Many? How can you spend “many” weekends in Sanremo? Is there something going on there that I'm not aware of?
Yes
Urban legend. Stay away from a couple of areas in Santo Domingo, Boca Chica, and wherever you see many Italians and you will be fine. Also don't mess with local girls.
You can do all that and more in Santo Domingo, or in smaller cities if you prefer like Cabarete or Las Terrenas.
Punta Cana is not a real place.
Daily flights from Madrid are convenient, but yes you have to spend many hours on the plane.
No hurricanes in the DR. And anyway if a house is well built and with decent elevation (the real danger is the rising sea level) you will be safe in any Caribbean Island. It's not that at 400kmh (cat 5 hurricane) a concrete house is disintegrated.
Some people are eaten alive, others are ignored by mosquitoes (no-see-ums). Who knows why. They can be managed though with natural remedies. Something you can't do with an annoying neighbor, and things can go really nasty with neighbors (see the Nygard saga in Lyford Cay, Nassau).
