[@theendisnow4654]

I think the most important question is have is what do you do for work

[@DelightfulTravellers]

@ did you watch the video? We actually spend a good few minutes talking about that! - Anna

[@dchristie100]

How do you get away with Canada only let's you out for 6 months. Are you officially going to stay there?

[@franciscoabreu135]

I share your videos on my facebook page for my friends home in Florida, Georgia, and the rest of the South. As a dominican born (US citizen) you made me proud of where I came from. Thank you ❤

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks so much and a big extra thanks for being a channel member 🤗 - Anna

[@jorgeduran7168]

I show to many people here in USA how happy you feel in my country DR. ❤😂

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Luv it! thanks for sharing our videos 🤗- Anna

[@nilomanalo]

You guys are lucky. It’s-26c in Winnipeg right now 🥶. As a Filipino living in Canada for over 20 years now, we love DR as an alternative to Philippines.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We always say the DR and the Philippines have so much in common! - Anna

[@nilomanalo]

@@DelightfulTravellers It's because DR and Philippines were both colonized by Spain.

[@JoseCruz-p5j9e]

Gracias por elegir mi país,les queremos mucho.ustedes nos han mostrado lo hermoso de mi tierra, y amo más mi tierra.

[@landb3893]

Just back from our month holiday , lovely to see you on the beach. The weather when we were there was not the best, oh…the rain! The beach is lovely and we walked at least 15 km every day along it, so gorgeous. We never did eat out….i am a diet controlled diabetic so much of that yummy food is off limits. A lot of the food is cheaper there, with ground beef at less than $5 CAD a pound. The butter killed me…but I bought it anyway. Condo prices a great and we were impressed. Sadly our holiday was cursed with illness and bad weather….and a very nasty virus when we got home (darn those airplanes). We may have to try again…. Happy you’re living your best life!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Glad you had fun and hear you on the viruses. I just had food poisoning 😑 Better now though - Trevor

[@CarmenLeon-y2u]

We love that you two are “normal” people, so great and so blessed! TY for keeping it real!!!

[@edwardulrich1515]

Trevor and Anna, Cabarete is so beautiful. I can see why you enjoy it so much. One could never starve on that stretch of beach; you are spoiled for choice of restaurants. Enjoy you new year at "home." 😊

[@DelightfulTravellers]

It truly is paradise! 🙏

[@veronicaromero6317]

I'm from Santo Domingo and me and my husband feel in love with cabarette we live there for a year it was the best time ever but we think to go back there when my husband retired in couple years hopefully.

[@richardlugo3396]

Cabarette is beautiful to visit, retiring must be awesome

[@PeacefulJA]

Starting this coming Tuesday I’ll be staying near Cabarete for the next two weeks. I always feel at home there. Thank you for the great videos. Peace and Love. Joshua

[@DelightfulTravellers]

You'll have a blast - Cabarete is the best! 🤗 - Anna

[@penguin36]

Gracias, I was born in Dominican Republic but raised in the USA. I have learned so much from your videos. I only been to Santo Domingo. All these other places I know nothing about.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

You’ll have to come back to visit! It’s pretty special here - Trevor

[@hilarionunez2725]

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Love this tour of Cabarete! Food looked delicious too. You two had a vision/dream and with ALOT of hard work and perseverance you two are living your best life. We couldn’t be happier for you! ~Cara ❤

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We really appreciate it Cara! 😀 - Anna

[@michaelmmcintyre]

My family and I stayed at the Condo’s next to Valero over Christmas and New Years two years ago. It was one of the most low stress Holiday vacations I’ve ever had. We stayed 10 days for a family of four in a 2 bed condo over Xmas/NYE flying out of JFK and the most expensive day was the hotel stay in JFK. Total was less than $9k and we didn’t skimp one bit, with tourist excursions and eating out. I can’t recommend Cabarete enough. Side Note: the supermarket down the alley, and mobile laundry pickup / dropoff with Laundry Tejada was excellent and reasonably priced.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi all lovely friends how are you happy Monday night and happy new year to both of you and you all amazing supporter

[@DelightfulTravellers]

🤗

[@bonifaciocastillo1560]

I recommend visiting Samaná from the end of January to the end of March, which is when the whales come. The way you make the videos is very interesting.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

thanks! We've seen the whales there but fun fact... in the summer months they swim up to our home province of Canada 🇨🇦🐳

[@mike.3403]

Que linda historia la que contaron. Todo en la vida es tomar riesgos. Adelante. Linda pareja ....

