Ever heard of Miches in the Dominican Republic?
If not, you will soon.
Seldom do we get to see a small fishing village before it becomes the next Cabo with celebrities flocking. Most of the locals have lived here for years growing crops and fishing for a living.
If you’re planning a big life event – like a wedding or family reunion – you’ll love the Dreams Playa Esmeralda because its located right next door – as in, blink and you’ll miss the property line – to its adults-only sister resort Secrets Playa Esmeralda (also brand new), giving attendees without kids a quieter place to retreat to when they need it.
Both are set on an amazing beach with soft sand you can walk on for miles.
While a stay at the new Check PricesDreams Playa Esmeralda offers plenty to keep families entertained, we encourage you to also explore the area….you will get a glimpse into the quiet and relaxed traditional Dominican life. There are not many old school beach towns like this left in the Caribbean or Mexico.
Enjoy!
The Why:
- Soft sand and calm waters top the list. Your kiddies won't get swept away by undertow.
- The area has a low key, relaxing hippie vibe that makes you want to go all Robinson Crusoe and lose track of time.
- Ditch your little ones at the supervised Explorers Club, send your teens of to the Core Zone Teens Club and then bolt over to the swim-up bar for some whale watching.
- The price. Dreams is running great promo's for the grand opening.
- The natural beauty. Lots of off-site exploring and local culture to experience. Your seeing the real Miches before it becomes Punta Cana.....
