Its ok if close to the city but the hotels are average, if you have the money and the time its always better to go to punta cana, but in the other hand if u need to stay close to the city juan dolio is a great option More

Great beach, tranquil blue water. Very interesting way to spend a few hours. Great restaurants that allow you to spend the day on the beach on their chairs. Restaurants also provide restrooms and some even provide showers. More

We decided to take a day trip to Juan Dolio beach as we had heard the beach was beautiful. We paid the approximately $50 pesos to park and go down to the beach.

Good beach area close to Santo Domingo. About 45 minutes drive and the beaches and water are clean and quieter than the beach area at Boca Chica. More
