Yes, I love this place too! Even though Punta Cana and Cap Cana are beautiful spots, I feel like our island has so many hidden gems that aren’t as touristy. I’m from Santiago, which is the heart of the island, surrounded by mountains in the north. For your next trip, I suggest exploring the north coast—it’s where I grew up going. Check out Cabarete, Cabrera, Las Terrenas, and the entire Samaná Bay. Another must-see is Bahía de las Águilas in Barahona, which they’re now starting to promote more. I took my husband there a couple of years ago—crystal-clear waters, white sands… highly recommend it!

 I just bookmarked this. Yeah, we usually go for the resorts just to get away and relax a bit. However, we will have to do a trip to explore the island more. I appreciate the recommendations 💜. Home is always home. Hope your able to visit DR soon. 

 Appreciate the kind words always 🙏🏽 

 Ayyy Santiago represent! LFG!! Small world!
