RECOMMENDED INDULGENCES
Most beachside hotels offer massages on the beach. I paid $30 to get a 20-minute back massage under a palm tree at Saona Island. There is nothing comparable to that experience, listening to the waves as you have oils massaged on your stressed muscles. I repeated the experience at one of the resorts we stayed at. It was $45 for a half hour, but the setting was also more comfortable and the masseuse more experienced. If you want to splurge on yourself, save your money for that! It’s one of the best memories I have of the trip!
