Don Juan Beach Resort All Inclusive
The kind of Dominican all-inclusive that looks better from a distance, Don Juan is best appreciated with a discount – otherwise the bland food and mediocre rooms, not to mention the lack of privacy on the beach, will feel overpriced.

Hotel Magna 365 (Coming Soon Sheraton)
