I'm from DR, please do not pay attention to selfish people just keep promoting every corner of our beautiful country trust me every dominican appreciated thank you ca'nt wait for your next video
I just spent 5 days in las terrenas last week in early January . Weather was beautiful every day. I had no complaints. Las terrenas is more European and hasn’t been developed just kept up.
Headed back to Las Terrenas near the end of Feb. Can't wait. Try to ignore the comments guys!! I love your videos and it is strange how people think sometimes. And your right, people will find out about places by researching the internet but your videos would only be a small part of that. I also want to visit Cabarete as well. Keep the videos coming and maybe I will run into sometime while visiting the DR.
Hi guys. Keep the good work! Las Terrenas, el Limon, Las Galeras and, pretty much, all of Samana's peninsula is a paradise. Please, dont let the opinion of some few affect the great work you do showing the natural beauty of the area and to show people everywhere that this beauty is here for everyone to enjoy (and protect in terms of not leaving garbage). Please, continue to visit las Terrenas and thank you for your great videos!
Thank you for promoting the Dominican Republic, you guys are true ambassador for sharing your wonderful experience around the country. please continue doing your great work showing the beauty of the Dominican Republic. Thank you once again.
This last winter was an "EL Nino" Winter in the Caribbean area from last November to February. It was like this in South Florida all last winter as well.
Interesting video and gives lots to think about. I live outside of Toronto and COVID brought people out of the city in droves and our property and rent costs went up huge. We began to see city prices in the country and it changed out little towns a bit. Wonder if this is similar to the sentiment in the comment you read. I also follow the real estate happenings in LT and it seems to be booming. Lots of new builds which will increase the population and change the small town feel. Hmmm. Change is happening everywhere. I have dreamed about visiting LT but want to feel welcomed when I visit. 😮
Perfectly said Terri 🤗 Change is happening everywhere for sure. You would absolutely luv LT and we so hope you can visit. It's beyond beautiful 🏝 - Anna
Hey guys! You should come to La Vega this month, we got our carnival fest going on, celebrated every Sunday! It’s our biggest event of the year and an experience you should live
Keep doing your thing! Your videos on the Dominican Republic are our go-to info source since day one. We've got your back, and don't mind the backhanded comment by that individual. How clueless! From our Dominican-Asian family in Toronto, Canada, we believe everyone has the right to visit or own property in Las Terrenas. Big shoutout to you, Anna and Trevor! 🌟
I was in Las Terrenas a few months ago, I stayed in a small resort hotel on the beach and I really enjoyed my stay, the food, the quality, the comfort and the price of the entire experience was excellent. ❣️
A cloudy day on the beach is better than a Winter day in The Rocky Mtns. There are people who can't physically travel & you bring us such beautiful destinations. Keep up the good work! ❤
Keep up the great work you guys - and hopefully the positive comments here will help mitigate the bitter words of some that you met on the street or comments here online. We enjoy your content so much - as you have mentioned - your videos help us to get more details about certain destinations and it helps us to make an informed decision. Thanks! 💕
I just don’t understand why some people act that way. They move to another country and try to take it over. They act like no one else; not even the locals should be there. Thanks for speaking out guys. Don’t be disheartened keep on making those beautiful informative videos 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I agree! When we moved to the USA from Canada we didn’t try and make it be Canadian. We integrated, we adapted and we pivoted so we could embrace our new home country. I’ve heard that Europeans in Las T don’t mingle with the locals, which I think is totally sad. This is partly why we liked Cabarete more. We want to mingle with the locals, understand their country, not change it but fit into the culture and national treasure that is the Dominican Republic. This is why I hate the saying that “America is the greatest country on earth”. No, it’s ONE of many great countries in this world.
You definitely changed my perspective on my country 2 years ago and now I will retire in December and find a 2nd home in Cabarete. I will always be thankful to you. Take care and hopefully I’m lucky to meet you guys some day.
Wow ice coffee ☕️ almost 5 dollars 💸, same as New York City. Interesting!!! I am Dominican but will start doing blogs as well in Spanish starting around march 🙏
We’re here at the moment (for two months), and experienced the rainy week as well… I think that’s why it felt empty on the streets… everyone was hanging out at home, waiting out the weather! It’s beautiful now though, so hope you’re able to enjoy it! ~ Krista, from Ontario.
