I've definitely experienced the fact that, in general, ***** that aren't worth hiding, are also not worth seeing.
Also thinking about taking a day to go SCUBA diving - my PADI advanced open water and EANx cards haven't been taken out of my safe since earning them in the Red Sea 4 years ago.

If you want any info please pm me. I can assist you while you're here. Don't move around the area on your own. Security is getting worse.
The hotel you're staying at is pretty good.
The beach is just outstanding.

Paul and Artie rented a car and drove to Santo Domingo where they proceeded to eat at my house and we drove around the city that day. They visited a couple of the local tourist attractions and we really enjoyed their company.
Anyone of you planning on coming or coming to visit are welcomed to do the same thing and we'll pick you up upon entering the city.
We'll provide lunch at our home.
Braineack, careful moving around the area.

I consider "everywhere" to be a place to worry about - so I make sure to stay paranoid at all times when I'm "everywhere". I'll most likely stick to the touristy area, no plans for anything like "backpacking" or "seeing the country".
Rafa, when your buddy gets home, ask him if there are any "best places" to dive there in the middle of June - I understand there is a vast difference between Bavaro, Half an hour north, and half an hour south depending on the season.

BTW, it's ok to move around during the day. Just don't drive around on your own at night.
I'll also check which "group tour" is currently available worth trying.