[@adorableme2361]

What a delightful video. 😀. I agree 💯! Just arrived today and looking forward to spending 2 months in Cabarete 😎

[@janicepottie802]

I can certainly appreciate that it takes a long time to develop your videos! I’m so glad you took some calculated risks to give us such great content!💖💖

[@DelightfulTravellers]

So glad you're enjoying them Janice 👍 - Trevor

[@juliettezaiser784]

More rain lately (off and on). Just arrived back to Pro-Cab so I hope to see you again and learn more about the local restaurants.

[@whirltraveller1350]

The plantain you are eating is ripe and fried. The tostones are green plantain that is pounded and fried. Enjoy.

[@Lovellyplantsandthings]

So excited to see yall back in Cabarete. Loved the chill vibe and beach walk of this video. We will be back there in 2 months…can’t wait! Snagged the restaurant guide to prep for our trip. Love that you put your favorites at each place. ❤

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We so appreciate you buying the guide. Thanks for your support 🤗 - Anna

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Have so much fun! - Anna

[@Gem25949]

2024 has been a record year on rains in the DR. "Winter" in the Dominican Republic used to be the "dry season". Clear blue skies, soft weather (temperature hights about 27° Celsius), and not rain at all between november and the next may. That was the usual weather for generations, but things changed a couple of years ago: 2022, 23, 24. Climate change for sure!

[@Valvids1963]

Great to see you guys in your happy place. Hubby & I haven’t been to Cabarete yet. However, because of your videos we're gonna have to make our way there. The sunshine and ocean are oh so inviting, especially as I sit here in Moncton while it's -10°C feeling like -19°. 🥶 Feliz Año Nuevo guys!!! Enjoy the sun, sand and surf.

[@cesarsantos8838]

You guys can do a video of carnaval vegano in february in the city of la vega.

[@ThePeter1681]

Thank you for loving our little piece of land, the Dominican Republic.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

It's so easy to ❤️ the 🇩🇴 - Anna

[@karenglaicar5486]

Nice video, great info. I have changed my mind now on Punta Cana, I think Cabarete would be a better holiday for me. Maybe next year, going on my first caribbean cruise in March. Thanks and take care.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Cabarete is really fun - you're going to love it! - Anna

[@roseanneberrios7174]

That beach reminds me of the beaches in Puerto Rico.

[@manuelrodriguez4743]

We finally saw the famous and classic “THE NORTH COAST SHIRT” at the place it belongs 🤩🎉 Thank you guys, we love the restaurant you guys ate. Will be our next place when we go back to the island 🏝️😎 🗣️be safe guys 🙌🏼

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Haha thanks!

[@carlatejada2955]

Uff!! You make me love my country even more than I already do! ❤❤ Sometimes we crave some cold weather but definitely it feels so good living in paradise!! Love your videos!

You’re amazing and so entertaining videos

[@DelightfulTravellers]

🥰

[@Dee-pj7hh]

Yes the first time I went to caberate beach I was blown away. It’s a very beautiful beach; but I took my shoes off, that sand was hot like fire. I was also very impressed how will put together and more upscale the restaurants look. Are both of you left handed? Great video guys👍

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thank you! - Anna

[@shleprocks]

Greetings from Southern Ontario ..When I think of Paradise. I think of Aruba, Curacao, St Martin & most of Costa Rica. I prefer DR over Cuba & Jamaica. Been there 3 times. Including Cabarete. We are heading to Mazatlan Mexico for a month soon. Looking forward to it.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

To each their own of course 😀 Most of places are much more expensive (Americanized) and lack the culture for us minus Costa Rica of course. That said, CR has too many snakes 🐍 🤣 The DR is our Paradise - Trevor

[@mike.3403]

Me gusta mucho la dedicación y el entusiasmo que le ponen a los vídeos. Me gustan mucho los vídeos que han mostrado el agrado que sienten de el sector Piantinni en Santo Domingo.