Gabriel Traveller had the same issue of trying to be warned off by a 'threatening' local on a Thai Island that he was on for the same reasons you guys have encountered. Of course his response was pretty much the same as yours in that he alone could not be held responsible for future travellers to their shores. 99% of Islanders of course welcome the extra income that travellers bring in! I also want to point out that I watch your RUclips videos because you are both generally nice people whom I feel I can associate with and not particularly because of where you are travelling, although I do pay special attention to when you are in Greece! I've been following for quite a while now and always check in as to how things are. Keep up the great work! Spencer.
Your Las Terrenas videos are my favorites!! I’m from the DR that live in TN, US who can’t travel as much. Specially now in the winter when we get the winter blues. Your videos bring us so much joy. Last time I went to las Terronas was in 2011. And your videos make me feel like I’m there. You can’t listen to those kinds of comments. You two are a great couple who are so much fun. Love listening to you guys! Don’t stop!
Great video guys, I agree Cabarete is a better place to live or extended stay as a digital nomad, however Las Terenes is a must see must experience location with its amazing European influence. The DR needs tourism and it is definitely down throughout the country this year. Keep promoting it. Love your work ❤
The cost of travelling has doubled in the past 2 years and this has had a big impact on the travel industry. The airfare costs are up quite a bit with all of the extra baggage costs. We travel to DR often and have noticed that a 6 week stay is up by $1200 for accommodation and flights. Fewer people are travelling.
On rainy days they play dominoes Siri domino it’s like playing chess and they have a ball they sing they dance with a group of people and it make a joyful on a rainy day on the balcony. Usually the big balconies open Plaza.
Hey guys thank you very much for all you doing for the country. promoting it to the whole world don't let those negative comment bother you. they don't even know everything you guys do is one of the reasons why we just hit 10 million tourist.
Thanks for all the videos! Is it possible to get away from the traffic noise in Las Terrenas? It looks gorgeous there but I think the noise from the traffic would bug me unless there were beaches where you could get away from it.
I just watched the video. I’m Dominican living in Boston. You doing a great job! Las Terrenas is my favorite place on earth. I traveled to Las Terrenas 4 times in 2023 and still enjoy watching videos about it, specially yours.
Hey Guys, I personally LOVE Las Terrenas and yes it is a paradise that I do not want to be spoiled by the ALL-INCLUSIVE crowd. However, you guys are great and completely within your rights to produce and share your videos. I really enjoy them and appreciate your perspective on the whole Dominican thing!
The Dominican Republic just received 10 million tourists last year. It's the the first time the country gets that many tourists in a single year. I guess most are going to Punta Cana and that's why you don't see that many in Las Terresnas and Cabarete.
Hey guys. That weather you’re experiencing… It’s called December-January in the Caribbean. I go back home to DR from late February on.. when I go I go tour the country. I try to make sure the time of the year is ideal for that.
@@DelightfulTravellers That’s unfortunate, I don’t know when you guys recorded that. But I had some friends in the area the next or same day this was posted, and it was BEAUTIFUL! So u may have just missed it. Anyway, thank you for your love of my country and for showing it to the world. There’s still A LOT you haven’t seen that will blow your mind.
Many vacationers coming to LT are from Santiago and Santo Domingo. They watch the weather forecasts before deciding to head to LT. Also, the US-DR flight situation will hopefully improve. Norm
Thanks for sharing your experiences in the Dominican Republic. That please Las Terrenas looked so good. We will be visiting the place in April for our next vacation. Me and my wife are Filipino-Canadian. We've seen most of your videos on your trips around the world. We love the honest comments and places reviews. We're learning so much. Thank you.
Where did Kikis get English muffins? I have lived in Las Terrenas now for almost a year and I haven't found English muffins anywhere except on Komida and they are really expensive. As for the infrastructure issues - you are absolutely correct. The power goes out frequently - if you work online, you need a back-up generator. And the water infrastructure is a constant problem.
