Juan Dolio
And its neighbor beach town Guayacanes are for those who seek a couples or family restful vacation but like being able to take many excursions. If you are staying in Juan Dolio, you are equidistant from the culture, shopping and dining and nightlife of Santo Domingo, great beaches, scuba diving and other attractions in La Romana, and just half an hour away from busy Boca Chica. The town of Juan Dolio is very long and thin, following the shoreline. There are only two roads: the highway and a small beach road that connects all the hotels, so you can walk, jog or cycle in safety here. This destination is perfect for those looking for a quiet escape with all the comforts of home. There is nightlife primarily at the hotels but this is not what you would call a “party hearty” destination.
Attractions:
Those seeking action can head for the area's casinos, discos, 18-hole golf course or participate in the water sports programs offered by the many large all-inclusive complexes.
Go Kart Bahn is a racetrack on the highway to San Pedro where go karts can be rented for a fast spin around the track.
Expected to be open to the general public in January 2002, the Cueva de las Maravillas is one option in the vicinity. Down under, browse at the very good collection of pre-Columbian art.
There’s a bowling alley at the far eastern end of the beach road, past the Melia Juan Dolio.
Tropical Plantation is on the Hato Mayor-Sabana de la Mar road due north of Juan Dolio. This working flower farm has a fairy-tale botanical garden and a natural green jungle with a labyrinth of paths where the fun is in getting lost and finding your way out again.
Make friends with a local and get him or her to take you to a night baseball game in the San Pedro Tetelo Vargas Stadium. The winter baseball season runs from October through the end of January. Sammy Sosa owns a disco in San Pedro city. Some big leaguers like Jose Lima and Bartolo Colon come home during the off season to play for the ‘folks’ back home. This year's baseball season is especially exciting, with Alfonso Soriano, Vladimir Guerrero and many others making up the Estrellas Dream Team.
