Welcome to Dr1.
Well you heard all the positives, now I shall be negative (since negative is the opposite to positive).
The DR people are some of the friendliest people in the world.
Some of my best friends are Dominicans.
The only real criminals that tried to con me were Americans and Canadians here in RD.
I find my RD friends to be honest and forthright.
I have lived in Deseronto in the past and back in August 12 1992 my military airpland took off without me (I was late and already in the CACA) It crashed in a farmers field in Napanee.
So I know your home area.
It was good advice for you to rent before buying......
May I suggest Luperon which is one hour from Puerto Plata Airport. Several great expats here from USA, Europe and Canada.
Quite safe here as well.
Would be more than willing to show you around. Have been here for almost 9 years ; off and on.
Married to a Dominicana and enjoy the lifestyle.
I presently live out of Yarmouth N.S. Canada and travel back and forth to RD. I still operate businesses in RD and Canada.
All the previous comments and advise is well worth taking into consideration.
