The Dominican Republic shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, but has been spared the natural, social, and political turmoil suffered next door. In the 1990s, Gulf + Western Industries developed the Casa de Campo resort, making the Dominican Republic an overnight international tropical beach destination. The resort area has expanded into the neighboring fishing village of Bayahibe Bay, including the Hotel Be Live Canoa, an all-inclusive four-star resort at Bayahibe Beach. The grounds are a tropical paradise and the beach is pristine, winning European Blue Flag International certification for high-quality water and environmental management. We spent the afternoon by the sprawling pool taking in one last day in paradise.
