It is entirely feasible that Cabanas have more than one use.
I suspect that now that the government is focussing in on prostitution, that just one or two examples of Cabana use for prostitutes out of the thousands of privacy/concubine uses will be enough for that Cabana to be shut down and forfeited due to promoting prostitution (in case anyone says that prostitution is not illegal in and of itself, while promotion of prostitution is illegal).
The girls are going to have to get their own places and be entirely on their own as private contractors.

Cabanas have multiple uses.
Many in the DR live in small, multi-generational houses where privacy is limited.
I know couples with kids and parents living with them who use cabanas to cap off a "date night."
I have nephews who live in smaller apartments who use those large, 2-level cabanas for parties, bringing a sound system, drink and food with bunch of their friends converging for a few hours of partying.
We use cabanas when we travel to Santo Domingo. The convenience of just pulling in and not having to go through the front desk hassle is so nice! We have a "Cabana Bag" ready at all times with better sheets, a blanket, pillows, coffee maker, and even our own shower head (they are usually missing in a cabana). RD$1200 for 9 hours overnight with a simple breakfast just can't be beat. We bring an extra fold-out table, water and chargers and we're all set for the night. We probably stay in a cabana 35 nights a year, and have even discussed future longer-term rentals with the owner.
Certainly cabanas are used for affairs and prostitution, no doubt. But to say that is their only use is just flat incorrect.
We spoke with the owner---it one of the nice cabanas on the Malecon around Luperon---and he claims almost half of his clients are salesman, short-stay overnighters like us or family/couples, and stays especially busy when one of the local societies, like the Spanish or Lebanese, have a big event.
No. It's Bayamesa, right next to the Luperon.
We once left a Kindle there by mistake, discovered it several hours after leaving. Alida called, and they had it, and kept it for two weeks when we returned. Good folks.
I didnt realize the cabanas can be used for parties...its a good deal considering the space. Do the cabanas come set up as a lounge? The only places i have used for this are asian karaoke businesses.
Getting a big room for a dozen or so friends, with music n drinks . Great for a nice after hours party till 10 in the morning.

Don't forget that several posters are owners of condos in Cabarete and Sosua.
They envision that a "clean up" to their liking in the area, will translate into better rental revenues and possible appreciation on real estate values.
Some would like the North Coast to conform to their correct version of the perfect tropical get away.
Sometimes I wonder why they settled in the DR in the first place?

What is ideal for one isn't ideal for another. So those who decide that they want to make laws to force others to do things their way are the ones who are really out of line in my opinion. I, say, buy a hotel in a city famous for its prostitution and then decide that these mongers don't want to pay the prices i would like to get, so I push for legislation to make them illegal. Makes no sense to me. But in reality that is what the Libertarians actually are.

You could not be more wrong about Libertarians. We don't care about what other people do so long as it does not hurt us. What is going on now is best called urban renewal in Sosua.
There are NO libertarians in the government who are in charge of this.
Why did I come to Cabarete and retire? Because I like it here.

From personal experience, the Colonel is involved up to his eyeballs. Everyone gets their cut.The PN in Sosua is a disgrace and corrupt to the core. Not everyone, but most of them have both hands out.
No I don't suppose there are any Libertarians in the Sosua government at all. I was just pointing out actual actions of people. Can I make money selling motorcycle helmets if everyone has to wear one? OK Then will push for helmet laws while I rise up on my hind legs and proclaim myself a Libertarian! That is the actuality of that group. I am probably more of an actual libertarian than anyone else I have ever met.
