Miami (MIA) to Santo Domingo (SDQ)

8.8/10 Excellent! (235 reviews)

A unique, attractive, boutique-like facility with lots of attention paid to detail appearance. Very nice, stylish rooms. Excellent very helpful staff (limited English speaking). Somewhat “strange” partnership with neighboring facility where connecting ponds water features are located (a fair walk, especially the return uphill). Fairly isolated and difficult to get to with very limited activities.

The resort was fantastic! It was the perfect weekend getaway! the one caveat being that the water gets murky when a storm was in the area but I've swam in the Schuykilk River so I'm the snob
