loved every minute in rio san juan. my family and i felt safe and relaxed because the people are so friendly. If you go to Rio San Juan you must go to cheo's restaurant. Best food in Dominican Republic. Cheo and the waitress Diana are two of the friendliest people and made our meals the highlight of our rio san juan stay. Two thumbs up for Cheo's.
Well, there was only one room left and it was in "the basement" we didn't care, it was just next to the laundry room, but for $15 USD a night can you complain? We didn't especially when we woke up to the spray and sound of the ocean.... sitting right on the cliff of the beach, what a great and quaint little place. A small walk ...

Our stay at Rio San Juan especially at Bahia Blanca - with the best ocean view - was the best part after backpacking in the country for 9 days- even after being in Bayahibe and Bavaro-with great beaches! I only can say like the others that this little "sleepy seaside town" according to Lonely Planet is very enjoyable because of its ...

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/11/05

There I discovered "Playa Caleton", is still my favorite beach in the world, which is saying something considering I've travelled thorughout over a dozen different countries. Getting to know the people in the town, one beings to realize just how much they protect and defend ...