[@681Group]

You guys inspire....much love in 2025

My wife and I stayed in Cabarete last Jan/Feb/Mar and it was amazing. We ran into you guys at a cafe which was nice. We are headed to Curaçao in July but only staying 10 days to see if we like it

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Curacao is so much fun! You'll luv it - Anna

Hola mi gente hermosa 😍 ❤ se quedaron en mi país bienvenido 🇩🇴🌴

[@DelightfulTravellers]

¡Muchas gracias! We’re loving it here! 🥰

[@FarangWithAChang]

I forgot how long that beach is. Last time I stayed in procab and walked to Kite beach to work from El Cocotazo Cafe. I think if I go back I may look at Ocean Dreams. Much less walking.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Sadly, there's a giant seawall on the beach now on the way to Kite beach. You can only make it to your old work spot on low tide now - Anna

[@FarangWithAChang]

I figured that would happen sooner or later, seems it's the Caribbean thing to do to limit beach access.

[@lizajane1878]

Love you guys!! Great video.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks so much!

[@bonifaciocastillo1560]

I am really happy you are enjoying this beautiful country , I hope néxt time you are comming to Santo Domingo récord la Zona Colonial, and other incredibles places. From your favorite Bell boy😅

[@DelightfulTravellers]

So appreciate that. We have quite a few videos that our a bit older on Zona Colonial actually. Go check them out! 😀 - Anna

[@Pochiro-kf5eo]

Nice!!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

😀

[@portiabates8648]

I’ve been following you guys for years! I love watching you in Cabarete. Could you please tell me if there are any swimmable beaches in the area? I love the look of Cabarete but the waves are a lot! Also, could you do a healthcare video or link me to one you have done? I would love to see medical centers and if there are home visits.

[@asan1050]

Thanks for the video. Taking the risk to be Full-Time KZbinrs was brave!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks!

[@Katherine-v9w]

Hello, I just came across your channel. Cabarete looks like paradise and seems like a great place for family living. I’d love to learn more about Cabarete through your content. Could you please visit a private school in Cabarete and show what it’s like? I have a 3 year-old daughter. I’ve also been checking out supermarkets in Cabarete, could you do a comparison between Jane’s Supermarket and Supermarket La Rosa? Thank you so much!

[@drewthomas7835]

Another great video. 👍. Just curious what camera are you using?

[@amandaspriet3076]

Curious on how you found the rentals before buying

[@ocurrenciasmagicas7566]

[@DelightfulTravellers]

🥰

[@dionysdelrosario9608]

Wao you made me hungry 🤤

[@philippagliaro6314]

What a beautiful place

[@DelightfulTravellers]

💯

[@raindances3310]

In April we are hoping to stay at the Casa Marina in Sousa and then head to the Viva Wyndham Tangerine in Cabarate. Can't wait to explore the areas! Do you guys swim much on Cabarate beach?

[@l.p.c7158]

I think you would be better staying in an airbnb and not an all-inclusive. I have lived there for 2.5 years. Find a driver and explore the area. I do not advise driving here your first visit

[@raindances3310]

@l.p.c7158 We've looked at both avenues but feel the resorts are cheaper for a two week period because that covers most of our meals. We definitely plan on hiring a driver though!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Have so much fun! We don't swim at the beach too often only because we're often working in the days ha - Trevor

[@juliettezaiser784]

Swimming and snorkeling in Sosua is better than swimming in Cabarete (dangerous).

[@raindances3310]

@juliettezaiser784 I was wondering about that. I feel like I'd prefer Cabarete, but I also want to be close to a swimmable beach.

[@JohanneBoucher-r5k]

Mojitos is our favorite too!❤❤

[@DelightfulTravellers]

The best!

[@greghill254]

Greetings! Love your videos!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@Kristoferwitha_k]

Please tell me that cabarete is cheaper than punta Cana? When I was there renting a place in Cana Rock Right next to the hard Rock hotel. It was like between $50 and $80 just to get from there to the jumbo grocery store and back by taxi and Uber was not allowed inside of that housing complex and groceries were even more expensive than in America and some cases. The rent for the place that I was staying in for the month was $3,000 a month. Ridiculous. It was like the same prices if not higher in some aspects as South Florida where I'm from

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Overall it’s cheaper. But if you want to spend money, it can be just as expensive - Anna

[@lemino10]

I'm from Ottawa and thinking of going to DR. Any suggestions on where to stay?

