Description from owner

Description

Your private living space is awaiting you in a safe community at the outskirts of a typical Dominican village. We are located in the National Park Isabel de Torres and we are surrounded by sugar cane fields. We are very close to the tourist complex of Playa Dorada and the beach (about 5 km). Public transportation is a 5 minute walk from the property and leaves every 4 minutes. They can take you to Playa Dorada, the beach, or anywhere on their route in Puerto Plata for less than 1 US dollar. It is also inexpensive to take public taxis to other beaches such as Sosua or Caberete.

Your room is furnished and includes an equipped kitchen, wifi internet, electricity, and propane gas for cooking. It includes access to all grounds, kiosks, a pool table, and swimming in the river at SunCampDR. Some of the activities include spanish lessons, excursions such as horseback riding and the 27 waterfalls, and volunteering action in the local community.

Get to know the real Dominican Republic and its culture in a safe immersion. We have a unique site on the island that offers a peaceful, rewarding experience that you will not forget! For an additional fee, we will welcome you at the bus station or airport in Puerto Plata with transportation to our place. We offer free guidance and an orientation on site. The Munoz River runs through our property and offers a natural place to swim. Many guests walk to the beach or walk to converse with local people in the friendly village. We have been here for 17 years and our guests are very welcome! We have a bar restaurant by the river where all the guests gather to exchange stories about their daily experience, give tips to others, or plan an excursion or outing to the local disco! Your vacation can be a retreat or an adventure; your choice!

We are here to assist you the best we can to make your stay enjoyable in our rustic set up in nature! We offer Spanish and dancing lessons and also excursions at discounted prices; direct with local people, such as horseback riding for 20 US dollars. Opportunities to volunteer in the local community exist as well. Welcome to all!
