SOSUA/CABARETE vs. LAS TERRENAS by Jgolak
Just back from 9 weeks in condo (Stanza Mare) in Bavaro/PC. My wife and I really liked living on the beach and being able to walk to a number of restaurants and small stores. Was also easy to get to Jumbo or other supermarkets as needed. People were ...
Hm interesting that you heard Sosua was a younger crowd. I always feel like it's an older crowd. Older men, younger working women. But still a lot of couples, too, but all the ones I know are older. Cabarete is mixed. There are parties and ... Read More
Cabarete expat coffee or cocktails gathering location? by Austinreed
Hi gang, I'm preparing (packing) for a year long walkabout. At the moment I'm planning to spend much of the year looking for a compatible town in the DR for my retirement. I expect to be in Cabarete until march and then to Las Terrenas ...
What up! I live in Cabarete. Born in Maryland (never really lived there, though). Been here 6 years. Cabarete is basically one big small coffee and cocktails gathering place. You don't need much help to find anything or anyone. But here are a ... Read More

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well and have enough sunshine over there. I am a new member here as I plan to move to Sosua/Cabarete area and I would appreciate your feedback regarding my request. I live in Vancouver, Canada and work remotely from ...
I've been living here 6 years, 3 years with 3 year long term rentals. I didn't use a lawyer. I feel like most agents with a decent website and communication have a reputation to uphold. This is a pretty small town. Especially when they use ... Read More

Direct flights by Kat11
Does anyone know of a direct flight for decent price from Florida to Puerto Plata? It can be from Ft Lauderdale, Miami or Orlando. I can't seem to find anything that's not really expensive (all over $600 per person) its only a little over 2 ...
Also check flight scanner. You can fly into Santiago and take a taxi for about $100 and 1.5 hour drive to the POP area. PM me and I can help you with a nice taxi driver from Canada if you want. Read More

In Cabarete, check out Kite Beach Hotel which is pet friendly. It's not actually a hotel, it is condos that rent for long term and short term. Most condos will tell you that unless you are an owner it is not pet friendly, but you can find houses ... Read More

Hello! My wife and I are looking into the cost of rental management companies in Cabarete. I would like to get an idea of the services offered and the monthly cost we would expect? Anyone have more info? Somethings we are looking for: - Cleaning ...
I have been here 6 years and in my experience, it is not that easy to find a company that is honest and dependable. So be very aware. Just because someone works for a brand name you recognize, doesn't mean everything functions the way you are ... Read More

Hi everyone. I'm very happy to have found this community. I am a New Yorker with Dominican Parents. Even though I've lived most of my life in NYC, I've traveled often to Santo Domingo. I currently live in the Miami area but my boyfriend ...
Like Planner said, there is definitely a give and take...although I would have to say the internet is getting better and honestly, there are very few times that I don't have internet these days. I haven't had to run around to the internet ... Read More

I also work in e-commerce (and I have a watersports school in conjunction with the restaurant). I would advise against a home until you have been here even longer! There are many title issues, first of all, and in Cabarete you need to scout an area ... Read More

Hola!! I have been living in Cabarete 5.5 years and it's awesome here! Like the others mentioned, I would rent for at least a year before you buy anything. I waited 3 years, in fact. It's not going to be like you are used to, but you will ... Read More
Making phone calls in Dominican Republic by Maximilien
Hi, When settling in Dominican Republic, one of the priorities is to be able to make phone calls. How to proceed to get a landline installed in Dominican Republic? What are the mobile operators? What is your average monthly ...
Also, if you set up a Gmail in the States with an American IP, you can make free calls from your Google Voice back to the US. That is how I do all of my calls. BUT you must have an American IP when you set up the account. Read More
What is so special about Cabarete & Sosua that most expat settle there by drtuttle
I have this curiosity since I went there once, while on vacation and It didn't impress me. I must admit that the place is gorgeous in terms of Wilderness. I have spent some time in the mountains with some friends when I returned to the Island ...
I live in Cabarete and Sosua is completely different than here, even though we are neighbors. Cabarete is amazing for watersports and if you are not into that, you will probably find it boring or relaxing, depending on your personality. We have ... Read More

Cabarete: > accommodation prices: $200/month up to $3-4000 (US). I have gotten away with paying about $400/month, living on the beach, for 3 years based on networking and renting out my extra rooms on Air BNB. > public transportation fares ... Read More
