Playa Aserradero beach

Playa Aserradero is a hotel's beach in the east of Las Galeras, Dominican Republic. This is a canonical tropical paradise with palms. Non hotel guests can also relax here, - just don't take their sunbeds. Sometimes algae can be met ashore. But this doesn't happen very often, and hotel's staff make regular cleanups. To be honest, they remove algae only in the west end of the beach. Since the east end of the coastline is a wild area. Luckily, there is never algae in the east. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Amhsa Marina Grand Paradise Beach Resort is a great 3-star property, but it is not presented in international booking systems. Within a walking distance, there is also a large choice of guesthouses and villas with rooms' fares ranging from US$20 to US$200 per night.

How to get there [edit]

Main airports in Dominican republic: Punta Cana international airport (PUJ), Santo Domingo international airport (SDQ) and Puerto Plata international airport (POP).

It is convenient to use a taxi, which is relatively inexpensive. For example, a trip from south to north of the country can cost $100.

To move between the small towns you may use minibuses (shuttle buses). Locals call them gua-gua. One ride costs a few dollars. Bus stations are called parada.

There is also good bus transport system in the country. We recommend Caribe Tours and Metro companies. Buses are brand new, and travel from one end of the country to another will cost about $10.

Though all prices given above are in U.S. dollars, it is better to have local money (peso) when traveling around the country.

When to go [edit]

Feel free to relax in Dominicana any time of year. The sea is warmest in summer, but the heat is the most intense as well. And there is also a hurricane season from June to October. On the other side, the winter weather is more comfortable, but seawater at the northern coast is too cold that time.
