Looks great - just what Las Terrenas needs, in my opinion. The only problem I see is that it's close to the sea for when the storms and beach erosion arrive.

Las Terrenas, Samaná.- The Minister of Tourism, David Collado, announced that the renovated Pueblo de los Pescadores in Las Terrenas, Samaná, will be inaugurated between February 15 and 20. In a social media post, Collado emphasized that the project will mark a significant transformation for the area.
The tourist zone was devastated by a fire in September 2021 that destroyed 16 businesses. The renovation includes a state-of-the-art fire-fighting system to ensure the safety of merchants, visitors, and the community. Collado and his team inspected the site to ensure the project meets the expectations of Las Terrenas’ tourism sector.
Collado described the renovation as a commitment to the future of tourism and the well-being of the local community, reiterating his excitement for the February unveiling of the new Fishermen’s Village.

it's getting there!

the road in front of the Pescadores was closed for about 2 weeks while the installed the pavers but now we can drive thru.

End of February is a more realistic date considering all the other work that still needs to be completed.

It's unfortunate the authorities are allowing this new road to be used by the huge dump trucks that go in/out of Las Ballenas. Road will slowly deteriorate if they do.

They should be allowed to use only that dirt road at the "Cancha de Golf" instead.

I just realized this was photo-shopped. The pool across the street is actually a condo building with parking.

You can also tell by the 2 fake chaises in the photo.

Why would they do this?

I think the perspective makes it look like photoshopped but there is a rooftop pool and the angle of the shot makes it difficult to see that it is not flat. Not sure about the two chaises though. This is the building opposite to Residencial Don Cesar. That said, it does look like they made it look too 'clean'

Thank you for the photos, looks much nicer than last year. The existence of a sidewalk would make my life (as a pedestrian) safer ! It was risky walking from C. Italia to get coffee/breakfast in the morning at Puerto Plaza etc last summer as the beach side was full of construction materials and the opposite side did not have sidewalks always.

Looking forward to visiting soon.

BOTH sides of the street going to/from Calle Italia to Puerto Palza now have pavers to walk on!

after 3 long years, the Fisherman's Village rebuild was completed yesterday!

https://puntacana-bavaro.com/gobierno/gobierno-entrega-la-reconstruida-plaza-del-pueblo-de-los-pescadores-en-las-terrenas/

The President was here to unveil along with the Ministry of Tourism. Huge traffic jam since cars traffic was stopped at the location on both sides

It's a different design, 9 separate little buildings so if one burns down, the rest of the project doesn't go up in flames hopefully. I read the project has a sprinkler system. Every other building has a fire hose in a clear cabinet. (don't ask me how this works but I saw them use it the other day)

Wondering what they will charge for rent?

If that doesn't do it, you can't accuse them of not trying.
