If it is true it confirms my suspicion that some out of touch politicians in Santo Domingo is behind the project. Nobody seemed to ask the local Dominicans or the local expat business people.There's no way anyone could make money in a little restaurant like that paying $10K/mo USD.
A Dominican I talked to suggested the 10,000 was to pay for the "Punto" or something. Or one years lease. 10,000 dollars is of course impossible as a monthly lease and that even the smallest building.are there any restaurants now operating in the Fisherman's Village? someone told me the rent was $10,000 a month for the smallest building
Hold on a second - you're telling me a fish shack in Las Terrenas rents for 600,000 pesos a month?
Sorry, I don't believe it.
Because it has all been planned and executed behind a desk in Santo Domingo.It's hard to believe there are no restaurants that have opened in the new, fantastic Fisherman's Village in Las Terrenas.
Why could this be?
The rent is probably ridiculous.It's hard to believe there are no restaurants that have opened in the new, fantastic Fisherman's Village in Las Terrenas.

there isn't even a "Para Alquilar 829-xxx-xxxx" sign posted
I suppose someone who is interested has to write their contact info on the sand, haha
It makes me wonder if the same lack of businesses will also happen on Sosua Beach once those plazas are done.
They were also planned from behind a desk in Santo Trafficjam. Time will tell.
I saw some posts in FB in the Amigos de Las Terrenas group but I went to FB after a long time and didnt have context, thank you for that.Hopefully the new Fisherman's Village will survive the massive social unrest that LT is currently mired in due to the illegal eviction of the Paulino family.
They are a poor family of fishermen primarily. There looked to be at least 20 people housed on the family compound.
They had been on their property on Las Ballenas beach over 50 years until late last week.
That is when authorities moved in with heavy equipment and leveled their housing compound. They then lit it on fire.
The residents of LT are furious at this action and have been fighting back by revolting all over town. Multiple fires are burning at multiple locations currently.
Are they or will it be like once done to a poor Dominican that won some sport competition abroad?I saw some posts in FB in the Amigos de Las Terrenas group but I went to FB after a long time and didnt have context, thank you for that.
I saw that the Army was called in and the government had promised to build them a new home so are the strikes/tire burnings still going on ?
You say the eviction was illegal, but the family legally living there?Hopefully the new Fisherman's Village will survive the massive social unrest that LT is currently mired in due to the illegal eviction of the Paulino family.

I think whoever came up with the rent projections lives in Santo Domingo where there is no shortage of wealth and fine dining. They probably forecasted the ridiculous $10,000 USD a month rent. Not one restaurant owner in Las Terrenas can carry that rent load - esp in the slower months of tourism. This is still t-shirt and flip-flop destination.
