Great to hear! We’ll stop by!

We traveled quite a bit around the country before deciding on the NC. We love the ocean views, the restaurants and the large amount of expats that have settled here. We’ve made many friends here both among the expats and the locals. Santo Domingo and Santiago are huge, dirty cities. Las...

Has anyone used this? It requires a “certified” drivers license from your home country. I looked at my state and don’t see anyway to get one.

I have been unable to sign in from the USA for months. I thought perhaps there were geographic IP restrictions, but perhaps it’s more.

With no real government in Haiti I think Abinadar is doing the right thing. No leaders means no way to negotiate the ground rules for the canals construction and operations. Unfortunately it’s going to have deleterious effects for both countries. While the immediate effects will probably hurt...

Two years ago my wife fell and broke her shoulder in Cabarete. We took her to CMC where they evaluated her, did a cat scan and X-rays. We had the ability to go back to the US, but decided on having surgery done at CMC. Surgery included a titanium plate and several screws. The results were...

This is an old thread, but hoping someone may have current info. We are cruising from La Romana in January of 24 and will be driving from Cabarete. Anyone aware of a safe place to park our car and get over to the port? Thanks

TUVA is closing due to the start of construction on the beach next to Seawinds. I believe the intend to reopen as a part of the new project. Surf and Roll and La Cabana are permanently closed

I hope he is okay. Kind of ironic though.

Just curious. Have not seen him on Cabarete Beach in months.

I appreciate it! I’ve seen the place but have never been in. I’ll remedy that soon, lol!

We are US citizens with legal DR residency. Living on the North Coast we find the selection of wines pretty slim. I ship a lot of wine to my US house and am wondering how difficult or expensive it is to have it forwarded here by EPS. I’m guessing it’s neither cheap nor easy, but this should...

IKEA has them

I got one from Banco Popular in 2020. Rates are higher than in the US. It’s hard to get fixed rates for long terms (over 5 years) and without prepayment penalties. I also contacted ScotiaBank and was able to beat them up against each other to get a lower rate. The process takes a long time...
