BTW, tour operators pay not even close to the rate listed by the resort. Even the resorts have some quite interesting offers. I've received an e-mail offer from Bahia Principe resorts offering stays for 55-65 USD per room per night in DR. That's under $350 person/week even with today's weak loonie. Only if those pesky tickets wouldn't be so expensive...
A new one that just opened, Viva Wyndham V Samana. Hotel and grounds are beautiful but I wouldn't recommend it at this point until they iron out service issues (very long waits to get food at restaurant, room upon check-in etc)
