Go straight to Bayahibe. Several hotels right downtown near the waterfront (Suites21, Hotel Iguana etc), book on Agoda. During the day there are a ton of tour busses dropping off gringos for the day trip boats but they literally go straight from the bus onto the boats. They all return around 5pm...

That reef started to come back to life during COVID. Amazing what a few months of no boat traffic or waste water runoff can accomplish. Wonder if they are installing any sort of waste water treatment for the new plazas?

The beach bars stay, deal was struck between the city and the national government on Tuesday.

By my count this is the fourth tourist “pedestrian” in two months that has been injured or killed on the North Coast. Dominican’s have no civility and no remorse when it comes to operating a motor vehicle. Try to cross a busy street, no one slows down or stops to let you pass. If anything they...

Cool, new mall! What's next, potable water, stable electric grid, or additional cruise ports?

The maximum height corresponds directly to the amount of the "donation" made to the proper political party. There are no regulations that can't be broken with some kickback money.

Evidently the new plaza spaces have already being divided up amongst government officials. None of the local vendors will receive a location unless they are politically connected or pay the kickback fee, which is currently suggested at 10 -20k depending on size and location. As usual, nothing is...

No thanks - they had me at two. I’ll take a hard pass on third and fourth rounds until someone actually figures out what is going on.

There is actually quite a bit they can do to change it. Just put the same effort into enforcing basic traffic laws, license/insurance regulations as they do COVID vaccination checks.

This is FAKE NEWS : You do not need a vaccination to travel to the United States. Unvaccinated travelers can enter with proof of a negative Covid Test taken within 24hrs of departure. SDQ and POP have testing facilities which can complete the test in under 30 minutes, before your flight.

There is a new YouTube video showing the beach and how to get there :)

Thankfully none of the businesses will enforce it, neither will the police. Starting with the All Inclusive resorts all the way down to the local colmado.

I will clear this up for you. The Dominican owners will swear up and down that they legally own the building and the land underneath of it. A little bit of research and even a slightly intelligent attorney will normally expose this myth. Most of the foreigners ”investing“ in bars do so with the...

Well whatever happened to the giant vagina statue?

Airport Travel during COVID doesn’t look like the US airports are doing any type of screening...

Is it possible to purchase a North American style water heater here? 50 gallon with an actual thermostat? The small boiler and on/off light switch ain't cutting it.

I've spent 30 minutes reading through old posts and still haven't found an answer, so I am going to post this question again. If I ship a 43 inch television that was purchased for less than 200.00 (including tax/shipping) will I be taxed and if so, how much? 

Has anyone traveled through SDQ with a service dog? Wondering what the reaction will be with airport employees and security.

Any ideas on the best place to purchase a new or slightly used moto in Cabarete, Sosua, or Puerto Plata area. Looking for something in the 200-250cc range. Tauro, Apache etc...