Hi guys, beautiful Las Terrenas, as you mentioned, most tourist in that area are from Europe, French, Germans and Dutch and usually they would go skiing in January and February then to the warmer places from March on. Maybe that’s why there are not many tourists in Las Terrenas at this time. Wishing you a sunnier time overt there😃🙏🏼💕🍀🇩🇴
Hola, I'm coming in May. I would like to know if I can use US currency or should have DP. Also, just ignore the comments you both are doing a great job. Las Terrenas has been known for a while. I believe more Americans are not coming because of the travel from the airport. I believe you have to have tourist to bring money to the town. Also, if I was in the RD on a rainy day, I would still be out enjoying some good food, a beer, and reading a great book. I will be bring a lot of books to read.
I watch your videos almost every day and you both make me very happy thank you. I’m actually going to be in Santo Domingo in April of this year. Keep it up. Enjoy every moment of your videos and thank you.
It is truth, Samana is not well developed in many infrastructures. They still need to have better government support in areas like health, etc. You are right the development are ahead of how to supply the population's needs.
Please tell us how to do that when you have to book accommodations in advance because of high season. You can't plan for the weather months out - Trevor
Hello guys, so bad you didn’t have good weather in las terrenas this time around. My family and I spent 3 weeks in las terrenas last summer and it was the complete opposite for us, the forecast almost every day was rain all day but the rain never came, it was absolutely beautiful everyday, the beaches where so beautiful and calm.
I've been wanting to go to Dominican Republic and visit the areas you mentioned, it really looks inviting. My go to breakfast dish for years my family requested were my mama mc muffins. I used pan fried Canadian bacon, cheese, eggs on a toasted/buttered English muffin. It was quite a hit and was easy to eat on the long drive to school for the children. For weekends it's what I made occasionally and also served a fruit smoothie. I've been known to make them for campouts too.
Great videos guys, thank you for showing these amazing places in the DR. You guys have to go to Altos de Chavón, casa de Campo, La Romana .That place is beautiful!!!
Great video and true, there is a sense of ownership in LT. Because it has very drastically developed and for the expats and locals that have been there before the road was put in , in 2013 to link it to the also relatively new el Catey airport, 2011, things became allot busier and change can be hard, but change is always possible. We hope to see both of you some day and you were staying right beside where we have our beautiful home. Look forward to more videos and always keep it real, plan to visit cabarete this year when we come down, so maybe will get a chance to say hi over a presidente.
Hi friends, greetings from Toronto! Thank you for sharing so much helpful, informative content! 2 quick questions: during your stays in Las Terrenas, was it nice and quiet at night (and/or the afternoons at siesta time)? Or are neighbor parties and music becoming more the standard, both on the beaches and in accommodations areas? Thank you!!
As you know we just spent our first big post Covid vacation in the DR & we LOVED it. We stayed five days in Las Terrenas and five days in Cabarete. We liked each area for different reasons. Some of the most spectacular beaches, like Playa Grande, are close to Las Terrenas. We found Las T very traffic heavy and as you’ve stated in past videos it’s because of the one street in, one street out. That being said, we stayed at an AirBnB next to Ristorante La Dolce Vita and that end of Las T is quieter. There are wonderful restaurants that we could walk to that were less an 1/4 of a mile. There are so many more restaurants we’d like to try. As for Cabarete, that was more my vibe. It seems less chaotic, traffic is not as crazy as in Las T. We love that Cabarete is so close to Sosua & Puerto Plata and the airport in Puerto Plata. We did drive to Puerto Plata one day and checked out the tourist area which was very nice. A cruise ship was in and it didn’t even feel like it. We have already planned to return in early May, we have a couple of properties we are interested in looking into for VRBO/AirBnB. Like you said in this video many people are looking for options outside the US and Canada as both places have become super expensive.
I was wondering after your videos what do you do all day in Dominican Republic? How do you occupy yourselves other than your videos and you guys complement each other perfectly? It’s a pleasure keep them coming.
