The region changed from a remote coast with coconut plantations into a major destination after the airport opened in 1984. This shift brought international visitors and transformed the landscape into a chain of resorts.
Restaurants serve Dominican dishes such as mangú, sancocho and grilled fish while musicians play merengue and bachata. These rhythms accompany dinner and shape the atmosphere along the coast.
Most resorts offer year-round packages with lodging, meals and direct beach access. These packages cover activities and leisure options within the hotel grounds.
