I was thinking about visiting la romana and cayo levantado in the DR in February. I don't know anyone who has been to either place. My main concerns are: are they safe destinations?, is it under developed?, what's to do?, what are the beaches like? I would appreciate any info that I can get!

Thinking of booking a trip to La Romana in July and was wondering if anyone could tell me if there are a lot of bugs that time of year? Thank, Deb

were staying at the viva wyndham dominicus palace in september for our honeymoon. does anyone have any feedback on the weather at that time, what to expect. A friend of mine who goes to DR all the time said that when it rains, it only rains for a short time and then the sun comes right back out. Also if anyone is familiar with where were staying, i'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you

I am looking for recommendations for adventure tours in the southern part of DR, similar to "iguanamama" in north DR (that's just too far for us). Any recommendations? We would love to go caving/hiking.

Does anyone know if the bridge is back in service? I know it was supposed to be in service by early October, but I can't find anything that actually says it has been repaired. I'm supposed to fly into LRM Oct 23, and stay at the Wyndham Beach, but I'm wondering if I should change my flight???

Has anyone been to Cona Coral Hitlon since the hurricanes of September 2004? I know that the bridge is out over the river and heard that the beach is completely washed away. Any details? Thanks! Debbie

Has anyone stayed at Casa Del Mar Resort in La Romana? How is it? We are getting married there in January. Any damage done from the hurricanes? Any info appreciated!!