Thanks! The videos take up a lot of our time in general. Then throw in our web design company and that fills the day. We always find time for the beach though. We're often there! - Trevor
you said rainy day tips and i heard rainy day kiss at first and then i accidentally typed paint so MY RAINY DAY TIPS ARE KISS AND PAINT SOMETHING ON A CANVAS MAYBE TWO PEOPLE KISSING IN THE RAIN
OMG - what you said about the attitude of the expats here is bang on! If you make any kind of suggestion to improve things they tell you to go back to your own country then. It's crazy!
Hi guys I feel so bad about how you felt from that selfish person's comment. I mean I don't know what his nationality is but I am Dominican and I love my country and the way you guys present it in your videos. I feel grateful to have you showing the world some of the beautiful places here in DR. Thank you and keep up the good and honest work you're doing. Believe me, true Dominicans would love you for it.
Are you kidding me? I love and look forward to every video you guys post,,you are a lovely couple with such good vibes ❤❤❤❤❤ I will be visiting puerto plata for a month at the end of the year with families so I’m so glad to have found your channel.. Keep up the good work and enjoy ❤❤❤❤❤❤from Vancouver
Oh nearly forgot. The title of this video is a bit clickbaity don’t u think) It implies that this is about problems and don’t move here till you talk to us. You guys are way better than that. The video is pretty positive.
Hi guys, first of all keep up the great posts and nice to see you back in our special place. And yes LT is very special to me and my wife and I have been to DR 25 times and we own a beautiful condo near playa Popy. Now with regards to LT, yes there are power outages and some water issues, but we have that here where we live . The rainy season used to be may , July and August, but that is changing and due to the rain , that’s why LT looks so beautiful. As for the prices of homes, LT has gotten allot higher since we bought our place in 2019, with allot of foreign investment , especially from the large French and Italian owners and also Americans and Canadians. I will put LT’s beaches on par with allot of best beaches in the Caribbean and you will find that cabarete is more expensive, especially condo fees due to the windsurfing Mecca that it is.
I heard that you mentioned that the people in Las Terrenas are snooty. I can only say this because I'm Canadian. The only people in the past 8 years of our visits that are unfriendly are the French Canadians.
5:23 Hey!! I see us in the background walking into the store! LOL. Thanks for all your videos! Don’t let the negative comments get you down! We love Las Terrenas as well!
I'm glad I found your videos. So my husband and I were looking to buy a property in Las Terreras until we found out about Casa Linda in Sosua, now we are planning to visit DR and go to both places. I have been in both places but in All Inclusive resorts which is a totally different atmosphere. May I ask why you chose Cabarete over Las Terreras, Punta Cana or Bayahibe? Thanks much
We prefer the north coast over the south in general. But we have a video specifically on Cabarete Vs Las Terrenas that's over 30 mins. Watch that if you can - Trevor
Hi guys, I don’t see the link for the real estate agent you mentioned. Agree about the infrastructure. You really need a place with back-up power. It goes out all the time. I was in a place with no extra power and it was really frustrating. I know Kiki’s! Am just down the road left at Eden Beach.
It’s very hard to get to las terrenas - a long long drive - it’s beautiful but no flights there 😮only a few from Europe- maybe 1 from Canada -1 From USA - - please show the world the best of Samana - they have the best tree eco hotels in the jungle - take the speed boat to playa fronton wow 😊 I was there not long ago -- greeting from Colombia 🇨🇴 - DR is the best of the best of the Caribbean
You can get flights from Montreal (AirTransat) and most likely Toronto (Air Canada?).....GOOGLE FLIGHTS not the best search for this...airport code AZS for Las Terranes. Keep up the great videos Anna and Trevor.
