Having a large list of things to do isn't necessarily on the agenda for every traveler. While some travelers will be happier at a hotel with many different activities available, other hotel guests are perfectly content with a small selection of active recreational options, because all they really care about is having a comfortable, relaxing place to stay. Although this hotel doesn't have a very extensive array of recreational resort amenities the Sofitel Frances Santo Domingo may still have exactly what you're looking for.
Water and Fitness
Granted this hotel doesn't offer a swimming as one of its amenities options, this hasn't kept it from being popular. Not having a beach in its front or back yard, a lot of vacationers set aside some time to explore a few of the Dominican Republic's picturesque beaches.
Tennis
