and yet they couldnt get this right (from FB)

Is this the final version or it will also burn down before it’s fifth anniversary?

They should give up the idea of building it of wood and do the whole thing in cinderblocks and cement.

there were different crews installing pavers when the work was being done. Have to admit, it looks crappy.

When I was there at end of January - it was a hot mess. Google Maps showed the road closed - but alas - U ain't stopping people from traveling along the malecon. Should have had proper traffic controls and installing the road pavers from one point - do half the steet - then the other. No Bueno. And I would almost hit people walking on the road - west of the site. Get off the road - Gringo - walk on the playa.

I was there about two weeks ago. It looks pretty much finished. Instead of one long building, they separated them into sections. They also have several fire hydrants in between the buildings. They widened the road so the traffic flows better there. Looked good but I just drove by quickly.

Is that section of the road between Puerto Plaza and Don Cesar Residencial open now ? I saw some time ago on FB that it was closed and I want to be sure before booking accommodation down the road in C.Italia/Hispaniola. Thank you in advance

I am not sure where you mean. We came in from the El Limón side, and drove all the way past Playa Colibri. I hope that helps.

Thank you, you would have had to drive down the beach road which means it is fine now. Much appreciated !

$10K pesos/mo sounds very reasonable.

It is always a good idea to make sure we are talking dollars or pesos. Neither makes sense to me here.

we're talking US dollars not funny money

Sounds like that space will stay vacant then. There is quite a lot of vacant commercial space in Las Terrenas.

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.

 

[aarhus]

Cavoks suggestion of 10,000 pesos sounded closer to reality.

Of course it does not. But as John said 10,000 pesos..............

Las Terrenas is probably not that different to the Sosua or Bávaro market. I don't know what type of tenants they are expecting. Maybe it is the annual lease then.
