Hey Trevor, l do drink beers in the DR often and l found that Bohemia beer is actually a better beer than Corona and Presidente. This is why tons of Canadians drink Bohemia in the DR so much.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

For me, they are a little too strong in taste in hot weather 😀 I prefer lighter ‘beach beer’ in hot climates - Trevor

[@melisherwood5300]

I have been in LT 6 weeks and 2 days ago rented a car and drove to PB..I walked along the beach looking for somewhere for a late lunch and guess where I ended up - Beluga…finally got to try tostones with a whole fish. Coconut ice cream for dessert - really good service. You re right about the vibe being totally different (am staying at Las Balllenas).

Ballenas is pretty amazing as well. It's hard to pick a fav haha - Trevor

People always want to know prices for things. Thanks again and maybe we will see you on the beach in March!

Hi there my favorites Canadiminicans 😃… Las Terrenas is a beautiful town but you’re right, the traffic during high season is very hectic, it reminds me of Saint Tropez in the South of France where you have one two lane road to come into and go out of town, so in the Sommer months you stand hours in traffic trying to come in or out.

Thank you for great informative videos 🥳 We are looking to going to Terrenas in December for a family-trip - with 3 kids age 6,12 and 17. We are a little curious about the driving. We know that you are fond of ATVs however we are looking into renting a car and driving from Santi Domingo to Las Terrenas, then a short stayover in Santo Domingo on the way to Punta Cana (Bavaro) and ending the trip with an all inclusive stay. However we are arriving late in the afternoon and don't. know if we should just do the drive in the early evening or wait a night and drive in the morning🤔Having been in DR for many times - what would you do?

[@DelightfulTravellers]

So glad you like our videos 😀 Credit Cards are your best friend for a lot of places / hotels / restaurants. But cash can be king of course. We just go to ATMs and withdraw Pesos. We always have a little on us but mainly use our credit cards when we can. Remember your debit card will only work at ATMs here. Not in restaurants, for shopping etc 👍 - Trevor

[@ohiobabe9146]

Just a question? My hubby and I are really interested in visiting this area mostly due to your videos.. what airport do you fly into? And what transportation do you use to get from airport to destination. When we go we usually go all inclusive and transport is always included but we think we would like to venture out of the norm.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

It really depends where you’re flying from but for us it’s usually puerto plata or Punta Cana 👍 - Trevor

[@fernandez1003]

Samaná has an airport but limited flights. Puerto Plata is a mayor airport and closer. But more choices would be Las Americas International Airport in Santo Domingo but has to drive the new Autopista Nordeste (#7) north all the way to Samaná for about 2 hours. Download local Google maps for no wifi navigation while in DR and just be careful driving.
