A lot of businesses closed in Sosua
It's called urban renewal. Sosua has been a problem child for DR officials for many years. I think they are looking for a lower profile for legal prostitution in Sosua. With prostitution comes a host of other problems and Sosua has had many. If you want a solid tourist business you need to attract families not just single men.
I live in Caberete. I like the Rest. here and in Sosua. I can walk to everything. Sousa is great sometimes, but I decided I didn't want to live there full time. I have a car so I'm not stuck in one place. Both places are good, depending what you are looking for. To each his own.
People will continue to come to the NC as long as the activities and accommodations people want are on offer at a price they can afford. When that changes, the decisions people make will also change. Cause and effect.
A question. Is there a eal sports bar in sousa? 5-6 TV sports pcg's. When I am in Sousa getting something to eat or in Playero, I get asked, wheer to go to see..... Used to be Eddy's. So now I tell them they have to go to Caberete and see Frank12. As has been said before. Pop is the most expensive airport in the Cab. Lower the tax get more people. There does seem to be more planes, but they seem to be gonig to Lifestyle or Dom. here to see family.
I can disagree with most of those points, but especially the ridiculous one that condo rentals are US$1500 - 2000 and up. I can show you hundreds of very nice places much cheaper than that in Cabarete.
When I stay in Cabarete I like to stay beach front.
Depending on the group 1 or 2 Bdrm.
Ocean Dream, Ocean One or similar properties.
Close to everything quiet at night. When I stay in Cabarete second row is not good enough.
I also like walking distance to everything.
In Sosua I like Hispaniola Beach, Infinity Blu, Los Balcones but the comfort and walking distance has a price.
Brazilians at Cabarete Spas
Don't forget the nice Spa for waxing, saves a trip to Brazil!
I usually have a quick beer on the beach while waiting. Quick because the waxing does not take too long.
Then back for another beer and a snack with my Brazilian.

Seems that your new bifocals went temporarily out of focus.
Fortunately you went in for a second look.
Come to think of it those bifocals may enhance extracurricular activities also! ( You may have to come to Sosua for those)
May we never be out of excitement! :bunny::bunny::bunny:

This is confusing, who is getting the Bikini Wax, you , your Novia or both ?
Dear Confused
MAYBE BOTH???
Remember I'm having a quick beer on the beach while waiting........
Not that there is anything wrong with it!
Just promoting wholesome discreet Cabarete activities.

Well, as you very well know Cdn, there are those of us that come back due to many reasons, por ejemplo, I have made friends in Sosua, (Snowbirds, Expats, and business owners) from my many visits, and that being said, I am familiar with things which gives a sense of ease. And before you comment on that sense of ease, because I already know you are biting your tongue... I do have a few "friends" that would actually help me if drama occurred.
Back to the tourista part:
I still stand behind the fact that Sosua is not a bad place to land as a tourist, it truly depends on what you find desirable. If I wanted to just lay low as a man vacationing with my significant other, and just want some nice dinners and lay on the beach, maybe role the dice/play some slots for a lark, Sosua has it...
On the other side of the coin, as the new world order is now dictating, "nightlife" is at a somewhat "dull roar". I on the other hand, have a novia, so to me, I need not the "nightlife" so just partaking in beverages at the checkpoint, going for walks, the odd beach day, and some nice dinners works for me.
Different strokes, different folks....
As far as Sosua being dead, usually the month of August (for the 11 years I have lived here) were extremely slow. I cannot speak for Pedro Clisante, nor for the other projects and hotels around Sosua, but Infiniti Blu has been full of wealthy Dominicans and their families. It is great to see them all on the beach and in the pool enjoying their time together.
I don't know most of them, but I do know one large group that was here renting several condos at IB and several places elsewhere. Although we have a beautiful beach here, they spent yesterday afternoon at Sosua Beach also.
Next door, Gaansvorte was also busy, as noted by the cars parked and blocking entrance to the IB gate I used. The people I saw coming and going from there were Dominican.
IB has a new restaurant owner. They told me that they intended just to do food delivery within Infiniti Blu. However, Hispa?ola met with them and begged to include their residents, who want delivery of higher quality food - not fast food, pizza, or fried food.
I think there is a growing demand for higher quality restaurants. I think the model of Sosua IS slowly changing. My own life will not be affected. I have no use for the Pedro Clisante activity, but I do not condemn it, either. I am just making a summary of my observations.
