I was in Sosua the first week of November and met an interesting couple at the resort. He's from amsterdam, his wife is Dominican.We agreed to stay in touch and send fotos ,etc.We exchanged email addresses.....but every email I send is returned as undeliverable. He must be having the same...

I'll be arriving in Sosua October 30'th and was thinking about bringing an MP3 player as a Birthday present for a friend. Just wondering if I can purchase one there for a reasonable price....or bring one with me from Canada? A decent unit here is around $80-100 dollars. Thanks Dwight

...and shopping with "Rocky". Still collecting my thoughts from the trip June 2'nd -9'th. I'll write it up this weekend.

There was a map on one of the sites ( Hispaniola I think) showing the location of all the resorts along the north coast...at least the Cabarete area which I'm interested in. I've searched and can't find it anywhere. I can't get into Paraiso del Sol,so I'm trying to find out what's close by that...

I thought May/June was the beginning of low season? I've been trying to book the Paraiso del sol/ Camino del sol (same hotel) a couple of kilometers away from Cabarete for May 20'th. or May 27'th. There's nothing available May 20'th.....and limited space for the 27'th. I can't understand why...

Hi everyone I'll be returning to DR sometime in May and want to bring my old laptop computer to give to a college student I met on my previous visit. She doesn't speak much English and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a site where I could download a "free" Spanish version of Windows XP or...

This is probably a silly question for those of you living on the north coast...but I could use your help.On my last visit a "friend" told me she lived in Puerto Plata. The address she gave me is apt.xxx, etc. Frente al Aeropuerto, La Union, Sosua. Is this a Sosua address...or Puerto Plata...

Does anyone know the licensing requirements to become a "realtor" in the D.R.? I'm a licensed agent in Canada......just wondering what I would need to do if I wanted to be involved with this business in the Dominican Republic. I intend to contact a couple of brokers on the north coast in the...

I was in D.R. from Nov.13 - 27'th. During that time the peso exchange rate varied from 25 - 28 pesos to 1 USD. I was quite surprised at POP airport after passing through security and going to the departure area to find that the exchange rate was 35 - 1. Everywhere inside the airport.....from...

..or is it too much of a hassle. As some of you know, my plan was to go to Cuba. I was going to bring my old mountain bike... use it while there and then give it to a friend so she could get around when I returned home. Since I'm not going to Cuba, I'd like to do this when I come to D.R. in...

Yesterday I cancelled my trip to Cuba in a moment of temporary insanity. I feel very "comfortable" there....have a lot of Cuban friends, so I don't spend much time at the hotel. I booked Paraisa del Sol on a whim....and now I have "buyers remorse". I've been reading terrible reviews about the...
