Things to do in El Cortecito for guests with 3–7 free days
A 7-day plan around El Cortecito: morning beach at Cortecito fishermen's marina and Capitán Cook seafood row, an excursion day (Saona, buggy, catamaran), a chill day, a nightlife night, a sunset cruise, a private chef dinner and one full day at the resort doing nothing. We schedule it so day 4 isn't the burn-out day.
