Some facts. Elvis has been saying for some time that he needed to move his operation. And he was obviously completely prepared to make the move to Playa Laguna smoothly. His operation has been tolerated by authorities and the community for ages (with the exception of the individual who owns investment property next door and is currently the Regional Director for MITUR). You could even see Politur sitting around the tables at times. But times have changed and he was told he better get ready to move.
Some speculation. Elvis would not have chosen his new location without assurance from authorities that it was sufficiently far away from Cabarete and Sosua centers and that he would not be hassled. So where might the new zone of tolerance be that authorities have been talking about the past several years?
I don't know what the location in Playa Laguna is.
However the main area of Playa Laguna has upscale villas and condos.
By the ocean across from the condos, there is also a connecting path to Sosua Ocean Village.
Owners in the area include lawyers and other well to do people.
They will not take kindly to this type of operation close to them.
