It's another west facing cove, but 5 times as big as Esmeralda, west of Club Med, you can find it by searching Carlyle Cove Miches in google maps, but warning, the road there is in bad shape, need a SUV or...

    Playa Palenque is Disappearing

    As I understand it beaches appearing/disappearing is a normal process, one that usually takes decades if not centuries to complete. All beaches named ensenadas were small alcoves that turned into beaches. There's one next to Playa Grande in Rio San Juan, I think it's called playa bonita, but...

    It would be great if you let us know on this forum if you do get that tax exemption how the process works and if you need an RNC number. Good luck with everything.

    Land Prices

    In my analysis this would be a good option for both the international tourist and the Dominican wanting to experience something new and different. I follow about a dozen Dominican travel bloggers on instagram and the reception they get when they visit eco-friendly spots is a good indicator of...

    A glamping(glamorous camping) site, where the main attraction would be being surrounded by nature, for those seeking to disconnect and have their own private space.
