Hey mountain.I will move to DR for at least the next few years and I wanted to know where the best area is to live in or around Puerto Plata.
Thx.
Hey mountain.
I'm afraid that it's so very subjective, what "best" means.
For instance, I live in Sosua and wouldn't be caught dead living in either Puerto Plata or Cabarete, yet there are many folks with the exact opposite view.
This type of discussion has gone on many many times on DR1, and, logically, those who live in POP thinks it's the tops, and so on for Sosua and Cabarete residents.
I'm afraid that the only way you can know the answer to your question, is to try all three, or at least, check them out, go meet some well reputed DR1 members who live in each area, then when you decide on which city/town/village, you could refine your search down to which area.
It's not as noisy, dirty and stinky as POP, has several beaches that are not polluted, unlike the POP beaches, because there's a large gringo expat community that I like, and we have better access to many imposted goods in our stores and supermarkets.Hi Rocky,
Yes, I think that is a good idea.I will go there for a visit anyway soon so I could check out everything.I have been to Puerto Plata but mostly the hotel area.So, I will see but thx.
Why you think that Sosua is so nice or why do you like it there so much?

And on, and on, and on.
You will find just as many people who can and will tell you that Sosua is nothing but a sewer full of putas and thieves.
If everyone thought the same as me, nobody would be living in POP and Sosua would be a huge city.
LOL.Yes, I understand.I just wantde to hear why you chose to live there.
So, thx again.
Beaches in POP suck, so Sosua and Cabarete would be much better options.I dont think I will have the patience to do that but I just wanna live near the beach and maybe not in the worst area.We will see.
They brought in a lot of sand, but clearly the water is still so polluted that I wouldn't let my dog go in there.Ok,I will keep that in mind although people told me that they made the beach new in POP.Is that true?
I will move to DR for at least the next few years and I wanted to know where the best area is to live in or around Puerto Plata.
Thx.
