 World Class Golf
is just 10 minutes away! The new Robert Trent Jones oceanfront
golf course at Playa
Grande is nothing short of spectacular, with 10 of the
18 championship holes playing atop 100 foot sea cliffs. Ubiquitous
trade winds combined
with strategic sandtrap placement ensure that you will be challenged.

savings.
Scuba Diving opportunities are excellent
in nearby Rio San Juan, where the PADI certified dive center of
Gri Gri Divers
operates group and private dives, day or night.
Deep Sea Fishing is fantastic here, as the
waters teem with all manner of gamefish, incluing marlin, kingfish
and mahi mahi. There are several charter operations nearby that
offer good twin-engined boats and experienced crews.
Water Sports of all kinds can be enjoyed in
the nearby beach town of Cabarete. Famous for its excellent windsurfing,
Cabarete attracts surfers, sailors, boogie boarders, and beach bums
from all over the world. Extreme water sports like kite surfing
are becoming quite popular as well. Lessons and state of the art
rental equipment are readily available.
Outdoor Adventures can be arranged for those
who seek something out of the ordinary. White water rafting, alpine
hiking, para-gliding and four-wheel touring are some of the wilder
escapades to be had in this amazingly diverse Caribbean country.
From the 10, 000 foot peak of Pico Duarte to the most secluded,
serene beaches of Samana, you are assured of finding the adventure
(or two) of a lifetime.
Nightlife There are a dozen or so great restaurants
within half an hour of Villa Lazy Heart, providing delicious seafood,
Italian and French cuisine.
The many discos and bars in the area are always packed
on weekend nights, with friendly locals dancing to merengue, salsa,
and the occasional American techno anthem. Just watching the crowd
of exuberant dancers swing, sway and spin expertly to sexy Latin
beats is as fun as taking a turn on the dance floor yourself.

Or, venture out to the casinos. The odds are slightly
less than in US or European casinos, and they don't have craps tables,
but a fun evening can be had watching other tourists, full of umbrella-drinks,
trying to play 21 or roulette in Spanish!
Take a little more time and take
a 1 hour trip down the road to the town of Cabarete!

anything you could want for activities! Truly fantastic Restaurants
