I thought the law said under 18s could only stay in hotels with their parents.

it says varones so they are talking about boys

If your client is foreign then you should contact the relevant embassy. They have lists of reputable lawyers. I cannot imagine why anyone would think it a good idea to hire a Santiago based lawyer for someone being held in Punta Cana. You definitely need someone with local connections.

Can I also say that with the Covid protocols at SDQ, I wouldn't rely on getting out of the airport in an hour. The last time I arrived it was a good 90 minutes before I was out.

Be careful with the Transporte Las Terrenas bus. I am pretty sure they only have one big bus, which leaves at 1.20pm from Plaza Lama, from memory. The rest of their service is by 30-seater pack-them-in-to-the-roof buses which I wouldn't recommend. The 1.20pm bus also usually leaves full...

Does Caribe Tours go to LT now? I thought they only went to Sanchez and then you needed to get a taxi

Do you remember when they raided that villa in Sosua where the guy had military grade weapons and was running a secret cult, quite a few years ago. And the initial reports said he had something like US$ 5 million in cash (I can't remember the exact amount) and subsequently the number magically...

There is an I in Team, it's hidden in the A hole

Of course they can't

I am speculating that the toque de queda gets lifted in the next couple of weeks and there is a requirement that businesses need to close by 11pm.

It is amazing how they are still selling it though. One of my staff was working in Melia in Punta Cana and another was working in Lifestyles, both selling time-share, working in a huge team. In Europe the law says that you have to have 14 days after signing the contract to consider it, and...

I'd dispute that. At 1.50 I hear him saying "casi $150,000 pesos por 3 dias, 7 personas." Admittedly he says it very fast almost under his breath but I can't find a 16 in there.

Whenever you do anything official in DR, the process is normally that you have to go somewhere, stand in line for quite a while, then be told that you need to bring another document or something is missing. In my experience of applying for permissions, getting phone lines connected...
