any folks living there,looking to set up WiFi and generaly establish for long term!
Why San Pedro De Macois?
(which happens to be the first place I visited on the island outside of the Capital many years ago)

I recommend you check with Claro to see if they offer fiber-optic in your neighborhood.

Where ya from?

We lived in Prado del Este. Really liked it. Easy walk to Jumbo. We didn't have an inverter and didn't really need one. I think we had Altice but I don't remember. However, it's been close to 5 years since we moved to Boca Chica so all my info is dated.

I've read on here that they have upgraded the malecon. It was nice but no place for doing beach shit.

For Internet here in San Pedro I recommend Claro Fiber Optic, I have the service and its very stable with the speed, they have coverage in almost whole town, so maybe the area where you are moving must have available Fiber Optic Service.

so, you prefer a 'real community', which includes ladrones, loud people and music and a lot of trash; and by SPM beach you mean Juan Dolio?, because SPM proper really has no beach

Not going to find “total gringo ghetto es” as you put it in the entire province of SPM, let alone the city.

Metro Country Club in Juan Dolio looks like many communities in Florida, but that place has a lot of well-to-do people from SPM city. Initially, the Dominicans that created that were aiming towards foreigners and quickly noticed there was a demand among Dominicans. That place basically offers a setting unlike what would be found in SPM city even in the wealthier parts. For example, houses have no fences in the front yard, fully open like in much of Florida.

It also have a golf course, but most people that live permanently in Metro CC don’t play golf, they just like looking at the manicured golf course from their backyards and houses.

Beach...when San Pedro folks go to their beach they go to Playa Vicini between Guyacanes and JD, or the small beach in Guayacanes. Playa Pescador nice breakfast spot. Guyacanes also belongs to the SP province.
