Juan Dolio, Dominican Republic

The seaside town of Juan Dolio, located on the Caribbean coast, about 62 miles from Santo Domingo, is less attractive than Punta Cana, the Dominican Eldorado for Europeans. Indeed, the beaches are far from seductive and the colour of the sea remains far from blue turquoise. The only interest in Juan Dolio, apart from its relatively cheap hotels and some shops, is certainly its proximity to the capital.

Hotels with a good level of quality.
Many sporting activities.

Dominican lifestyle reduced to its simplest expression.

The hotels may be comfortable but make sure you do not stay there the whole time, get out and enjoy the rest of the island. Take a car or bus on the well-maintained speedway (autopista), which connects the resorts along the coast, to find the sublime beaches and the Dominican population.

The stews (mondogo, sancocho) are common, with goat meat or fish cooked in coconut milk being prime examples.
