Some of the best beaches in DR. Playa Coson is a must see and walk
Oh easily. Gorgeous beaches. Thanks for the suggestion- I’ll check it out next time 👍🏼
Going back to DR tomorrow and i plan on going to Las Terrenas. Love the Mosquito beach area , specially at night 🎉🎉🎉
Yeah it’s an amazing area! Enjoy LT!!
We love everywhere in the DR. We live in the DR and the US. Enjoy!
We love it too! Absolutely love it. Thank you! 👍🏼
Voy a escribir mi comentario en español porque veo que hablas muy bien español 😂, saludos hermano me gustó mucho el vídeo 🇩🇴❤️🌺🦜
Ayyy muchas gracias, estoy feliz de que te guste 🙌🏼 Tu país es hermoso. Saludos 🙏🏼
I love this video, very natural and also informative, looking forward to seeing more 🙌🏽
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback. Just trying to keep it natural because otherwise I can get too detail oriented and then it’s not any fun 😎 so thanks, more are to come from a new country 👌🏼
Nice! I’ve been to Puerta plata and Punta Cana a few times but Las terrenas is next for me. Subscribed 👍
You can’t miss it. Those others are nice but LT is in my opinion the best. Be prepared there isn’t much infrastructure- but everything else makes up for it in my opinion! Thank you! Hope you enjoy
Hi I’m Cuban, wife Dominicana, we live in Europe, our plan is to visit Samana for our 10 wedding anniversary next year, I’ve been visiting the DR since 1999, travelled all over except Las Terrenas/ Samana, been place such as San Jose De Acoa and Monte Cristi, both heavy into fitness, I’ve competed in natural bodybuilding show in the past, would love to have seen more of the gym and what’s the fee ? We are hoping to use its facilities when we get there.
Hey!! Welcome Enrique!! That’s awesome. I intended to post more gym but we got all screwed up with recording. This gym was about $25 USD for 2 weeks I do believe. I’ll do better on those details next time 👍🏼
@@jonathanellsno it’s both at 3:30 mosquito and playa Bonita at 3:40 that cut when you name it is ballenas with mountains at the end of the bay and houses on top… you edited both beaches together!
Beautiful place samana
Hi, where did you rent your 4 wheeler?
It definitely is, the whole area
Vivo, en Santiago y mis jefes vienen desde NY les digo que lo quiero llevar para las terrenas I really enjoy your video, enjoy my Motherland.
Gracias, amo tu país. Agradezco el apoyo 🙏🏼 Espero que disfrutes LT
"quiero presentarte", "quiero introducirte" is like "I want to put (something) in you"
Muchas gracias, eso va a ayudarme por el futuro
Your girlfriend is a very pretty Dominican girl. She seems to have a great personality as well.
Thank you! She is actually Colombian.
@@jonathanells Ohhh yeah, I forgot that there are thousands of Colombian chicas living in Dominican Republic, and venezuelan too. Thanks
The 4th one is playa coson, next to playa Bonita
Thank you! I couldn’t remember the name on the spot haha
Where all have you been besides Las Terrenas and Punta Cana? I wouldn't base the cost of the country as a whole on those two places. We've been many other places that are much much cheaper than those two, which are very touristic...
Keep up the great videos!
As a digital nomad, I seek touristic. I need a good gym, grocery store options, and more reliable wifi. But I’ve been to Santo Domingo, Santiago, Boca Chica, Puerto Plata, Sosua, Cabarete, Samana, Las Terrenas and of course Punta Cana. LT is my favourite. And we’ll be going back to DR for the 6th time this coming winter. For now, we have 3 other countries to hit 👍🏼 Cheers
@@jonathanells Excellent! I get the digital nomad vibe and looking for that. We'll likely retire in the DR, and we'll be off the beaten path for sure, looking for the quieter life we've discovered before while there.
Well, the DR is an absolutely gorgeous place to retire off the beaten path! Just watch out for those Cacatas. Lol I appreciate your question and support on here. 🙏🏼🇩🇴
I love the DR so my comment has nothing to do with being judgemental…. It is more about being wise and safe. I have listened to many expats channels in DR and they explain that if there is an accident the foreigner will be at fault even if they were not and that people will collude regarding fault and injury. Also I would get insurance when renting a quad etc.
Yes, I’ve heard the horror stories. No judgement here. I tend to be skeptical how often these things really happen, but of course they do, I think a lot of times the foreigners don’t speak Spanish. Whereas my girlfriend and I can. We live 24/7 in Spanish and are very careful with who we associate with and do business with. Obviously, there is always a risk of that in foreign countries. I know in Colombia they really are opportunistic with foreigners. I find a lot of foreigners are too naive, especially those being harmed in Medellin.
Great video. ¿is your girlfriend dominican?
Thank you! No, she is Colombian!
What is the name of the place to rent a quad to the man named Antonio ?
Haha funny you asked, there isn’t actually a name. But it’s the art gallery right before the bar at the start of Playa Punta Poppy! 👍🏼
Where are you renting?
We were just a couple houses back from the main street in Las Terrenas. Close to Punta Poppy. Was an airbnb
Great beach but the roads are not designed for cars. And that will be rhe problem for jts future development. And its all hills mountain area
Yes, you are right, infrastructure is the weak point of LT. But it’s still way better than in Santa Marta Colombia. It’s almost depressing there after a while. LT is vibrant
@@jonathanells i haven't been to Columbia yet. I definitely liked the vibe of LT. Lots of potential. But getting their from Santo Domingo was a challenge on transportation. Bus then I needed a random van to get out there from the station and some reason cell service appears to be deliberately blocked out at every private bus station I have been too. Cannot search or order a car. Only because I was with a Dominican he knew to get the van. Otherwise I would have been screwed.
YUP! Same thing happened with me. Felt like a huge tourist trap, except the food. Although shitty, it was SO cheap. That trip you pretty much need to budget $150 for a private taxi. Every bus that came they’d tell my girlfriend and I that it was full, but let the Dominicans on it. Other than that 1 day, everything else I’ve experienced in the DR has been positive
She's not your girlfriend... it's just your turn. Lived in Sosua for 4 years. I know how it works.
You couldn’t be more wrong. Firstly, she’s Colombian and we met in Colombia. Secondly, we’ve been together for more than a year. Third, I’m not a sex tourist. They are an embarrassment. I don’t associate with them.
Is your girlfriend local? Where is she from?
She is Colombian!
That is playa Ballenas, not Bonita…
We went to Playa Ballenas, but not in this video. The one in the video is actually Playa Bonita. Unless the hotel, the staff at the bar, and Google Maps are lying 😂
Nice video
Thank you!