Did you made it to el calbito restaurant?@ last galeras ???--) playa ermitaño 1&2s ,playa fronton samana , caño frío samana ? Playa cozon samana ? Playa punta poppy samana ? Playa colorada samana ? CAP limón 🍋 beach club @ el limon town ? Access code - restaurant please -) they will open the gate -
Hey you guys are awesome. I agree about the vibe in LT as I have experienced it. There is no reason for an expat to ever say that, that is soo low, the dominican people have been open for business and that is why the DR IS currently outperforming all of Latam in GDP growth! It is expected to keep growing by 5% yr over yr for next 5 years. I have been to both places and I chose Cabarete to invest in. Here is why: 1. Easier to access, more convenient, close to airport. (LT is 2 hrs from airport that time adds up) 2. Better vibe, explained above 3. Better for water sports 4. More affordable and better prices 5. More to do within a 1hr driving radius you have everything you need
Hi guysssss, I would love to go with you to Greece, but I can't, I'm go to visit my Baby in Vietnam and the tickets ate really expensive. You guys are the best. Sorry that the weather was not good in Las Terrenas. Better luck for next time. Besitos ❤
Dominicans are the friendliest people in this whole planet. So don't pay attention to nobody else.Thank you for all you do for my hermosa isla!!!!!🇩🇴🇺🇸🙏🏽
Those kinds of behaviors from expats or some europeans in LT, for me it has a resemblance to tribalism, in this case, with a negative connotation and in a political context, tribalism means discriminatory behavior or attitudes towards out-groups, based on in-group loyalty or belonging to a place. Which is a social paradox in LT 😅
Cabarete is not only better than Las Terrenas, but its one of the most beautiful places to visit and live around the world. I've been to many countries and places and I cant tell you that Cabarete is top 3 and even top 1 for me personally.
All people are welcome to the Dominican Republic but at the same time when we get many new comers we all so get many people with new things we don’t appreciate
Ownership is one of the most common problems in LT. Most of the people that live here are either coming to this area for a long time, or have being visiting since young with their parents, specially French and Italians. They kept it quiet for a while but now with RUclips it’s getting a lot of attention and they are worried about losing their piece of paradise. That’s where the ownership feeling comes from.

Thanks for sharing your experiences in the Dominican Republic. That please Las Terrenas looked so good. We will be visiting the place in April for our next vacation. Me and my wife are Filipino-Canadian. We've seen most of your videos on your trips around the world. We love the honest comments and places reviews. We're learning so much. Thank you.
Luv it! We miss the Philippines now ❤️🎤
Where did Kikis get English muffins? I have lived in Las Terrenas now for almost a year and I haven't found English muffins anywhere except on Komida and they are really expensive. As for the infrastructure issues - you are absolutely correct. The power goes out frequently - if you work online, you need a back-up generator. And the water infrastructure is a constant problem.
Hi guys, beautiful Las Terrenas, as you mentioned, most tourist in that area are from Europe, French, Germans and Dutch and usually they would go skiing in January and February then to the warmer places from March on. Maybe that’s why there are not many tourists in Las Terrenas at this time. Wishing you a sunnier time overt there😃🙏🏼💕🍀🇩🇴
Oh maybe... that could be it for sure - Anna
Hola, I'm coming in May. I would like to know if I can use US currency or should have DP. Also, just ignore the comments you both are doing a great job. Las Terrenas has been known for a while. I believe more Americans are not coming because of the travel from the airport. I believe you have to have tourist to bring money to the town. Also, if I was in the RD on a rainy day, I would still be out enjoying some good food, a beer, and reading a great book. I will be bring a lot of books to read.
You are definitely spot on about a lot of the xpats I met.
🤙
I watch your videos almost every day and you both make me very happy thank you. I’m actually going to be in Santo Domingo in April of this year. Keep it up. Enjoy every moment of your videos and thank you.
Have fun in SD! We so dig that city 🤙
It is truth, Samana is not well developed in many infrastructures. They still need to have better government support in areas like health, etc. You are right the development are ahead of how to supply the population's needs.
You need to look for cold fronts in the winter. From November through March. Plan accordingly.
Please tell us how to do that when you have to book accommodations in advance because of high season. You can't plan for the weather months out - Trevor
Hello guys, so bad you didn’t have good weather in las terrenas this time around. My family and I spent 3 weeks in las terrenas last summer and it was the complete opposite for us, the forecast almost every day was rain all day but the rain never came, it was absolutely beautiful everyday, the beaches where so beautiful and calm.
Wish we had your luck haha - Trevor
Definitely some food for thought about Las Terrenas and tourism. Looking forward to more videos of the DR 😀.
