8/10
Let me tell you about my trip to the Dominican Republicâit was technically for business, but it felt like much more. The property was huge, but I was the only guest. I chose this place because itâs between Higuey and the resort area, giving me options in my free time. Though I was alone, the host, Dilenia, made sure I never felt isolated, graciously inviting me to her familyâs gatherings, making it personal and special.
The property looked just like the picturesâclean, inviting, and perfect for families or groups. The real gem: if you stay here, pay for the chef! His food was incredible. Every meal was an event. Iâm a salt, pepper, and hot sauce guy, but trust me, you wonât need any of that here. Even a simple breakfast of eggs, bacon, and toast was next level. The bacon is different from what we get in the Statesâfresh from the market, not prepackaged. I even got to go with the chef to the market, and it was amazing.
I rented a car but hired one of the staff to drive me around instead. Driving in the DR is wildâmopeds everywhere, and no one follows the rules. The property is a straight shot from the airport, but if youâre driving, do it in daylightâtrust me. At night, the dirt road to the house is pitch black, like something out of a horror movie.
I had a blast, especially when Chavez, my driver, took me to local bars and a disco. Iâll definitely be back, next time with family and friends. Until next time, DR, Iâll miss youâand especially you, Dilenia!
