marina. Too bad this used to be all scientific area, it was all scam from the beginning.
Anyway here is a map, Playa Limon is in the vicinity where it says Cabo San Rafae

Borec... how did you get there???? Where did you fly into? Did you take a bus o rent a car???

[Borec]

You need a car to get there, 4x4 if you want to drive along the beaches, but normal car is enough if you just want to get to the beach. As this is not developed you will need all the other stuff too (seats, table, cooler with drinks - you can get ice in most of the villages along the road - shade is provided by the palms), unless you are happy just with a towel.

[Borec]

Sorry, forgot to tell you how to get there, from Santo Domingo, you drive along the road to San Pedro de Macoris (very good road), there you turn to north to Hato Mayor (pot holes), there east to El Seibo (good road), there north to Miches (some stretches of gravel road, and pot holes), there east along the coast untill you arrive to El Cedro (pot holes), some 200 meteres after El Cedros broken bridge you turn north on dirt road adn drive about 4 km. In total about 4-4.5 hours from SD

[Borec]

Oh and I guess you might get there by bus too (local) by doing some bus hoping, getting eventually to El cedro and from there you will need to get a motorbike taxi.

Borec, the photos have an enhanced look to them (like using Fuji Velvia on Cibachrome paper for a well color saturated effect, back in the days before digital cameras and photoshop).

Can you explain how you took them, camera and effects used. Was it an HDR process?

Very nice look to the photos.

I drove with my car this week from El Seibo to Miches. (Mitsubishi Lancer)
The road was very bad.
With a normal car it is more and less impossible.
I don't go any more with my car there.
You need a Jeepeta.

Oh... I was hoping that it was a bit easier.... a Caribe Tour Bus to.... and then a Taxi/Guagua to.....

I would be going it alone....

I'll have to put it off for a little bit and research it a little more...

Thanks..... It looks beautiful. I really want to go..
