Playa Chiquita beach

Playa Chiquita is a beach on the east coast of Ocoa Bay (Bahia de Ocoa) in Dominican Republic. Maybe in Europe, it would be considered as good enough, but it's quite mediocre by the standards of Dominicana. OcoaBay beach club is the only reason to visit this place. Otherwise, feel free to skip this spot. Shore and seabed: sand, pebbles. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Ocoa Paradise apartment is a three-room apartment with total area about 50 sq. meters. The cost is almost US$200 per night, which is quite expensive for what they offer. There is no pool. But even if it was, it would be still expensive.

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.
