This week we're again in Las Terrenas where things aren't going as planned. We've arrived in the area for one of the worst weeks we've experienced with weather in the Dominican Republic. Throughout the video we talk about some things you might need to know about Las Terrenas if you're coming here or moving here including infrastructure, culture, Expats and more. We make our way around the town as we talk about some good things and some problems with Las Terrenas.

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 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks Dee 👊 I think a lot of folks who move here forget that it belongs to Dominicans - Trevor

[@lmoore2828]

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.

[@moisescamilo272]

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.

[@denirobles9007]

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.

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!

[@terrigray9730]

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. 😮

[@DelightfulTravellers]

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

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.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Have fun in SD! We so dig that city 🤙

[@ricosauve21]

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.

[@kristapedersen1828]

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.

[@sarahmanning525]

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.

[@TiffMend-ph2kh]

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! 🌟

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😃🙏🏼💕🍀🇩🇴

[@QueensNY718]

Hey guys, the reason why Cabarete is more expensive than las Terrenas is because Cabarete is better than las Terrenas in general.

Hello guys, so bad you didn’t have good weather in las terrenas this time around.

Wish we had your luck haha - Trevor

[@spencerboult2228]

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 KZbin 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.

[@lmoore2828]

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.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

So appreciate your comment and thanks for always watching 🤙 - Trevor

[@dougbeers6123]

You need to look for cold fronts in the winter. From November through March. Plan accordingly.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

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

[@ricosauve21]

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.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

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

[@rogerlecuyer6316]

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.

[@CABNoLimit]

Agree

[@goodgriefwithdevaneely]

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.

[@anaserrano1149]

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.

[@Laplaya377]

Ignore the negative comments, love your videos. I am moving back to my beloved island next year and after spending lots of time in LT (my uncles own land and apartments there) I have made the decision to move back to the north coast. My father's family is from Puerto Plata. I love Cabarete and I think the people are a little bit nicer on the north coast. After spending 2 months in LT, I realized I need a closer airport and better infrastructure to live there full time. IMO! I will visit Las Terrenas but I could not live there full time. It's funny how the Europeans think they own it.

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.

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

[@DelightfulTravellers]

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

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

Dominicans love to vacation at Las Terrenas ❤

We totally get why! 😀 - Anna

Hi I think you need to listen to the locals and smile and nod to other silly people. I am sure the locals are happy to have you show their beautiful home. Big hugs from 🇨🇦

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.

Hi Where in las Terranas is that plaza where you have the coffee located?

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

[@yowzeh]

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.

[@fransvanderhorst1783]

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.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Not this time around... we do have older videos on Curacao though - Anna

[@conocete-porjuanavasquez9490]

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 KZbin 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.

[@MattSmith-pf5di]

What airport would you fly into? Is transportation available from POP? Its beautiful, hope you to are enjoying yourselves

[@darrylp902]

I'm wondering the same. I want to go now just to annoy those people who don't want me there! 🤣Lol

[@DelightfulTravellers]

There is an airport close by but that has limited flights (mainly from Canada). Santo Domingo would be your best (and closest) bet 👍 - Trevor

filght prices are really bad... from montreal! air bnb 's doubled...

[@susancolello8519]

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.

[@melisherwood5300]

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.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Good catch! Totally forgot to add it to the description but the contact link is there now. Thank you. - Anna

[@melisherwood5300]

[@felixjosesuarez]

You guys are right. Those foreigners don't want anyone in Las Terrenas, not even Dominicans from other towns 🙆🏻. It's like they own the town. 😆
