Canada is not banning travel. They are just making it incredibly difficult. When we booked in July the only requirement to return to Canada was a PCR test within 72 hours of travel. When the new variant emerged the socialists then made it mandatory to have a PCR test at the Canadian airport of...

Apologies, the proper name is El Cayuco.

We have known a Dominican waiter and bartender for the past decade. We have always really liked him and has never asked us for anything in the past, The last time we saw him he was at The Cayuca Restaurant in the Fishermens Wharf strip in the tourist heart of LT. This was in 2020. I know this...

Yep, our flight to Samana was canceled today and thus our annual 3 week retreat to Samana and LT is off for the second year in a row. We spend a lot of money in the local LT economy in those 3 weeks annually. I feel SO bad for the average hotel or restaurant worker that is being adversely...

How the hell is today any different from yesterday with this announcement? We still face the same PCR test restriction/requirement to come home, or face a $5,000 fine if you refuse to do so. Yet another hollow meaningless announcement from a hollow meaningless government. Yes, I am frustrated.....

I am in somewhat urgent need of the help of the DR1 community. Much , if not all the situation I find myself in is my own fault. I was negligent in my research prior to booking to return to LT. Having said the above, my wife and I are now booked to return to LT after a 20 month absence. Since...

We are booked to fly Toronto (YUL) to Samana (AZS) in FEB via West Jet. 2021 was the first time in 20 years we had not spent a few weeks in the DR. I am a little concerned about the CDN government regulations on COVID testing within 72 hours of departing and arriving back n Canada. I am sure...

Sorry to hear this. Did he still own the two condos at El Neptuno at the time of his passing?

I have had some good breakfasts across the street from the boat at Zuber as well. More food than one person could or should eat for 150 RD. My wife and I share a breakfast there and there is still food left. Have any of the well known LT establishments closed their doors for good due to the...

For me personally , the issue is not when the DR will open. We know that will happen out of necessity in the not too distant future. The real issue is, will the seasonal tourist with no family or business ties return to the DR in the next 12 months. For me personally, my wife have been taking...

There are many North Coast food threads. Well primarily Sosua. It is very rare to see anything about the LT food scene. I happen to think it is quite good and diverse. There is everything from local to French, Italian, Czesk and North American. I am interested in hearing others thoughts on...

So, I use a CPAP machine to sleep as I have sleep apnia. This machine requires distilled water. Does anyone know if I can purchase this at either Lindo or Super Polo in LT? Thank You

Can anyone tell me the name of the stretch of beach in front of the Alisea? Is it Playa Las Baleenas? I should know this as we have now been to the Alisea 8 times. However, any time I ask the hotel staff they either do not know the name or give me various other inconsistent answers. Thanks...

Hola, My wife and I will be arriving to LT late Friday evening (hopefully). Could someone that lives or winters in LT tell me when Super Pola closes on a Friday ? We would like to be able to grab some supplies before heading to our destination. Thanks

I am inquiring as to the current state of the beach at The Alisei Hotel. I believe it is called Playa Las Ballenas but don't quote me. The reason I ask is that last year while there, heavy winds and surf took away 50% of the beach (maybe more). Has it come back at all ? Has it got worse ? We...

I will be returning to LT this Friday. We will again be staying at the Alisei. Can anyone tell me if the little calmaldo that is beside Plaza Delfin and just up the street from Coco Plaza is still open? It is very convenient for a cold beer and other goodies.

Hello, My wife and I will be staying at The Alisie in LT for a few weeks. At the same time my brother and sister in law will be staying at the Grand Bahia Princpe Cayacoa in Samana City (or close to Samana City). My question is , how do we get there by guaga ? I see a lot of guaga action at...

Last year, while in LT we saw a pirate ship "booze cruiser" touring the shoreline. It seemed to only sail on Saturday. I am wondering if anyone has taken this tour? And if so , how was the value for $$$ ? I am assuming it is all inclusive once on board. Please correct me if I am wrong. What is...

I am returning to The Alisei for the fourth consecutive year in Feb. There is actually a direct flight from Ottawa this year to AZS . YEAH!!!! Anyhow, 2 questions : 1)Does anyone know if the German restaurant Navia is still open? The last Trip Adviser review appears to be from last March...

Can anyone tell me approximately how long it should take to drive from Las Terrenas to Las Galeras? Also how many KM's or miles is it ?
