First time in DR was really excited. Place sure was clean and had a hankering for hygiene! Maids and reception staff very friendly and helpful. Free access to alcohol in rooms - cool if you like rum, otherwise you gotta walk to the nearest bar - which can be quite a trek when you've got a powerful thirst going! Food... more
