After reading your review and viewing your photo's I'm so..... excited......!!!!!

We (my "Mom") and I will be visiting this Resort in two weeks! I upon booking, felt that this may not be the best of "Holidays" but felt the price was well worth it.........."Now" (after finding your info).....I think I capitalized on a typo error!

Will be in touch upon our return.....again, thank you for all the info. This holiday retreat is looking better and better........

Outstanding, As Usual!
I always enjoy your photos Bob - no matter how I run across them (Debbie's Dominican Travel, DR1 or just by googling the DR!) I came across your latest trip just now and it brought a tear to my eye - I miss the DR with my whole heart and your photos have made me even more nostalgic!! You really capture the beauty of the country and her people in your shots. Thank you for sharing your work with the rest of us - it was just what I needed today!

Warm Regards, Nicole
