    I visited Sosua in the north coast in the Dominican Republic and I loved this exciting place and other thing. It's not a bad drive, and rental cars are not too expensive, and you'll find dozens of beaches on the way where you can stop and grab some salt water on silky sand and of course you could enjoy the hotel Sosua Bay Beach Resort. it's between Cabarete and Costambar . I'll be back next year. http://www.sosuabayresort.com

    I like bicycles a lot, too. I was on vacation in Sosua Bay Resort and I had a great time, sometimes I took rides on bikes around the town of Sosua. Everything was great.