Cheers Colleen… it has its issue but overall LT is an amazing place 😀 - Trevor
Excellent excellent contents guys the DR it’s a bomb all around but las terrenas has a very special juice.
Keep up the good work 😊.
They need urgent legislation to attenuate noise.
I've been wanting to go to Dominican Republic and visit the areas you mentioned, it really looks inviting. My go to breakfast dish for years my family requested were my mama mc muffins. I used pan fried Canadian bacon, cheese, eggs on a toasted/buttered English muffin. It was quite a hit and was easy to eat on the long drive to school for the children. For weekends it's what I made occasionally and also served a fruit smoothie. I've been known to make them for campouts too.
Great videos guys, thank you for showing these amazing places in the DR. You guys have to go to Altos de Chavón, casa de Campo, La Romana .That place is beautiful!!!
Love your videos guys. I look forward to your videos. Please don’t take the negative comments get to you. ❤
Thank you so much! - Anna
Great video and true, there is a sense of ownership in LT. Because it has very drastically developed and for the expats and locals that have been there before the road was put in , in 2013 to link it to the also relatively new el Catey airport, 2011, things became allot busier and change can be hard, but change is always possible. We hope to see both of you some day and you were staying right beside where we have our beautiful home. Look forward to more videos and always keep it real, plan to visit cabarete this year when we come down, so maybe will get a chance to say hi over a presidente.
We are Vlogging in Las Terrenas as well and live Dominican Republic.
Hopefully one day we will meet in the paradise :)
🤗
Hi friends, greetings from Toronto! Thank you for sharing so much helpful, informative content! 2 quick questions: during your stays in Las Terrenas, was it nice and quiet at night (and/or the afternoons at siesta time)? Or are neighbor parties and music becoming more the standard, both on the beaches and in accommodations areas? Thank you!!
As you know we just spent our first big post Covid vacation in the DR & we LOVED it. We stayed five days in Las Terrenas and five days in Cabarete. We liked each area for different reasons. Some of the most spectacular beaches, like Playa Grande, are close to Las Terrenas. We found Las T very traffic heavy and as you’ve stated in past videos it’s because of the one street in, one street out. That being said, we stayed at an AirBnB next to Ristorante La Dolce Vita and that end of Las T is quieter. There are wonderful restaurants that we could walk to that were less an 1/4 of a mile. There are so many more restaurants we’d like to try. As for Cabarete, that was more my vibe. It seems less chaotic, traffic is not as crazy as in Las T. We love that Cabarete is so close to Sosua & Puerto Plata and the airport in Puerto Plata. We did drive to Puerto Plata one day and checked out the tourist area which was very nice. A cruise ship was in and it didn’t even feel like it. We have already planned to return in early May, we have a couple of properties we are interested in looking into for VRBO/AirBnB. Like you said in this video many people are looking for options outside the US and Canada as both places have become super expensive.
So appreciate your comment and thanks for always watching 🤙 - Trevor
I was wondering after your videos what do you do all day in Dominican Republic? How do you occupy yourselves other than your videos and you guys complement each other perfectly? It’s a pleasure keep them coming.
Thanks! The videos take up a lot of our time in general. Then throw in our web design company and that fills the day. We always find time for the beach though. We're often there! - Trevor
As always guys. Love you. Can't wait to meet you.....great video. At least you don't have the snow and cold weather from upstate NY. Enjoy
Stay warm up there in NY 🥶 We so appreciate you watching - Trevor
Trevor's new top looks good!👍🏻⛰️
🤙
you said rainy day tips and i heard rainy day kiss at first and then i accidentally typed paint
so MY RAINY DAY TIPS ARE KISS AND PAINT SOMETHING ON A CANVAS MAYBE TWO PEOPLE KISSING IN THE RAIN
🤗
OMG - what you said about the attitude of the expats here is bang on! If you make any kind of suggestion to improve things they tell you to go back to your own country then. It's crazy!
It had to be said honestly... but we so absolutely ❤️ LT
Hi guys I feel so bad about how you felt from that selfish person's comment. I mean I don't know what his nationality is but I am Dominican and I love my country and the way you guys present it in your videos. I feel grateful to have you showing the world some of the beautiful places here in DR. Thank you and keep up the good and honest work you're doing. Believe me, true Dominicans would love you for it.
