The Best Time Ever
Let me tell you about my trip to the Dominican Republicāit was technically for business, but it felt like much more. The property was huge, but I was the only guest. I chose this place because itās between Higuey and the resort area, giving me options in my free time. Though I was alone, the host, Dilenia, made sure I never felt isolated, graciously inviting me to her familyās gatherings, making it personal and special.
The property looked just like the picturesāclean, inviting, and perfect for families or groups. The real gem: if you stay here, pay for the chef! His food was incredible. Every meal was an event. Iām a salt, pepper, and hot sauce guy, but trust me, you wonāt need any of that here. Even a simple breakfast of eggs, bacon, and toast was next level. The bacon is different from what we get in the Statesāfresh from the market, not prepackaged. I even got to go with the chef to the market, and it was amazing.
I rented a car but hired one of the staff to drive me around instead. Driving in the DR is wildāmopeds everywhere, and no one follows the rules. The property is a straight shot from the airport, but if youāre driving, do it in daylightātrust me. At night, the dirt road to the house is pitch black, like something out of a horror movie.
I had a blast, especially when Chavez, my driver, took me to local bars and a disco. Iāll definitely be back, next time with family and friends. Until next time, DR, Iāll miss youāand especially you, Dilenia!
