Sosua Beach closing for renovations - the vendors have to go now by windeguy

Danny owns Malibu Beach Bar, or I should say owned since all the vendors now have to leave for the renovations:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPElF3zgyLA

You have to feel sorry for all the people that frequented that area to enjoy the many vendors and all the locals working there, earning a living. I have never been to this area so I can't comment on personal experiences but in the long-run, ... Read More

@windeguy Do you happen to have a link to the video from the government about the proposed plans? I’m currently building a place in Sosua but I have never actually been there. My wife and I have our first trip booked for October. We are not ... Read More

@dinosinc Hi, so what is the story behind this? What 'reno' are we talking about here? Actually upgrading the beach area and making it better or is there anything else going on? Something must be serious enough for the swat team to be called in. ... Read More

Hi Planner, my wife and I finally booked a trip to the North Coast for October; Sosua Beach was high on our list of places to check out and spend some time at. What is the story about this shut down? Apparently, this was in the making. Does it have ... Read More

Shipping Canada to the DR by Bob and Donna

We have a few household items we would like to ship from Toronto to Sosua. It will be a small wooden crate 4x4x6 weighing approx. 600lbs.. Can anyone assist us in recommending a reliable shipper? Many thanks.

Thank you DominicanadaMike. I might be visiting the DR this summer and will take a closer look at existing fittings to figure out how to move forward. Good to know about ABS and steel vs. stainless steel. Hopefully, our builder does use some better ... Read More

A lot of interesting info here in this thread. Thank you to all for contributing. We are in the process of building a villa in Sosua. It's close to completion with few items left to do but we're not crazy about some of the fixture selection offered ... Read More

Leaseback program in Casa Linda Sosua/Cabarete by LiveLife4U

I have recently visited the Casa Linda community in Sosua/Cabarete área. I plan on moving to the Dominican Republic but wasn’t too sure where? I’ve been to Punta Cana and Cap Cana, which I like because I’m from the United ...

DrexCanDR

There appears to be two different topics here, one - the vacation club - which is what my wife and I are doing and the 'lease back' program. Just to clarify, in April, CL offered three lots to investors to be entered into the vacation club ... Read More

Just to add to my previous comment, we made our decision within a day after seeing the lots our agents showed us 'live' via video call. We purchased in April and by May 1, CL's list prices went up by at least 10% so while I typically ... Read More

Hi, sounds like you are at a similar stage in life as my wife and I. While I agree that it is certainly a good idea to 'try before you buy', we didn't follow that rule at all. In fact, we have never been to Sosua or the north coast for ... Read More

Not belonging in the DR (How to thrive here) by Guest123089

Hi! I moved from a major US city to Punta Cana pre-pandemic, and for the moment, have nowhere else to live but here. I’m struggling, buddies. I’m not finding anyone like me, I don’t seem to mesh in with locals (Dominicans). ...

Bockri, do you have the option of trying a different part of the island to see if it suits you better? Perhaps rent out your place in PC and check out Las Terrenas? Susua? Just trying to present some options because you do sound ... Read More

Hello everyone! This forum looks to be a party waiting to happen. :) My wife Audrey and I (Walter) will be spending time in the DR down the road. We are both still 'pats' so the 'ex' will be added later. We are very excited with ... Read More
