Why is Tourism Minister removing Las Terrenas beach bars??
with that being the case... at this moment the bars and beaches are full. Everybody is drinking his beer. Its sat 30 minutes past 4 in the afternoon
For sure there are some discussions. Like always there are. In whatever country. Which discussions... who knows. My point is, which is for me the most important.
Every beachbar at Punta Popi is open, working running and everybody can enjoy the same as before.

it is just that most discussions I have been involved with elsewhere do not involve such a high intensity of BS. It is like normal fun BS piled 10X high some of it with detrimental ramifications and sometimes it just feels like you cannot get out from under it. On one hand I am so happy that everything is back to normal, but because of the high level of BS I have stopped enjoying it for myself a long time ago. For those that choose to attend, and are new to town, be on a high level of alert if it includes your personal finances at any level.

it is something that there is a lot of in some places, leaves a really bad after taste, and runny so it spreads all over the place, and sometimes you step in it accidently. It is why cowboys wear high boots. the pointed boots and spurs are to get back at the deliverer if required.
Back to the future......
I hope this is truly resolved.....
we have one favourite little beach place - with no supporting kitchen across the main road - I never knew its name.
Its a nice blue, blue/green color w/ a little porch and unbrellas, very close to the shoreline.
Not as far out of town as Balcones.
Fantastic food and wonderful, friendly service.
I hope it survives.....

Hello all!
Brief introduction--my wife and I are interested in a complete change of lifestyle and are searching commercial properties, namely quaint open air bars on the north coast. Last summer we got married in Punta Cana and spent a week in Santo Domingo as well; however, did not make it to the north coast--a shame. We are looking for a mix of tourist/local/expat, but not at all interested in the major touristy areas. We are teachers so we are not wealthy, nor are we looking to get rich quick. We want to "live the dream" and are ready and willing to work hard to enjoy the island lifestyle.
There is a property currently for sale @320K USD in LT that has two apartments above. Does anyone know anything about this? Does it do well? Does the average bar owner/operator in LT do well enough to support a comfortable lifestyle?
What about if it were a leasehold and not an owner, as this is all new to me, does the leaseholder do ok?
Any help you can offer is much appreciated, thanks and well wishes!

You really need to check the LT area yourselves before making a decision. It is pretty hot and humid, and tourism is mostly Dominican. Of course there are many Europeans living there, and some visitors year round but not like in Punta Cana. There are many beautiful homes and businesses for sale and not that many buyers. Spend at least six months to see if it is for you and best wishes! Michele
Milk, Cheese, etc.
Wow, what a change in interests.
My last information was, that you wanted to go into farming, hairloom farming that is.*
{BTE, I probably know the establishment you are mentioning, vacant at the moment.
Like many others... }

If you are still into that, you can milk our cows, make yoghurt, cheese... all that you have wanted to do...
Do you know how to milk?
OK, let me talk to my cows...
Also, I can give you about 100 tareas (You know what a tarea is, right?) to farm on.
As you are willing to work hard, which is good.

Ladygrady glad things worked out for you! I had a similar experience years ago but with a bad ending. Michele Jimenez D do you have any listings for the many businesses for sale in LT area?
What I found in the local newspaper LT7.com on p.11, there are 6-7 for sale, others for rent (in Spanish and French) and there are over 20 listed in Dominican Republic Real Estate, DR Paradise Las Terrenas porperties and rentals, just one realtor I know.
Many businesses have been going for years - for example two bakeries.
Of course it is relatively cheap to live in LT while ramping up the business. I noticed 1 br apartments etc. for 6,000, 8,000 pesos a month in central LT advertised in LT7. 8,000 is about $200 dollars a month. High expense on utilities is not required as a/c is only very rarely necessary. Food is very reasonably priced compared with the US.
I think there is already one poodle clipping parlour ( caring for other four legged friends too ) and no competition.
Fluctuation also on the South coast of England. Typically a couple reach 55-60 and pensions have not kicked in as they normally do at 65. The start a business with a portion of their savings and and run it till pensions are available then they sell the business, see the World etc. etc.
This makes for turnover of businesses.
Typically in France however pensions kick in at 50-55 and and pensioners well backed by pensions look for a ,hobby-business,. These businesses in France often carry on for years and different members of the extended family share in running the business. Many French abroard have strong links with France or the French islands and they like the French medical services etc. They are inclined to return to their roots and sell a business abroard after relatively few years having enjoyed a fantastic lifestyle in places like LT.