That means so much coming from a Dominican 🤗 - Anna
Are you kidding me? I love and look forward to every video you guys post,,you are a lovely couple with such good vibes ❤❤❤❤❤
I will be visiting puerto plata for a month at the end of the year with families so I’m so glad to have found your channel..
Keep up the good work and enjoy ❤❤❤❤❤❤from Vancouver
🤗 Thanks so much!
Its nice to visit Las T. The beaches a great. But,.... We prefer Cabarete, the people are wonderful.
OMG a "homemade" EggMcMuffin and hash browns....YUM. Thanks for this (from DR!) McD's is too greasy!.
Oh nearly forgot. The title of this video is a bit clickbaity don’t u think) It implies that this is about problems and don’t move here till you talk to us. You guys are way better than that. The video is pretty positive.
Hi guys, first of all keep up the great posts and nice to see you back in our special place. And yes LT is very special to me and my wife and I have been to DR 25 times and we own a beautiful condo near playa Popy. Now with regards to LT, yes there are power outages and some water issues, but we have that here where we live . The rainy season used to be may , July and August, but that is changing and due to the rain , that’s why LT looks so beautiful. As for the prices of homes, LT has gotten allot higher since we bought our place in 2019, with allot of foreign investment , especially from the large French and Italian owners and also Americans and Canadians. I will put LT’s beaches on par with allot of best beaches in the Caribbean and you will find that cabarete is more expensive, especially condo fees due to the windsurfing Mecca that it is.
We so agree! LT beaches are some of the best we've seen in the world even. It's odd because it's cheaper to rent in Cabarete but not buy - Anna
filght prices are really bad... from montreal! air bnb 's doubled...
I heard that you mentioned that the people in Las Terrenas are snooty. I can only say this because I'm Canadian. The only people in the past 8 years of our visits that are unfriendly are the French Canadians.
5:23 Hey!! I see us in the background walking into the store! LOL. Thanks for all your videos! Don’t let the negative comments get you down! We love Las Terrenas as well!
😊😊😊
Keep doing your job and pumping out great videos! You guys are great! A+
I'm glad I found your videos. So my husband and I were looking to buy a property in Las Terreras until we found out about Casa Linda in Sosua, now we are planning to visit DR and go to both places. I have been in both places but in All Inclusive resorts which is a totally different atmosphere. May I ask why you chose Cabarete over Las Terreras, Punta Cana or Bayahibe? Thanks much
We prefer the north coast over the south in general. But we have a video specifically on Cabarete Vs Las Terrenas that's over 30 mins. Watch that if you can - Trevor
Love you guys and great video! ❤❤❤
Great show guys
Hi guys, I don’t see the link for the real estate agent you mentioned. Agree about the infrastructure. You really need a place with back-up power. It goes out all the time. I was in a place with no extra power and it was really frustrating. I know Kiki’s! Am just down the road left at Eden Beach.
Good catch! Totally forgot to add it to the description but the contact link is there now. Thank you. - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers great thanks
it could be snowing...
It’s very hard to get to las terrenas - a long long drive - it’s beautiful but no flights there 😮only a few from Europe- maybe 1 from Canada -1
From USA - - please show the world the best of Samana - they have the best tree eco hotels in the jungle - take the speed boat to playa fronton wow 😊 I was there not long ago -- greeting from Colombia 🇨🇴 - DR is the best of the best of the Caribbean
You can get flights from Montreal (AirTransat) and most likely Toronto (Air Canada?).....GOOGLE FLIGHTS not the best search for this...airport code AZS for Las Terranes.
Keep up the great videos Anna and Trevor.
