		Apartment accommodations, a good alternative to the all-inclusive hotels. Most people come unprepared to discover the real Dominican Republic because most have booked an all-inclusive resort and their mindset is that everything is already paid for. While the resorts include the meals, beverages with beach and poolside games, it seems a shame to travel this far and then stay stuck in the resort just because meals and beach volleyball are free.

You will love the people and the country when you get to see the real lifestyle but most of the hotel tours don't show you the real Dominican Republic. Most hotels have become all-inclusive and as a result the people staying there only get to see other tourists. The hotels tell the tourists that it is not safe to go outside the hotel complex at night and only with tours in the day time. THIS IS NOT SO!!! As for safety, it has been my experience, it is entirely safe. Although there are occasions where single men and women have had a member of the opsite sex try to pick them up, love that "Latin" culture. Or a taxi driver has taken a customer for a few extra pesos. These incidents have been very few in number, and violent crime is much less than back in downtown Toronto.

	"Condo Apartments" accommodation in Puerto Plata. Our "Condo Apartments" accommodations is located on a hillside over looking the Puerto Plata area. Just a 5 minute walk to downtown Puerto Plata. The apartments are fully furnished and with it's Canadian host and his Dominican wife a family run apartment complex. "Field of Dreams Inn" across from the Playa Dorada complex. This small hotel is walking distance to the Robert Trent Jones golf course, a shopping mall, 3 casinos and numerous discos all located in the complex. This hotel is ideal for people who wish to experience the local culture of a destination & meet some of the offbeat expatriate crowd who live on this island. We're located 15 minutes by car from the airport, 2 minutes from the Playa Dorada complex (with golf, shopping, casinos and nightlife).
	The lifestyle of the Dominican is a contrast in perceptions. Most of the Dominicans who have never been off the island believe that everyone living in Canada and United States are rich. This is because of two factors, the first is the tourists they see spend money like water and second is, returning Dominicans want to impress all their friends as to how successful they are. The contrasting mistake made by the tourists is not appriciating that the average worker makes less than 200.us per month. Cars, clothes, shoes, radios, televisions and even food costs more than in the states. The only thing that maybe cheaper is housing and that could be debated as most tourists would not be content to live in such small homes. Don't be fooled by thinking they they are poor though, you can't compare the quality of their lifestyle with yours, they live in the country that most tourists work all year just to spend two weeks holiday there.
