Santo Domingo has one of the greatest concentrations of top notch restaurants covering the cuisine the world over in the entire Caribbean. Makes one wonder what restaurants did Mountainannie visited.

They are trying to sell a house only because they took a picture, put it on line, and trying a "flip".
You and I see LT a lot differently.
I found it boring, dusty mediocre food and the beaches were nothing special.
Been there once and saw no reason to ever go back,and haven't.
To each his own, but to compare the food choices to Santo Domingo shows you're looking to score drama shock points, because there isn't even a question SD has way more choices and better food. Like comparing the Little League world series to the MLB World Series.
Please be real M.A.
It may just be a matter of how much $$$ I was willing to spend on a dinner out.
It may well be that SD has a greater variety but I never found -it. Never really delighted in going out in SD. There were are few that I found worth the money - Mason de Bari, Hermanos Villar and Charlies Oysteria,,,, There were a couple others that I went to more than once... but for the most part... Nah- would not consider SD a "foodie" destination.
Unless the posters have spent a long time in LT, and found most of the little restaurants? I'd say my 16 years there were a pretty good sampling.
But, as I think I said, I did not (do not) go out for steak... And I am a good cook. So perhaps my requirements for restaurant cooking, service, and prices are different than others.
I stand by my selection of LT as better dining than SD.
Indeed we do. I found the beaches to be the best in the country! And as you only went once? And ate mediocre food? You obviously never had the "insiders" knowledge of which places had the best chefs..,
So I don't think that you have enough information to judge my posting as wanting to score "drama shock points"
You simply do not know Las Terrenas very well - that is all.
There was one Indian restaurant that I never went to.. and wanted to.. but it always seemed too $$$.... But I was really surprised that SD really had so few restaurants that I would consider "top notch" .. but - as I said -- I was not in a position to pay much more than about $35 US per person... (minus alcohol, & ITIBIS) so that might have eliminated some that others consider to be great.Santo Domingo has one of the greatest concentrations of top notch restaurants covering the cuisine the world over in the entire Caribbean. Makes one wonder what restaurants did Mountainannie visited.
I would suggest that SD enthusiasts start a thread over in that forum to identify their favorites.

I went there once (for 8 days) and that was the longest 8 days of my life, except for the week I spent in Cyprus.
In 8 days I did not have one remarkable meal and I ate in different places.
Granted this was many years ago, (2012) So maybe things have improved, but the beaches are the same, none I saw stood out.
Exactly as my wife and I see Las Terrenas (and Samana was even lower than that).
Unsure what beaches have to do with the OP's post?
Can we discuss purchasing a beach house with Bitcoin?
LT has some nice Restaurants for sure , imo. Some of the best meals I have had in the DR have been in LT. I would definitely consider a House there for retirement , but up in the Hills , not Beach because those 2 million Price tags are way more than I would ever care to spend .. " Middle class" lmao , yeagh ok LT would definitely have My #1 vote if we did a Survey. .
Santo Domingo ? you could not PAY me to Live there .

Only the beach destinations in the DR have any appeal to international investors - and thus a market for "flipping"
Tell that to the people that have their estates in Jarabacoa that sell for several million.
that's right!
In the DR, it's like the Wild West.
Heck, our plumber was even trying to sell a home we had by marketing to some of his customers.
One should always hire a reputable firm like Guzman when buying or selling.

IF it's trustworthy. How they think it'll work is still unclear but if they can make it like MLS in the Us then they'll be on to something. I just can't see trusting it but time will tell.
