My friend and I are considering a mongering trip to DR, and I'm looking for recommendations. We're looking for a hobby-friendly resort, but not an all-inclusive place like DR nights. In short, I need to justify the charge to my SO. I'm happy just to have a nice hotel on the beach and find providers myself.  

Any tips on safety would also be welcome. Feel free to PM.

Thanks.

The sex resorts are a bit of a scam.
You can easily find an escort on the beaches of DR.
She might even be a quasi tour guide if you know a little spanish
