Great options here for accommodation and places to see 🙂 I like how the first place you covered really gets involved in what's beneficial for the local community and environment, and that local people visit there. Also great to see you showed us places in the interior of the Dominican Republic and not just the coastal places, all were amazing by the way 😀 The difference in the landscape is beautiful from turquoise sea water to hiking in the hills. Thank you for sharing this insightful video Lily.
