    Finally Heading Back to DR - Please Give Intell on Latest - Cabarete

    Again - Thanks for info from all. I grabbed a place for two nights - I doubt the cost of elec will be much for two days - And yes I can see how some people will leave power on. I highly doubt the charge will be more than $1 mil pesos for two days. Can't wait!

    Finally Heading Back to DR - Please Give Intell on Latest - Cabarete

    Thanks everyone for responding - I doubt it would be much but if rather have it defined. Such as meter reading and knowing up front what potential costs would be. But for a short term rental - 2 days - why would one have it separate. Charge me 20 extra per day. Seems petty

    Hey was looking to rent an Airbnb on the North Coast - but sounds like after your stay they charge separately for electricity. What's up with that? And if you know - what would a typical charge be per day?

    Fisherman's Village update - Las Terrenas

    I guess they don't have it anymore. I'm pretty sure when I looked 3 or 4 weeks ago they had it listed. I love LT - but don't like going thru SDQ & renting a car to get up there. Man I miss the old daze when I flew out of JFK on Jet Blue to AZS. Carry On
