一起探索世界Dominica is a Caribbean island country in Central America, adjacent to Haiti and surrounded by the sea on three sides, so it is also an island tourist resort. In addition to the capital Santo Domingo, the most famous travel destination in Dominica is of course Punta Cana. The long white sand beach with clear glass sea, plus the luxury five-star hotel blessing, has become a famous island holiday travel destination. However, Dominica is not only Punta Cana. On the coastal road from Santo Domingo to the airport, you can see the blue sea all the way. The deep and shallow sea water is divided into different blues and is extremely clear. It is very pleasant to sit in a restaurant by the sea, blow the wind and watch the seabirds. Bayahibe, which can be reached by driving west from Santo Domingo for two hours, is also a good place to enjoy white sand beaches + glass sea. Driving north from Santo Domingo for two hours to the north of Dominican Republic, there are relatively few people, you can enjoy a whole beach, ride horses and watch deep cloth. Recommended beach restaurant: Boca Marina (Figure 1), suitable for taking photos Recommended northern hotel: Hotel Alisei, non-all-inclusive, small suite, with kitchen and living room, two minutes walk from the beach. #Creative incentive plan to share 10,000 yuan in cash #Play outdoors #Urban humanities notes #Capture urban humanities #Come here to see the most beautiful sunset

浮年锦记Enjoying a delicious meal accompanied by the sea breeze is actually a blessing from the beautiful scenery. There are not many people who get up early, the sea is calm and deep, and the sun is very warm, making people seem to forget the hustle and bustle of the city. It is a good choice for holidays.

MENGXH25This small street shop alfresco is easy to be overlooked, but the taste is unexpectedly good. The grilled octopus and steak are delicious, tender and smooth, and the presentation is also very good. The shop is not big but it was full in a short time. If you have the opportunity to come to Santo Domingo, you must come here to try it. Recommended!

乐天的静I am so disappointed as I type this review. As a Dominican I had high expectations of visiting this place. It is sad knowing this place has potential, somehow the staff seem to have been trained to ignore customers or be rude. After waiting for several minutes, someone dropped off the menu, we placed an order and got our food. I was alone chatting while two servers dropped off the food, no one came to check after the food dropped off, the glasses were empty and no one offered new drinks. I made eye contact with the two servers who were chatting behind the table and no one was looking at us. Finally I asked for a check with the service charge attached... shame. We were not the only ones who were completely ignored. I am concerned about tourists coming to this place and encountering horrible service from Dominican servers when Dominicans are naturally very friendly and helpful. It is ironic that they have a sign outside the restaurant that reads "If you come to Santo Domingo and have not visited Japan, you have not had the opportunity to know the Dominican Republic". I sincerely hope they can find a way to teach their staff to behave like true Dominicans, helpful, fun, friendly and happy. It's a shame that many people travel to the Dominican Republic and have a bad experience from a place that offers a Dominican experience.

摆渡修行An independent coffee bar with desserts and innovative coffee brewing. With warm wooden materials and a simple open space, the main dish is coffee dessert affogato. It is said to be a small bar at night. This is a must-order signature, ice cream submerged in hot coffee, 70% dark chocolate ice cream plus espresso. The ice cream is made using pakotising technology, which reduces the air in the ice cream and makes it taste delicate and smooth, like mousse.
