    Sosúa Beach Renovations

    We did, but as with all things DR there is a story to go along with that. Employee we liquidated ( legally ) came back to haunt not us, but the new owner. I have a lot to say on this subject but can’t ,,,

    Light Fingers in Playero

    We had the same situation. Week before leaving the country I tried to use our Playero points ( they had been building for two years also). Cashier said no points and I almost lost my mind. Chalked it up as another sign that it was time to leave the country and smiled on my way out of the store...

    Sosúa Beach Renovations

    FYI, Playa Sosua will be closed today. The Beach Association has decided that all of the members should forfeit a day of revenue ( during high season ) to have yet another march. 3pm Dominican time - traffic should be fun later. Video will be posted on W&R tomorrow

    Sosúa Beach Renovations

    I’ve been trying to keep everyone up to date via my weekly news update on YouTube- whiskey&rum. It’s extremely difficult as there is zero official information flowing. The beach association feels that the government has lied to them and broken whatever agreement they thought they had. It appears...

    Cangrejos Bridge Has New Damage

    If that bridge drops, which it will. The traffic heading from the airport into Puerto Plata will be insane. It speaks volumes about how much leverage the all inclusive resorts in POP have with this government - zero. Put the same situation in Punta Cana and there would be construction crews...

    Excavation on Hill in Sosúa

    No idea, just some development company. You know how everything goes here, top secret, zero disclosure, no press releases… thus all the rumors. I still can’t believe they literally knocked down half of that mountain….

    Playa Laguna

    The wall appears to be running along the Grand Laguna property line. Access to the beach runs parallel but about 20 yards back. There is a sidewalk, stairs and then a path to the beach. If they wanted to close the beach all they would have to do is close access to the stairs. This country is...

    Excavation on Hill in Sosúa

    No, two separate projects. One of the primary investors died of a heart attack a few weeks ago thus work stopped. Give it a few weeks and construction will start again. Most of the excavation has been completed and a different crew will be on-site to build retaining walls and initial concrete work.
