Contrary to what you might think, the majority of the movie was shot in places other than Miami. It ain't cheap to shoot scenes in large US cities, so much of the film was shot in the Dominican Republic. In that vein, we offer you some fun things to do in the D.R.:
Where To Stay:
Casa Colonial Beach & Spa
Chill Crockett-style and impress your lady at this ritzy resort. This exotic North Coast hotel sets a "colonial chic" vibe and features 13 private spa facilities and two gourmet restaurants. Check out the Presidential--or Presidente--Suite for bonus luxury.
Where To Eat:
Castle Club
Indulge your royal tendencies and head up to this private home-turned-castle, where you will have to tackle a rocky driveway to sample a prixe fixe meal in a very cool setting. You'll get a tour of the art collection of the owner's wife, and can enjoy an after-dinner drink in the Great Room when you're done.
Where To Get Tan:
Playa Cabarete
Strong winds make this beach a good place for windsurfing, and the length (28 miles) makes it great for walks. Ignore the hawkers selling cheap trickets, and head for the mini-beach bars (mostly run by ex-pats) for an afternoon refresher.]]>
