What a beach! We rented a taxi (minivan) from Gran Bahia Principe Cayacoa with eight people total. Our driver, Jose, was very nice. He spoke no English at all but we were able to communicate through the few limited Spanish phrases that I knew. The drive there is part of the adventure. It gives you an up close and personal... more

Crystal clear blue water on a beach large enough to find a secluded spot. My husband and I had an incredible time at Rincon. We took a personal ATV tour organized by Augusto, a tour guide who works in Las Galeras. The tour was incredible, it was an entire day following our guide (who was on a dirt bike), stopping... more

Conde Nast magazine rated Playa Rincon as the second finest beach in the entire world. I don't know about that since I haven't seen most of the world's beaches. It is, however, far and away the nicest beach I've ever been on. The main part stretches for 4 kilometers and there is another part separated by a small peninsula which,... more

Playa Rincon held up to the typical Dominican Republic rumors of beautiful beaches but a lot of hawkers with their depressed economy. We visited from one of our stops off the NCL Dawn. Don't be fooled by the expensive car and van taxis and their all day offers for mucho bucks. Instead take a motorized rickshaw for less than $40... more

We hired a taxi to take us to Playa Rincon ($90 US for the complete day) and it was amazing. The taxi driver was Zoilo and he stayed with us the whole day. It was about an hour's drive from our resort (we stayed at Gran Bahia Principe Cayacoa) and the scenery along the way was spectacular. Zoilo spoke very... more

You can take a dip in the ocean or river. they are both fantastic. The scenery is beautiful and there is hardly anyone on the beach. There are 2 small huts that... more
