Thanks to everyone who responded. We ended up going with a recommendation from a local business. The guy showed up on time, had tools but certainly was not skilled to the level we would recommend him to others. He was also a little more pricey than we were expecting as well.

Cute place. Has a little bar and breakfast set up and the rooms we saw were small and seem to cater to a young crowd. Set away from the main road and beach. They do various healthy and zen nature type events. All in all it appears to be a nice place for a short visit in a natural setting away...

We are in need of a professional plumber for some work at a condo in Cabarete. We previously called someone and he had very few tools, carried no supplies and apparently was more of a general handyman. We concluded he wasn’t up to the task. Thanks.

We always want to support the local vendors. However has anyone noticed the increase in the number of vendors patrolling the beach in Cabarete? Some tourists have told us they now avoid the beach because of the volume of vendors constantly hounding them. Don’t want to see any of the workers lose...

Just a heads up if you shop at Jumbo in Puerto Plata. We bought a small kitchen item at Jumbo, got it home and it didn’t work. Since we are in Cabarete, we figured we would wait until our next visit to Puerto Plata and exchange the item. We went back about 2 weeks later with the item and the...

In the US or Canada yes. Here every appliance repair place refers to repairing refrigerators, stoves, washer, dryers and air conditioners. Dishwashers aren’t in their vocabulary.

It could possibly be the seal but it doesn’t remove like the video and I would prefer someone with expertise to do it so if anyone has a plumber who has worked on dishwashers let me know. Thank you.

Small water leak at the base of the unit while it is on the wash or rinse cycle Dishes don’t seem to be getting cleaned on the upper rack

We own a dishwasher which is not operating properly. We have a plumber and handyman but neither is familiar with dishwashers. We are looking for a plumber with experience in dishwasher issues to check ours out. We are located in Cabarete. Thank you

Looking to hook up a VPN. I'm from the US staying in Cabarete for 3 months. Any recommendations as it appears there aren't many server locations?

Word of caution. I strongly recommend against using this rental car company in the DR. Whether you make the reservation online through them or a third party such as Priceline, when you get to their desk at the airport, the rate is different than the rate quoted through their website or a third...

We would like to purchase a stackable washer/electric dryer unit for our condo which is in Cabarete. We are thinking that the best options would be a purchase in Puerto Plata or Santiago. We would like to buy it, have it delivered and installed which would require a new 220 line. Does anyone...

When an Association if formed and officially takes over the running of the Condominium complex from the builder, is the builder obligated to provide the Association with an accounting of the funds paid leading up to the transfer? Does the Association start off with zero dollars or does the...

Can someone who owns a condo in the Cabarete/Sosua area indicate what your monthly Association Fees are? Are all units charged the same amount? Also, is there a Management Company handling the complex and if they are good and you would recommend them, what firm it is?

For anyone who has purchased a condo in the D.R. is purchasing a Title Insurance policy worthwhile? Also, what should be a ballpark cost per thousand dollars of coverage? I've heard mixed reviews on the value of a D.R. title policy whereas in the USA it is an absolute necessity. Also, when is...

In the USA, the Condo Association buys insurance on the building and grounds and the individual apt. owner buys insurance covering the interior walls and ceilings, their personal contents and liability (ie. renter hurt when stove explodes). Does anyone buy the individual apt. policy or is it...

Has anyone purchased condo insurance on an oceanfront condo in the Cabarete/Sosua area and if so who was the agent and insurance carrier?

Based upon the recommendations from DR1 readers, we decided to try Paradise Transportation ....Paradisetrans.com 809 582 5112. Rocio and JJ are the best. They confirmed the reservation, JJ was waiting at the airport with sign in hand. He gave us a lot of helpful information. He drove safely and...

Just back from a trip there and was very impressed with the place. The rooms are fabulous, the service excellent, and the location is within walking distance to the many restaurants and shops in Cabarete. The price for the room we had was easily 20% of what a comprable room would go for in the...

Last time in Cabarete my wife and daughter used the spa at the Wyndham Tangerine for a massage and manicure. This time we are staying at El Magnifico which doesn't have a Spa. Can anyone recommend a legit spa in Cabarete. Absent that indicate what spas they should avoid. Thanks.
