Apparently I am a bit of a long talker...
We were also on House Hunters International after we bought here so you can google it to see an alternate view of the complex as well as the area. Just search google for House Hunters International/ Canadian Couple Buys in Punta Cana. Good luck!

We stayed at hotels for years and I know that they put the fear into you to NEVER leave the resorts but it is such a nice area and we have learnt so much and met so many great people. We will do the resorts but only on a day pass (which if you rent, you could also do..we just did the day pass at Hard Rock Punta Cana Hotel and it was fun). If you do decide to rent through Todd - they will also pick you up from the airport etc. Let me know what you decide and if you need further info - email me at [email protected].. Regardless, let me know and happy hunting!

Hey Vicky,
HA - that's my neighborhood! If you are looking to rent...I would recommend going through Todd Williams with Reliable Realty. Tell him I sent you (they are friends of ours & take care of our place when we aren't here). I am in Palm Suites and they have a rental that sleeps 6 ( 2 rooms with a queen in each as well + loft room with a pull out). It's a 2 level unit and beautiful. Here is the link for the unit: http://www.puntacanarealestatemariaw...g_7231672.html
They are from Michigan and are great people. I think that this area is fantastic. We are within walking distance from all the restaurants you mentioned (Pulpo Cojo is literally a 1 1/2 blocks from us and is our beach access too). Too funny. On the link you will see the unit I was talking about is in the yellow building the upper 2 right hand floors/ balconys. Our unit is in the same bldg but on the left hand side - 2nd floor. Cheryl

Hey Cheryl,
I thought I would message you since this has nothing to do with HCG...lol
Long story short, my friends and I are thinking of doing a girls only vacation. One of the women suggested DR. We are thinking we could rent a place since there are 6 of us. I looked at homeaway and may have found a place (looks nice according to pictures). My question is do u happen to know the area in Punta Cana where the El Pulpo Cojo or Bamboo restaurant is located? Or El Dorado Shopping center? If yes, is it a nice area? Would u recommend renting a place or staying at a hotel?
Thanks,
