Catalonia Gran Dominicus - All Inclusive Bayahibe

Since my return to the DR, I have been working very closely with the Rotary Club of Consuelo, as my club in Dartmouth, NS is planning a joint-development project in one of the bateyes near Consuelo. I have gotten to know the club members very well over the past year, and some of them have become my closest friends here. Even though there is a Rotary club in San Pedro, which is much closer to Juan Dolio, my heart and my club's work is with the Rotary ...

... the coral was amazing - very diverse, with huge fan corals and sponges. I've never seen such large coral formations. There was also a good diversity of fish, if not abundance. We also saw a ray and a pair of lobster. The water was warm, with no current or surge, so it was nice easy diving. Unfortunately Shen has been utterly spoiled by the fact that his first ocean dives were in Hawaii. When you think that diving ...

Fui en el autobus a el Parque Nacional del Este. Fui a acampar en el parque y fui a pescar en el agua. Fui a subir en las arboles. Fue a estar fenomenal. Fui a ver los animales.

... It looked either volcanic or apocalyptic. Then, as we reached the coast, there were hills of that same bleached earth, looking like immovable sand dunes, with the same deep green water winding its way between to flow into the ocean. I hoped that this was the national park in the Dominican Republic that's near our hotel, but I later decided that it wasn't the right flight path/timing to be the DR. It made me realize, however, that there are wonders in the Caribbean. Here ...

As I mentioned before, I didn't do my homework. And the too good to be true price we paid for the week turned out that obviously there was a reason. May is the rainy season in DR. The day started out well - we hit up the beach and did some kayaking and swimming in the ocean and then headed to the pool where we planned to remain the rest of the day. But come later in the ...

... things really started to bother me. The hotel really tries to get you to interact with staff and other guests - which just really isn't my style. I don't like to make small talk and I don't like to be put into these situations...Well, at club med they sit you at large tables with guests and their staff also comes to sit with you as well.<br><br>We were the only guests there in our ...

... of the country. It was actually the same quoted price whether we booked together or separate so we booked separately to make our lives easier.

We were then informed that we were put in a room together. We were told that they don't allow singles and that ...

... our wonderful apartment we were back on top form. The complex was gorgeous including two large pools, a pristine beach and excellent local cuisine. As we sat at the bar on that first evening any remaining worries were carried away on the back of a few complimentary rum punches. The weather all week was warm and sunny we sunbathed, swam and walked along the beach. Every evening we would gaze at the palm trees silhouetted by the setting sun. Normally the trips on ...