Did you made it to el calbito restaurant?@ last galeras ???--) playa ermitaño 1&2s ,playa fronton samana , caño frío samana ? Playa cozon samana ? Playa punta poppy samana ? Playa colorada samana ? CAP limón 🍋 beach club @ el limon town ? Access code - restaurant please -) they will open the gate -
We've been to a lot of those places you listed... check the channel 👍- Trevor
Hey you guys are awesome. I agree about the vibe in LT as I have experienced it. There is no reason for an expat to ever say that, that is soo low, the dominican people have been open for business and that is why the DR IS currently outperforming all of Latam in GDP growth! It is expected to keep growing by 5% yr over yr for next 5 years. I have been to both places and I chose Cabarete to invest in.
Here is why:
1. Easier to access, more convenient, close to airport. (LT is 2 hrs from airport that time adds up)
2. Better vibe, explained above
3. Better for water sports
4. More affordable and better prices
5. More to do within a 1hr driving radius you have everything you need
Such good points! Thanks for such a great comment - Trevor
What airport would you fly into? Is transportation available from POP? Its beautiful, hope you to are enjoying yourselves
I'm wondering the same. I want to go now just to annoy those people who don't want me there! 🤣Lol
There is an airport close by but that has limited flights (mainly from Canada). Santo Domingo would be your best (and closest) bet 👍 - Trevor
😅@@darrylp902
Hi guysssss, I would love to go with you to Greece, but I can't, I'm go to visit my Baby in Vietnam and the tickets ate really expensive.
You guys are the best. Sorry that the weather was not good in Las Terrenas. Better luck for next time.
Besitos ❤
Next time!
Hola it’s me 😂again 😂-) it’s winter time you will not get the best -)Jan - Feb - March - wait till April
Thanks for watching Carlos! 🤗- Anna
bad luck, a lot of rain was predicted for that week on the north coast
It was such a terrible week weather wise 😫We still had a blast though, we luv LT - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers There is a polar wave in Canada and the USA that is affecting us too !!!
Hey guys, if u come to Las Terrenas in a few weeks just don't come in Semana santa (March 24-30).
Oh we know haha… too many ppl there for us at that time - Anna
I always feel like I’m having a meal with you guys haha 😊
haha
Dominicans are the friendliest people in this whole planet. So don't pay attention to nobody else.Thank you for all you do for my hermosa isla!!!!!🇩🇴🇺🇸🙏🏽
So true!!
🙏
Those kinds of behaviors from expats or some europeans in LT, for me it has a resemblance to tribalism, in this case, with a negative connotation and in a political context, tribalism means discriminatory behavior or attitudes towards out-groups, based on in-group loyalty or belonging to a place. Which is a social paradox in LT 😅
I heard you are travelling to other islands. Is my island Curacao in the picture? Just let me know. Been following you guys for many years now.
Not this time around... we do have older videos on Curacao though - Anna
And when it’s raining her we’re we live in Brazil and in LT , we are in the ocean with a cold beer or brutal lol
haha
Hi Where in las Terranas is that plaza where you have the coffee located?
Just at the front of the cruise ship buildings - Anna
I go to the pool anyway when it’s raining in the Caribbean lol
haha same!
Dominicans love to vacation at Las Terrenas ❤
We totally get why! 😀 - Anna
Love you guys.. excelente....
🤙
Hey guys, the reason why Cabarete is more expensive than las Terrenas is because Cabarete is better than las Terrenas in general.
haha.. that's an interesting way to put it 🤪- Trevor
😅😅😅😅
😂😂😂
Word
Cabarete is not only better than Las Terrenas, but its one of the most beautiful places to visit and live around the world. I've been to many countries and places and I cant tell you that Cabarete is top 3 and even top 1 for me personally.
I’m from New Zealand and to be honest I watch your videos to see parts of the world that I will probably never get to 😂
We appreciate you following along 🤗 - Anna
All people are welcome to the Dominican Republic but at the same time when we get many new comers we all so get many people with new things we don’t appreciate
the attack of the flies its happened to me too
Ownership is one of the most common problems in LT. Most of the people that live here are either coming to this area for a long time, or have being visiting since young with their parents, specially French and Italians. They kept it quiet for a while but now with RUclips it’s getting a lot of attention and they are worried about losing their piece of paradise. That’s where the ownership feeling comes from.
You were near where I live - I wish I had seen you! :)
We're back in LT in a few weeks! Can't wait
