Good day to all. Been a long while - about 8 years since we last lived on the North Coast. I expect many changes. I am looking for suggestions on finding a caregiver - live in for my Father in or around Imbert. Someone who also spoke some - even broken English would be better for him. He...

I rarely engage in a serious broad statement. The ATM, the client service and care - less attitude needs serious attention. 1) The ATM took my Amex card - took 45 minutes to get it back. Very lucky. 2) The ATM on 2nd occasion - torn a $1000 rd note in half. Again, had to shut the machine down...

My latest excursion to the capital gave me a sticker shock. I got off of Metro Bus and BAM - there was ASHLEY Furniture.. recently inaugurated(literally by the First Lady). So next day I peroused every floor. I found great things - AT 4 X the price I had paid for some in US. Yes. Not 10, 30...

I think I am a fairly tuned in person but....Can someone tell me from business view what a current housekeeper and gardener would make in Cabarete at a hotel? Do AI's pay more than small places or vice versa? I know there are some business folks. Had to make some changes with unrealistic staff...

CONSTANT CAUTION. Between 11 00 and 11 30 On way back home with my plumber saw an older Dutch? German? woman mugged by a moto man. He knocked over his cycle trying to get her. Pushed her down on the street, stole her purse and ran off. He saw us coming and would have probably went for her...

I just got word that order of bedding/towels is in Miami. Also got word that the forwarder wants $750 and 3 weeks minimum to get them here thru Aduanas. I COULD SCREAM. Wont help. Is it worth or possible to bring them in suitcases? at 50lbs each limit for extra bags? Is this a recipe for...

Need some direction. Looking for security cameras that tie into a cloud system. Not the typical hard wired to a box that someone can steal, destroy, mutilate...Anyone bought or had such a system installed lately? Want to view remotely while in US or store for later. Have had small things come...

Well... ok, I was remiss. I had for years heard on and on and on about Punta Cana, punta, punta punta punta... I must give Kudos - we have had a fine, QUIET and pleasant time in our last two monthly visits down to Cap Cana. We are fans of AquaMarina. I now can understand why Americans( and...

Any one every purchased these Altusa Venezuelan Roof tiles? Orange/red clay tiles. They have the typical barrel curve and a flat portion...Some refer to them as S tiles. If you know exactly where I can get them,,,,much appreciated. I have called Ochoa and Bellon...they cant explain whether...

Dr1 Dudes... who do you recommend for a gringo type haircutter. In the city tmmrw, Monday. Like my local guy, but never quite sure what I am going to end up with. Need a good chop tomorrow. Thanks!

Open for Recommendations. Want to get away on Monday/Tuesday 2/24 for four days. First time to PC. Not interested in AI. Anyone have opinions on developments such as AquaMarina at Cap Cana or others. I see many posts on FlipKey, VRBO, etc... but don't know one from another. Seen most things in...

Anyone had any luck buying a primer like KILZ. Something you put on to cover stains, kill bacteria, prep for paint? I see lots of Lanco advertising. Not sure about the content or quality. Opinions?

Just a positive word for those seeking a very professional, unique, clean and top notch dental experience. Dental Cibao. Others on here mentioned it. I am now 1 month out from the first part of a dental implant. Limited pain, swelling subsided after about 4 days. Was able to travel on plane with...

A day of shopping for the usual at La Sirena, unearthed Belgian Butters Chocolate Florentines. It was a splurge but perhaps as good as anything chocolate I have had in the US over the holiday - or better. Sweet tooth overload. Brian

A typical DR day, or two... Had a cable box from the local version of Verizon(Delancer) that was returned. Didnt need three. Got the extra for pops til he left. Fine. Took it back - the local gal took my last bill - scratched off the box number and wrote ' Suspendida....what I noted later was...

Has anyone had good recent experiences with NC or Santiago stores selling second hand stoves, refrigerators or other furniture? Who has the best new merchandise prices recently. Trying to finding online catalogs that work is clearly a joke... would like to make one shopping trip if possible.

Ok. Uncle. My frustration with my current, large but not so large plantas repair company from Sosua that shall remain nameless is OVER THE TOP. I need someone, professional, efficient, timely and who can fix or sell me a large plantas 30 to 50kv such I will more likely not get skinned. I have...

Yes, batteries. All the regulars...don't get too excited! :) I recently traded out 16 Red T 105 plus for half the amount of black. However, I notice in small print it says The Black by Trojan. I had seen some other limited comments. Are they really the same company? relabeled here? knock...

Just got word of cancer diagnosis in the family. Going to US is not an option. Need advice...where is the best, most affordable facility in the DR? Papa is from the North Coast, so Santiago is closest but... would not rule out SD. No insurance. Solely out of pocket. Is this even possible...

Does such a thing exist as a Carrito from STI to the area near METRO? If not whats a fair price to get into the city currently? I usually either fly to SDQ and take METRO cross country or go into POP. Fare too good to say no to Santiago.
