Life in the tranquility and beauty of Las Terrenas

Welcome and I am very glad you have found Las Terrenas to be to your liking. I loved my time there and try to get back as often as possible. Lived in Loma Ana for 6 months.

It certainly does appeal to Europeans but our North American friends are now discovering the place too.

I am a Brit  (half Irish - Cork mother) in construction (first job experience was with Wimpey -we emply more paddies every year - and later in life with John Sisk) and was involved in the now stalled De Coson project on the outskirts of the town. It was a wonderful concept but suffered after the 2008 crash and by the time I was brought in, it was in difficulties too big for an easy rescue.

The whole area is ripe for development but land prices appear high to me compared with other parts of DR.

Good luck in your ventures but do get to know the 'sindicos' who are strong in the Samana province.

(by the way your children have lovely names).

Welcome to the forums.  Good luck on everything.  Fyi we don't allow posting your links unless you want to post in the classifieds.
