I found their customer service to be atrocious. On flights to and from Colombia, by law, they have to allow you to cancel the ticket for a refund up to 24 hours before departure. There is a box that appears on the Manage Booking page for Colombia flights. When I spoke to Customer Service...

A friend of mine bought a rescue dog. When some of her other friends came round, this dog used to go crazy, standing by their feet and barking, growling. Wouldn't stop. But only for certain people. Turns out the dog had been trained as a drug detector but had been let go for some...

So we should just ignore them should we?

I think it's also important to manage expectations. I usually don't expect service to be very good in DR (compared to a first-world country). If I'm paying US$ 60 per person per night all inclusive, then provided the room is reasonably clean, the A/C works, there is something that I can eat...

No they're Dominican, but they will still be talking about cars. Maybe baseball and cars, and obviously food being Dominican men, and their mothers. But same pattern basically.

Gosh, I tried to post something that was helpful. And some of you just love to bitch bitch bitch. Honestly, nobody cares if you go there or not, I was just trying to tell those who are interested that there are some decent rates out there.

I mentioned three hotels in my post, one in La Romana, one in Bayahibe and one in Cabarete. So when you said the beach isn't nice, I wasn't sure which one you meant. For that price I don't think it's an issue. There are quite a few kids in our party so they will just be in and out of...

From what I hear even Etno is struggling. And that place has some reasonable money behind it, Sylvain Riedhl is a director and his family own Billini Hotel in the Zona Colonial. I must admit every time I go to LT it's busy Saturday and maybe Friday nights and the rest of the time it's dead...

The beach where?

All the rates I've quoted are fully flexible, you can cancel without penalty a few days before the stay. You'll get even cheaper rates if you go non-refundable, but I always book flexible. Booking.com is charging about 10% more. You'll often find that hotel chains offer "members only"...

I've just booked Bahia Principe in La Romana at the end of June, the rate came out at US$ 66 per person per night all inclusive which I think is very good. I've got another booking for Alma de Bayahibe for US$ 80 per night per person in a suite mid-June also all-inclusive. These places...

If the water comes over your engine your car is going to be completely donald-ducked. What idiots

I don't like hors d'oeuvres very much, it's what life on the other side looks like.

Well obviously I didn't, I just deleted the words and wrote those words instead

It is hard to notice what is a holiday and when people are supposed to be working

I lived in a condo where the security was completely out of control (once the guard came up to my apartment to help carry some bags and then tried to jump on top of me, another guard tried to get his dick out, one of the cleaners assaulted one of my kids in the elevator). But clearly there...

I have residency through investment, but I have to renew it every two years, at least I have always had to until now. If you are going to invest in DR, you definitely need to live here for a while. You need a very good and honest Dominican lawyer, one who has connections, and you need to...

Sorry deleted as I was OT and didn't want to get a bad mark

Most Dominicans are petrified of being sacked. They are extremely rude to customers in a number of settings but the second you ask them for their name, or take a photo of their name badge, and say that you're going to be making a formal complaint to their bosses, they usually back right off...

+1 from me, I heard so many stories of tourists going to Boca Chica and being charged eye-watering prices. Two girls got charged RD$ 9,000 for two plates of cerviche I remember.
