Dominican Republic - Trip Reports

Riu Merengue, Puerto Plata

Hubby, myself and 5 kids just returned from the Merengue and really had a fantastic time!! Our kids ages 12 - 21 were never bored, lots of activities provided by entertainment staff for all ie: bocce ball, volleyball, water polo, soccer, and more. Poolside Muerengue dance lessons and water aerobics provided by an all enthusiastic entertainment staff were so much fun! Spanish lessons were provided by "Franchesca" every AM for those interested, and evening "ENTERTAINMENT AT MERENGUE was EXCELLENTE, EXCELLENTE"!

My kids developed friendships with kids from Germany and Canada, and gained a real positive multi-cultural experience. I can't give enough praise for the food, service, and welcoming staff there. Every night at dinner the wait staff greeted us with music and singing, and each meal had the most exotic fresh fruit and juices.

Weather was OK, but due to high seas every day, all snorkling and ocean pleasure activities were cancelled.Newly opened "Ocean World" is beautiful -- we swam and played with the Dolphins and caught a cute sea lion show.

The New Years Eve party was a spare-no-expense extravaganza, and I could really go on and on about much more.

Overall, just beautiful accommodations, very relaxing and enjoyable. Would highly reccommend!

Thanks to Barb for this trip report ...
