Dale, you should like Cocotal. We certainly did. Unfortunately, the house purchase was a wee bit beyond our budget. That being said, we are equally happy in Ciudad La Palma. As for school, we have 2 daughters aged 11 and 8. They have both attended Bavaro Bilingual School and Bavaro Innovation (very close to you). As the tourism market is a shadow of what it should be, we have had to adjust our budget and now our daughters are doing online school. It seems to be working out fine. Once things pick up, they will likely return to Bavaro Innovation.
