    Public Beaches?

    This is my first time in the Dominican Republic at this time of year and I'm really disappointed with the volume of seaweed I have to navigate before I reach the sea (Uvero Alto).

    Guzman Ariza

    I guess that the Guzman Ariza law firm are heavily involved in this website (I see their banner advert on every page) but does anybody have experience with them. I contacted them a week ago via their website and, apart from an automatic reply, I've heard nothing back.

    Retirement / Nursing Homes in Punta Cana

    My partner and I are considering moving from Europe to Punta Cana. However we would need to find a retirement home for my mother-in-law. Does anybody have any information or recommendations? My mother-in-law is almost 80 and needs supervision rather than 24 hour care.
