Hi fellow forumites. This is my first post on this forum and wondering if I can get some simple questions answered. I have already searched and read many informative posts here but need a little clarification on a few points.
We will be staying at the Grand Paradise later this month. First question.... I know that the guaguas run from LG to Samana. Where exactly in LG do I get it? Where in Samana does it let you off? I heard something about it dropping you at the market? Is the market close to the marina? Can we walk? Doing the whale watching with Kim in early Feb. Do we return to the market to go back to LG? What time is the last guagua? Whale watch trip at 1:30 and supposed to last about 4 hours. I read somewhere that last guagua leaves at 6? Will we have enough time to catch it? Should we use American or DP for the guagua? What is the cost with each? Question two.... We would like to eat at El Cabito. Other than walking what is the best way to get there? Taxi from the resort? Taxi from LG? Moto from LG? Any idea what it would cost for either? I realize it is only about 3km from the resort according to Google Maps. Third question. I read that there is a 24hr ATM in LG. Is there a limit at this machine? Will a debit card with Visa logo work in it? Is there an ATM at Grand Paradise? And lastly.... How much should we expect to pay (for two people) to take a boat from Playa LG to Playa Rincon and back? Do we just go down to the water and start bartering? Any suggestions who to contact once there? My thanks in advance for any help any one can be with any of my queries. Kelly.
