Cayo Levantado is a small island off the city of Samana in the Dominican Republic. We took the Whale Samana tour, watching Humpback whales. You can pay an extra $5 and they will take you to this island on the way back to Samana. Beautiful!

Bassin Zim, little-known treasure of Haiti, sits along Central Plateau, eight kilometers away from Hinche. It contains waterfalls, coves, and caves. The falls tumble down in white-clouded streams to four azure coves below: Candelabra, Arc-en-ciel, Bassin Zim, and Wells. Implanted within each cove are colonies of caves lined with mineral rocks. Some contain artwork by indigenous Taino Indians before immigration and colonization began. Considered a spiritual oasis for seekers of nirvana, it is rumored healing here manifests later in positive events in believers' lives. Those who can weather the daunting trek to Bassin Zim are rewarded by an almost unearthly scene of beauty.

The room wasn’t very clean. The curtains were filthy. There was hair in the bathroom. No remote for the tv although we asked several times. Had to ask for washcloths. The food was terrible. I got food poisoning twice.
