Just curious, why are there so many cabanas when leaving Puerto Plata, on the West side, I think like 6 of them - but none on the East side?

I thought it has something to do with being outside of town, where nobody can see you. Or mabye because its on the way to Santiago or something.
POP has some nice areas on the East side of town, Torre Alta, Star Hills, Playa Dorada, etc...why no cabanas there?
My guess would be proximity to Playa Dorada. Field of Dreams had no end of grief I believe due to pressure from the association of Playa Dorada.
Caba?as are cheap for locals too, and to reach one you can gan with a motorbike and only pay 50 pesos, and if you are more tight take the minibus for 15 lol

I think this is the best explanation so far. However, it is still puzzling why there is not a single one on that side of town.
The Playa Dorado association is a factor in this. When the Field of Dreams Inn was under construction, I was present at a meeting on the building site with Felix Jimenez, who was then the minister of tourism. He was there specifically to see if cabanas were being constructed.
Ummm.... and your point being?
The concept of using a cabana is an accepted part of Dominican society, what's up with the wink wink? Most folks live at home until marriage, do you think they are going to wait until the coast is clear to get a little? How do think a secretary gets a promotion?
What are they so paranoid about? There are cabanas in Cofresi that do not interfere in any way with the local hotels. They should be more concerned about filling their own rooms instead of complaining what might go into the neighbours yard.
