I'm curious as to what the attraction is for those in SD with LT. It just seem so far to me and there are closer places. I've never been there so there may be something I'm missing.

Embarrassing Las Terrenas After Semana Santa 2021
They are closer places, but LT has km of beautiful beaches and many private luxury villas with pool. It s very convenient from the capital, it s a 2h trip on the highway.
Come on down for a weekend, I will show you around!
Traffic was indeed TERRIBLE. I feel sorry for these people living on Ballenas and Punta Popi, impossible to get around (even my concho couldn t work because it was at a stand still).
A villa next door to me played House music for 72h straight. Annoying to drink my coffee on my terrace with boum boum boum non stop but that s only once a year. Call me crazy but after a year of being confined, I was happy to see young people having fun. I know I would have lost my mind if I were in my 20s and lived through a pandemic.

The Minnesota Department of Health announced late Monday that they have confirmed the first U.S. case of a highly transmissible variant that has been spreading in Brazil in recent weeks. Health experts are concerned that vaccines could be less effective against the so-called Brazil variant...
If the Brazilian strain has spread in Las Terrenas, symptoms should arise within two weeks. Until then, infected people will look and feel fine. All it takes is one infected person to start the spread.

A young man that does some part-time work for me also had this type of work before Christmas. It was a three month stint as well, cleaning the Juan Dolio beach in the early morning hours. As I recall he worked from 6-10 am in a group of 4 or 5 others. He was promised payment after 3 months. That came and went without getting paid,in spite of the Chrismas holidays, but eventually got paid.
I don't know what the pay rate was. I walked by some of these workers several times and I must say...they weren't doing very much other than each of them checking their phones.