[@kellykrueckeberg7676]

I love watching your shows, especially the DR! We went to Cabarete in 2018 and love seeing how it’s growing. We hope to move back with our two young kids. Only concerned of the prostitutes and trafficking in sosua area… maybe it’s cleaned up by now. You are a humble and sweet couple- fun and informative to watch! Thank you 😊

[@ParteraQuisqueyana]

You will never come across those issues unless you seek it or act carelessly. Just stay away from Sosua and you’ll be fine. And yes, there are many efforts on cleaning up that area. I really can’t think of how a regular family would be exposed to that; it’s mostly underground activity.

[@juniorarias3915]

Bienvenidos a El Mejor Pais del Mundo ❤🇩🇴

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks! We live here 😀

[@juniorarias3915]

@DelightfulTravellers oh how good I'm glad to know, Blessings from Santo Domingo

[@josesierra3568]

I really enjoy your videos on cabarete beaches ⛱️ and the town soo manny good restaurants and the people are super nices.....

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Cabarete is the best! 🤙- Trevor

[@SharonMcLaughlin-ox6nx]

If you are staying so long where do you buy your food, example meats and vegetables? I am from Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia . We are going for the month of February.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

The grocery store of course. And a small veggie shop in town 😀 - Trevor

[@Elconcon809]

❤❤❤❤❤ THE MIGHTY DR ❤❤❤❤❤

[@juliewilson8702]

Hi Trevor and Anna, I enjoy your videos. Cabarete seems lovely. What part of the DR/city would you recommend for an older healthy traveler to see for a first time 4-5 day DR visit? Some time will be spent on a beach, but not a lot, and maybe not every day.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Hi Julie.. it's probably best to watch more of our videos so you can make that decision. We have lots of videos throughout the country 🤗 4-5 days is really quick so it will be hard to take it all in - Anna

[@juliewilson8702]

@DelightfulTravellers Thank you.

[@acaciomadeira5147]

What are rents like there and restraunt and market prices for food there as a canadian would be great if you did a video on that. Preferably rentals for 1 person

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Watch our videos… we touch on a lot of that - Anna

How is the town to walk in ? Do you find it safe coming from Canada?

[@DelightfulTravellers]

If you watch our vides you'll know that we find it completely safe - Anna

[@corvetteswithbowie7529]

@ I just came across your channel tonight. Just subscribed. My wife and I have been to puerto plata a few times and love it but real life vs vacation brain may be different. Do you guys talk about health care and such there ?

Listen, the word is Magical -- I am moving there soon and would love to meet up and hang. Let me know how it goes and I'll be in contact.

[@annekennedy8127]

Thank you for the video. Canadian here from beautiful Kincardine, Ontario. We can now get a flight from London, Ontario to the DR, thus do not have to deal with Toronto Pearson which is becoming impossible! We love Portugal and spend six weeks there every year to escape the extreme winter here but it is becoming a long and arduous trip now...Very interested in trying DR. As seniors, is there any particular area more suitable for our age group? Are you happy with the quality of health care there? Thank you.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

So cool! Cabarete is likely your place 👍 we can’t comment too much on the healthcare but we will touch on it a little in the next video - Trevor

[@soumountnaphonthepsone9900]

I am living in Canada too; north of Toronto 45 minutes. I have followed you for 2 years now. I just want to know if you have to have a visa to stay longer than 30 days in DR.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

No Visa… but you pay an exit fee (depending on how many months you stay) when you leave the country - Trevor

[@dionysdelrosario9608]

I paid $12 for a similar plate in Atlanta

[@marly5]

Those are fried plantains but ripe ones, we called Fritos de plátanos maduros

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Oh so good to know.. thanks 🙏- Trevor

[@melanieovalles5254]

I also got some weird cold when I first got here a few days ago. Do you find the prices of stuff has gone up again in DR? I feel like the conversion kills us Canadians😂 even when using pesos, stuff is seeming to go up every time I come back 😢

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We find prices are going up in every country we visit. It's not just here sadly 😕- Trevor

[@dchristie100]

I thought you are only allowed out of Canada for 6 months? Are you finally going to become a dominican?
