The road that leads into town ends at a car park crowded
with tour buses that shuttle package-resort patrons to the
larger catamarans docked a few meters further on. If you're
on your own, you can sign on for a trip to Saona at
Scubafun (phone 809/301-6999; US$75), a
local tour operator located right in the village centre.
Budget accommodation in Bayahibe is plentiful but
somewhat dreary. The most pleasant of the dozen local
cabañas are Trip Town , Malecón (phone
809/707-3640; up to US$25) and Nina , Calle Segunda
(phone 809/224-5431; up to US$25, US$25-50 with
breakfast), both on the waterfront. Of the all-inclusives
, Club Dominicus is best (phone
809/686-5658, fax 687-8583; US$130-160), a lavish compound
frequented mostly by Italian tourists that offers good food,
a great beach, numerous watersports, tennis, aerobics and a
dive centre. You can choose between a standard A/C hotel
room and a more primitive but private bungalow.

For lunch go to the small unmarked comedor
across from the police station, which has good fresh fish
dishes daily. At night you can try Kettly Berard on
Calle Segundo, a small Haitian-run establishment with good
Creole cuisine - though you'll be subjected to a bit of
harassment from the family salesman trying to sell you cheap
souvenirs.
